Reviews of professor Jonathan Richler

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
A tip: if you prepare for the lectures, as he suggests, and stay updated on current events/politics you'll get so much out of this class, and won't mind going off topic for an entire class!

I feel bad because he was a nice guy and was funny, but I don't feel he was good at teaching. Things discussed in class were never on the quizzes or midterm. Lectures were often off topic and if you have no prior knowledge to anything about politics or government; good luck.

Jonathan's lectures are so interesting as he often relates concepts that you are learning about in class to current events throughout the world. You have to put the effort in to do well but I think he is a very fair grader and one of the easiest profs to talk to outside the classroom whether it be an issue or just to chat about politics.

Jonathan Richler is a very caring professor, he wants you to do well but is tough on you. He is an extremely hard grader, as a Political Science major I have gotten used to writing papers but he was very harsh on critiques and scored me very low. Great guy but don't skip class and get ready to work your ass off.

Amazing prof, lectures are not mandatory but I reccomend just by how great of a prof he is, very approachable and knows what he's talking about! Easy A

Excellent Prof and was one of the two profs in the department that inspired me to make this my minor. You should be prepared to read the text but the notes can suffice most of the time. Hes a funny yet serious prof who wants everyone to do well you just need to give some effort. Was graded very well on his assesments and he seems like a fair marker

Jonathan is a great prof, he is very knowledgeable and comfortable teaching. Lectures closer to a seminar style, very laid back, encourages a lot of discussion, and doesn't solely teach from the slides which I enjoy. Barely read the book as it was very basic (we're talking high school knowledge in my opinion). Definitely not a challenging course.
