Reviews of professor Frederick Snider

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Fred is a great guy but he does not know how to use the zoom format. I could not speak on for when the class is in person but it was just a complete mess. The videos he plays are all choppy because of zoom and he accidentally deleted his class the other day so there is that.

Easy A. Snider is knowledgeable in music but has trouble with technology. Ask any question and he'll tell you to look at the syllabus even if the answer isn't there. Did everything in his power to shift blame when things went wrong with ProctorU or the final paper to technology or the students rather than himself for not explaining things clearly.

He is a really fun professor. The history of rock is a very fascinating course. The grade is made up of exams and a research paper. The syllabus is really helpful in studying for the exams.

This class changed my entire perception of United States History. Snider doesn't just explain the history of famous bands and musicians, but explains the often overlooked social, and cultural factors that influenced them. Snider is very straight forward with his directions, and if you follow them you'll have no problem getting an A.

Richard is rude and aggressive towards his students. Gives 50 question tests with only 30 minutes to complete. Does not post PowerPoints or resources do review. Is harsh and rude when you try to talk or discuss something you are concerned about. Screamed at students for finishing tests 1 minute late.

While Frederick Snider's class should be fun and interesting based on the material, he is very unhelpful. I have never taken a class that was taught so terribly. He has a negative attitude towards students, is extremely unorganized, and does not care if you fail his class. I would strongly recommend taking this class online instead.

Snider was an awesome educator to have for my first college class- but be warned that he doesn't take any BS and says it like it is. There's a ton of note taking, all of which will be important for the tests- and the tests for my class were once a week. He will tell you if something he's talking about will be on the test. Highly recommend, 10/10.

DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR. He tries to act like he is a super easy teacher, but he is not. There are no extra credit opportunities or curved exams. To get an A, I needed a 465 and got a 464. I have gotten straight A's since middle school. He was deceitful in saying his class was one of the easiest at WSU when it is clearly not. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

Honestly, if you memorize the syllabus before each test, you'd be golden. The lecture goes deeper into it, but none of that is on the exams. The exams are the majority of the grade (like 90%) so it's up to you if it's worth it. I'm about to start the last week of class and we haven't had a single in class assignment yet, either, so...
