Reviews of professor Andrew Rivers

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
He is by far the best psyc professor I have. AMAZING. He is a great lecturer and shows genuine interest in helping his students to success in this mandatory stat course.

He made lecture interesting by showing us videos and connecting concepts to our lives. Though, there is ALOT to memorize as he puts material from both the textbook and his lectures in his exams. Otherwise, he was always passionate, kind and gentle prof that I enjoyed having this term.

If you have the opportunity to take ANY class with Dr. Rivers do it! Absolutely phenomenal guy and phenomenal teacher very down to earth and caring about students who put the effort in. Lectures and slides were very complimentary and ultimately felt like a class you can genuinely enjoy learning in!

Rivers is great! Be sure to do the readings because midterms are full of material only covered in readings. He offers lots of opportunities to improve your grade and genuinely cares about students.

Andrew is a great professor who cares about his students. Midterms require textbook readings, but recorded lectures and posted slides simplify the process. Small assignments are given to boost grades. It is recommended to attend lectures and read the material in order to succeed.

Both midterms and final exam were MC. Textbook reading is pretty important for those exams. Scope of both midterms were pretty fair and manageable. Great lectures and the other projects were fun and not too tricky. Great professor and inspirational as well.

He's great, lectures were useful. The only thing I'veto complain about is the weight of exams. We only had 1 midterm worth almost 30% and final almost 50% that were long. A bunch of assignments that boost your grade if you do them but they are not that worthy unless you complete all of them. I wish we had practice exams. Nice prof, heavy exams.

The course itself is challenging but Prof. Rivers made it doable and enjoyable (sometimes). He records lectures & is very accessible to students. The course is graded on many components & you don't HAVE to read the textbook but it helps with understanding concepts. Watch the lectures and ask questions, you'll be fine. Prof. is caring & awesome.

Andrew is so kind and caring and he is one of those professors that you can tell genuinely enjoys his job. He is very organized, good at explaining topics, and wants the best for all his students. Some people think he is a little boring but I disagree. Exams are tough with super specific questions but not awful.
