Reviews of professor Richard Rose

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Two 4-page papers, a couple tests and two FEMA assignments. Prof Rose has great experience in the CEHC field, and the lectures were usually interesting (sometimes not). The class wasn't mandatory, but should be attended if you want to comprehend the material, at least for me. Rose's stories were great and an overall knowledgable person.

GREAT PROFESSOR and overall cool human. Easy class in terms of tests (3) one being the final (not cumulative). Two, two-page essays and two FEMA assignments. Don't have to attend lectures but wanted to because of his experience in the field with great stories and overall the course material intriguing (for homeland/CRJS/cyber/EP major).

"I put it in the syllabus" at least 10 times a class, he has you make a research proposal and work through it throughout the semester. Last 2 assignments are going to be minimum 4-6 pages but the last assignment will be closer to 10-13.

3 exams which are easy as long as you go through the study guide at least 3 times before the test. I would aim for 15/20 or above on exams. 2 easy papers that are minimum 2 pages each follow instructions and youll get an A on them. FEMA studys which are easy. Lastly, 20 extra credit points on top of your final grade are up for grabs.

My favorite class so far at UAlbany. Gives so much extra credit that no matter if you dont do great on the exams (3) you will pass. Theres 2 papers & 3 exams, but attendance isnt mandatory the papers are based on articles he posts on bb which you can skim. The extra credits are FEMA tests which the answers are online. Honestly an easy A.
