Reviews of professor William Riley

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
The first two papers were easy to write, and the last one took too much time. There is a midterm which is in person, with no notes. The final can be submitted online, or taken in person. 3 books focused on the essays, with the textbook. The midterm/final was mainly the textbook. TAs were okay, the workshops were helpful. Attendance is worth a lot.

Lectures felt long and boring. there are 3 papers total with extremely broad topics so it was hard to write.

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
He does not assign any homework at all, primarily based off of midterm and final exam. He is extremely passionate about political thought and is super sweet and understanding. If you do the reading it should be an easy class.

You need the two textbooks in order to understand the material. Read each chapter a few times, come to class every day, and submit the labs whenever you're stuck! Professor Riley give AMAZING feedback to help you with anything you're struggling with. He'll tell you what to do instead of show you how it's done or what the answer is. Amazing overall!
