Reviews of professor Ryan Dean

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Ryan Dean's a PHD candidate I was in his second class. He's a super nice guy and really helped improve my writing skills, he gives great feedback on papers. Lectures can be dry and the attendance rate was very low. I noticed significant improvements throughout the course, although he's still learning there's potential.

If you ever take any of his classes, good luck. He uses powerpoints that have an entire essay worth of info on them and only gives you 5 minutes to write it down. He does lectures on top of the powerpoints so you need to choose on which one is more important. Jump ship or watch your GPA sink

He teaches the course verbally only so no slides at all even on d2l and it is very hard to follow his lecture. Make sure to read the books and listen carefully lol

Textbooks are worth reading, though he is lecture heavy in class the textbook expands on the subjects and his PowerPoint's are good studying tools for midterms and finals. If you miss a class, it's not the end of the world. Actually wants you to succeed, nice to have that in a prof. Good feedback on papers. Accessible outside of class. Good class.

the two reviews below are a joke probably made by the prof himself to boost his moral. Do not take his classes. The textbook is staler than a year old cracker, the classes go at breakneck speed so good luck absorbing it all.

Professor Dean did really well for his first ever lecture at the university. His class was really interesting. I liked how he got the class involved in class discussion. I took his course as a audit and he did really well. I learned so much from him and would recommend him to anyone who wants to take political Science.
