Reviews of professor Jourdain Richter

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
This instructor is very inorganized! Everything must be in APA format! Never replies to emails. Had to track down another instructor in the same department for him to respond to my emails. Which he never did. Please make friends on the first day in class exchange contacts info. Do not take his class if you do not have to!

Took him for AJS265 online. Rarely, if ever, responded to emails.. His rare emails were incoherent and poorly written. He mixed up the class end dates by 3 weeks. So much information in the class was missing and he never fixed it. Only passed with the help of classmates. Save yourself the stress and find a different teacher.

He wanted a paper every single week on very difficult topics. Took up to 96 hours to reply to emails. Papers were not graded within three weeks of being turned in by the due date. The textbook was easy and so were the quizzes. I would not take it again because of the incredible amount of homework. The workload was easily that of 2 normal class

Professor takes a while to get in contact with. APA heavy papers and discussion questions.

I don't know why so many are mad about Richter. His papers ARE EASY! You just copy and paste as many citations as you want to get a 100, just make sure you use APA format (there is a doc on google docs for it). He does take forever to grade, but keep with it and you'll get an A. He's a slow grader, but tons of experience in criminology!

I have never had a professor so unorganized. He didn't show up on the first day of class, mind you, this is a once a week 8-week class. Does not answer questions. DOES NOT ANSWER EMAILS!!! Beware, must be self-reliant and make friends in class immediately for your benefit. Not a bad person, just the organization and timeliness I cannot get behind.
