Reviews of professor Ronald Etheridge

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Each exam had a disproportionately large amount of questions that's excessive for a 60 minute exam. His powerpoints will be sufficient to study for the exams, but there's so much material you need to know at a deep level, especially the breakout material. Study questions aren't that helpful. Studying everything in the ppts better use of time.

Dr. Etheridge should be hired by the philosophy dept. Best part of his lectures was when he was not discussing CBIO. He was not bad enough to avoid taking this course, but isn't great enough to take w/o co-professor. He cares about his students and spends SO MUCH time on his powerpoints, but they still sub, sub-par. Tries though, bit inflexible.

Dr. Etheridge is a great professor. He presents difficult concepts in an easy-to-understand way and is very helpful in breakout sessions. His lectures and PowerPoints are sometimes difficult to interpret and obtain useful information from, which can make studying for his sections challenging at times. In any case, really enjoyed him & his sections.

This professor badly needs answer sheets to his practice questions. The tests require full, specific info dumps on question topics and the questions are vague. There is no clear grading criteria ahead of time, and you must use very specific verbiage to get full marks. Breakout sessions and in-class questions do not prepare for how he grades tests.
