Reviews of professor Michael Rich

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Rich doesn't care too much about attendance, but you do need to be there during the lecture days. Pretty standard upper level class: occasional dense readings that you only have to read closely if you're writing a paper on them. I took Pols 369 Public Policy Analysis. Lectures are dry and dull but he knows him stuff and grades fairly.

Most knowledgeable and approachable professor I have ever had. Clearly cares about what he teaches

His lectures are SO dry. You prolly haven't taken a class as dry as his, so please take caution if you get bored easily! However, he's super knowledgeable. Behind the scenes he's quite the character too. Getting an A is doable. It was my first polisci class ever and I got an A- so I was pretty pleased.

There are not very many assignments, so each assignment is worth its weight in gold. However, he's an incredible lecturer and has a lot of interesting projects that are nonstandard and fun. He is very particular about grading essays.
