The class starts off hard, but it gets a lot easier over time. I dont know why shes rated so low, definitely one of my favorite professors this semester.

Look. Attendance is not mandatory - but there are random participation assignments that you can only get in class. Also, there is ONE midterm worth 25% after 9 weeks of the class. It is NOT hard. If you do the assignments and the SHORT readings.. studying for her. midterm is just reviewing the slides and jogging your memory. She is very nice too

Not an easy IB course. There is a lot on homework that really only counts for about 5 points. Participation matters, like it really matters . If you don't like classes where you have to speak out and share your opinion I would not take her class. Honestly the material is helpful, but Professor Rittenhouse makes the course harder than it should be

Super friendly and is a great person to go to for advice about getting connected or anything at all. This class helped prepare me for my next years in the business college and was super helpful. The course and prof aren't very demanding, as long as you complete the assignments and show up to class it's an easy A. She gives extra credit too.

Prof Rittenhouse wasn't a horrible teacher at all. She's very kind, and helpful if you need it. That being said, there is a ton of homework in 472--mostly analyses of articles that are 40 pages. Attendance and participation are a huge portion of your grade. The assignments were a small portion of your final grade. Do the extra credit assignments.

She was nice and her heart is in the right place, but at lot of assignments that she assigned in this course was very unnecessary. She is a tough grader, but she will give you valuable feedback. I would take her again. I ended up doing well in the class.
