Reviews of professor Kerry Riley

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
She is a great Professor. I've never liked science and she made the class really fun and all of the content was easy to understand. She did often cancel class though and your grade is entirely reliant on how well you do on the exams.

Dr. Riley was a good teacher. I took them as an online class and the assignments for the week were always made clear. I do think she's a tough grader especially for her concept maps. Other than that her tests were straight out of the book and you can also find more resources online if needed.

This professor clearly did not put an ounce of effort into her learning material. week 2 in the semester a PowerPoint for an online class was poorly put together. There was an irrelevant slide that was marked to be deleted, it had a total of 60 slides however every 3rd slide or so was a duplicate. It could have been cut in half to 30-35.

Overall, I loved Prof. Riley. At first, she was kind of scattered, but as long as you show up to class regularly and memorize the terminology, you'll be just fine. I'm a B-C average student, and it was relatively easy to earn a B in her class. She's super entertaining, and lectures are never boring.

She lectures with some in class assignments. Grades are many based on a quiz each week, test and concept maps that interact with units. She gives study guides in which test questions come directly from. She is willing to reopen any missed quizzes, give multiple tries and feedback if you email or meet. Lots of opportunity to get a good grade.

This professor's online Oceanography class was great.  You do the reading and take tests.  An occasional discussion post and 4 concept maps.  It is at your own pace.  The concept maps, if you make a mistake she will let you fix them until you get them right.  If you are a self starter, take this class.  It is interesting and not hard at all.
