Reviews of professor Michael Ritter

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Professor Ritter is an amazing guy. He's super nice and engaging, lectures can be a bit dry but he's passionate about the subject so he makes it more interesting. Textbooks were interesting and helpful but not necessary. Wants everyone to learn and do the best they can. Graded on participation, quizzes, two exams, and a term paper. Offers extracred

This review is for POLS 404. The class was mainly discussions and weekly quizzes which he lets you take 3 times each. I would say I didnt read much but watched his slide show presentations. Very hard to get email responses from.

Right off the bat, Ritter is a very friendly guy, a bit dry, but nice. I had to miss one of the tests to attend a funeral and he was happy to let me take it later. Tests are very poorly worded, however. Dr. Ritter does provide lots of extra credit and often gave points back on exams, but uses slides too much and talks constantly. Iffy at best.

Professor Ritter is a very nice person, and he is very knowledgeable about all political science related topics. His lectures, however, are extremely boring, and even I found myself wandering during class. I attended class all semester until the last month, when it seemed to me as effective to read the lecture slides as to attend class.
