Reviews of professor Ranjit Riar

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
This class is VERY lecture heavy. Almost 5 hours of lecture. There were days that we would go on trips to the foothills and those were really fun. Class is unorganized, but professor was very lenient and flexible if you communicate with him. This is a review for the Plant 122 class, but I wasn't given the option when writing this review.

To start off, Professor seems like a good person but he left to India for 3 weeks and Assignments are not clear and are graded heavily. Tests are also really difficult and his lectures are not helpful as compared to other professors. Would not recommend, tough grader for lack of quality lecturer

Dr. Riar is an agressive professor. He really wants his students to ask questions and interact with him during the lectures. He is very clear with what he expects from his students. I don't recommend Dr. Riar if you're a student who likes to sit in the back of the class and not interact with your professor. You have to put in the work to pass.

This professor is terrible!! Do not take his class!!! His tests are extremely hard and you do not get a study guide. Mostly fill in the blank tests and questions worth a lot of points. If you aren't in class to hear the lecture or try to review the slides for a test it will NOT help you, his powerpoints give no descriptions and are mostly pictures!

I've had my fair share of professors both within Fresno State and at other schools and Riar is by far the worst. If you can avoid taking this class I would. Left for India for 3 weeks for no reason. Did not give out all required assignments and tests did not follow slides at all.

This guy is a joke out of class for two months decided to teach the class at a graduate level when it is a undergrad course for a reason this is when he decided to come back to tempt to teach. His emails are of the typing skills of a first grader. His tests are waaaayyyyy to hard. take the syllabus and throw it out because he doesn't use it at all

For an intro class this was a hard one! He is a new professor so hopefully his teaching style will improve. The lectures are heavy and he wants you to know everything about everything. The test are long and difficult. He did give us the opportunity for extra credit.

Plant 20, he started the semester by not having class for almost a month because he was stuck somewhere. With him being gone and not being able to teach us he expected us to still know everything by the time he came back. None of the tests were on the study guide he gave us, at one point the whole class was failing. Extremely RUDE, and talked down
