Reviews of professor Michael Rich

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I took this class because I was genuinely interested in the topics. However, this has been one of the driest lectures in my entire college carrier ( I am a senior). So much material is dumped on you per lecture that you either can't keep up or you have to put in way more effort than your actual core classes. Do not recommend him as a professor.

Not the easiest class, but not too hard and was one of my most important classes in hindsight. Prof Rich is super passionate about the work and cares a lot about his students. Such a smart guy and easy to talk to. You study a lot of really interesting case studies in the class and work on some interesting hands-on projects. Do the CBSC fellowship!

This class is required for the CBSC fellowship but is INCREDIBLY dry & theory heavy; papers were pretty difficult to write but go to office hours and MR will give you the answers/help you. MR cares a lot about his students and is very approachable outside of class. Rubrics are clear but topics can be difficult to understand, especially at first.
