Reviews of professor Erik Riverson

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Erik Riverson is awesome! He cares about his students and is responsive to emails. He's very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the material and he makes the classes interesting. The course material isn't always easy, but he makes an effort to promote understanding. Really happy I took this class an would definitely take him again.

He gives quizzes for every chapter before he lectures and they are super short. He doesn't give any type of study guide. His class is so pointless and he's constantly giving us busy work he barely teaches and when he does he rushes through them and you can barely understand him.

we had a quiz every week, which was difficult. U have to read long chapters and even when u read the quiz was hard. he dosent give a study guide for the midterm or final, most of the class failed it. He tried to give us extra credit but i think he just neeeds to change his teaching style because i barely learned

Three hour class that can be done in 15 mins. The professor skips over the slides, which I could be doing at home. Papers are simple but he is a tough grader for no reason. Does not provide constructive criticism for you to do better on the next paper. Asks questions about your opinion, however if it is against his opinion then you are wrong.

Teaching is clearly not his passion. Not the worst but could be way better. If you have another option, take it.

Prof Riverson is a good professor, you have to READ to pass his tests and quizzes, if you read you will succeed. He barely lectures and no study guides so you must read. On the good side he gave a paper and just decided to give us all 100's. I would take him again

If you're not there by the end of attendance, then you're marked absent. Told the class "I don't even like children, I'm just teaching this course for the money, which is only about 3k", He didn't write the course study was no help for questions we had on Mid Term & Final. He provided no study guide to help prepare for exams. Good person, bad teach
