Reviews of professor Richard Clark

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Relaxed lecturer, quite relaxed in general. Lectures were typically thought provoking and covered all material on the tests. Did not impose his own beliefs on the class. Forgiving grader. If you read the textbook and want to learn Philosophy you will score well.

Took as online class. Very straight forward with what needs to be done. Discussion and quiz every week along with one essay as a midterm. Fairly easy class as long as you do the work.

I really enjoyed this class; keep in mind that it was heavy in applying computer coding to genomics-based problems.Tests were difficult, but fair, and Richard listened to feedback about shortening exams since we were crunched for time. He curved the class when scores were lower than expected, and respected our input. He cares and is very supportive

I really loved this class! His expectations and lectures are very clear. EVERYTHING that is on his tests come straight from the lecture slides and his study guide, so you don't have to worry about writing down everything he says. He is a really fair grader, and if you go to his reviews he will answer all your questions.

He's nice, but his class is kind of disorganized and his lectures are SO BORING. I thought his problem sets (2 of them) and tests were hard. I went to his reviews and came out more confused going in. Hard to set up times to meet with him or his TA. I'm an all A student, but I definitely did not have a shot at getting an A here.

Dr. Clark is a sweetheart. He hates tests as much as you, so that's why there are two midterms (1 is dropped) and one final. Literature discussions are huge, but you do it in a group and he helps you so it's super low stress. You definitely should go to class because it's a lot easier to understand the slides with his commentary. He grades kindly!
