Reviews of professor Christopher Rorden

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Professor Rorden was the hardest professor I have ever had at USC. I do not know if it was because of covid but this class was the worst class I've had at school. He didn't give us any exams just assignments that were incredibly difficult. Each assignment would take me hours on end to finish. He also wasn't clear when answering questions in class.

Do NOT take this class! Might be different during non-COVID times, but this was the worst psych class I've taken so far. Rorden is not a terrible professor, but the homework was a nightmare. 7 homework, no exams, and each assignment took me over 10 hours to complete. He does not go over the material on it so it's all your own research. Terrible!

Professor Rorden and Rodger are both fantastic! They switch off every other class and review what each one taught so if one professor doesn't explain it in a way you understand the other will. The class is graded almost entirely on the Quizzes, and you never know exactly what day they're on. But they do allow makeups. Also lots of extra credit.

Professor Rorden and Professor Rodger are both really inspiring teachers! You will have two teachers for this course and they both switch teaching on different days , while both having to experience different teaching techniques from both of them. Both professors together make a great team and I will always remember their class and teachings!

Tests are more about learning than bs memorization which makes this class so fun.

The class itself isnt bad if it was taught by someone elseavoid him as much as possible. Hes not the best when it comes to lectures. He expects so much from students but does so little. Hes a sneaky professor if you dont call him out on his actions. Good luck.
