Reviews of professor Michael Riojas

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
This class does not allow you to free write but rather write robotically. You have to follow EXACTLY what the book says in order to receive an A. If you know that, it is not hard to get an A really. Seriously, that is what he wants. He's an ok professor, I think it's the class itself that requires him to teach and gives homework the way he does.

He was okay in the beginning, gave a lot of papers in which some seemed pointless. Went straight from the book. However, towards the end, he turned into such a rude teacher. He never replies to emails, and it often takes more than once to get a response. I do not recommend taking this teacher at all because he was very unprofessional in the end.

He gives you a lot of work but never has enough time to grade. He grades the rough drafts after the final paper is due and expects you to make specific changes even though he doesnt tell you until after the paper is due. Would not recommend at all.

He is very chill. I am currently in his eng 1302 class. There are a bunch of papers but if you do them you'll be fine. He even lets you go early.

Mr Riojas is a great professor. He likes to make some jokes during class to make it more fun. He is an easy grader as long as you follow the topic. Attendance isn't required, but for days that we have peer reviews we have to be there. An easy A as long as you do the essays. He has a great personality, I recommend this class!

He provides very good feedback on essays. He is a little nitpicky about certain things but if you talk to him, he tells you what he is looking for and how to fix certain things. Overall, good professor, easy A.
