Reviews of professor Tristan Riesen

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
He is a great Professor and he cares about his class truly. He has inspired me to even change my major and I suggest him heavily. He does make you write a 10-12 page paper at the end but he also teaches you how to budget your time and gives you a good outline of where to start. Overall I'd heavily suggest him as a first english teacher in college!!

Best English professor I've had. The class is engaging and interesting. Attendance is mandatory, nightly homework is 25% of grade, and three essays make up the other 75%. He's not a hard grader if you just put effort into the essays. (homework is competition grade). Literally best teacher wanted him again for 102, just didn't fit my schedule.

You have a journal to do before each class, his grading is very class & his class is very basic and easy. your final is a 10-12 page paper, but he gives plenty of time to work on it & will give you feedback when needed to help prove. definitely recommend for an easy class

Mr. Riesen is one of the best English teachers I've ever had. He makes class interesting, teaches you research skills, and helps you improve your writing. He's accessible out of class and even worked with me when I had a freak emergency the morning a big paper was due. While the work can be hard, he makes sure everyone has the chance at an A.

I love Tristen. He's so caring and nice and actually cares about you. We have one 10 page paper that is your whole grade and then a journal due before every class. Take him!

Super nice guy that is very helpful. Very well laid out class and easy grading. As long as you do the work you will get a great grade. Even though it is not hard to succeed in this class you still learn a-lot of skills. Overall great guy and teacher.

My favorite professor this semester. Really cared about all of his students and took the time to get to know us. The course had few assignments because the main task was a ten page paper due at the end of the semester. He is always available for help outside of class and is very willing to give feedback and help while you are writing your draft.

An amazing professor! Very encouraging and helping and will answer all questions. Not intimidating and makes it a point to be personable with students.

Best professor I've had since being here at UA. So funny and makes the class interesting. The class overall isn't bad at all, you have journals done every time before class so you discuss in class. The hardest thing was the 10-12 page paper but he guides you so well along the well it isn't awful. Highly suggest taking him if you have the chance.
