Reviews of professor Scott Ritner

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Prof. Ritner is an amazing professor who really knows what he is talking about. The work consisted of option based reflection 1 or 3 page papers in response to a reading. The readings were very interesting and thought-provoking. The biggest plus is that he lets you turn in papers late without any penalty.

Dr. Ritner is my favorite professor at Temple. He is the most caring, and funny professor I have ever had. He cares about you as a person and does whatever he can to be accessible.

I think Prof Ritner is a very understanding and sympathetic person, which definitely comes out in his teaching style. I was enrolled in his class during the COVID19 pandemic and he was by far the most understanding prof I had during that time. He himself is a very busy person and knows that we have lives outside of his class. Highly recommend

was his first time teaching Politics of Identity in America, a lot of readings every week but the lectures weren't too bad to sit through. Very knowledgeable on many topics in politics. 1-2 page essay on the readings every week and then a 5-7 page final paper.

Dr. Ritners my guy. Understanding, empathetic, dedicated  always reminded us that our physical and mental health came before school. Even with that, he was still offering thought provoking analysis and really made you push and question your thought processes. Hes funny and honest and everything youd want in a professor.

Dr. Ritner is my favorite professor I have ever taken. He cares SO MUCH about his students, especially during covid and everything. The work load is mostly just a lot of reading, but its all so interesting. He makes class so fun, and even with a small class, everyone is engaged. What we learn is so relevant and interesting. He is the best TAKE HIM!

At the beginning of class, he seemed stiff and uncomfortable. The first essay was also the only grade that we had halfway in and he's a tough grader. Professor Ritner eventually became more comfortable and the classes became more enjoyable. The class is based off of three essays, one outline and a final but he gives extra credit.

Dr. Ritner is so knowledgeable in his field! He seems intimidating at first but if you pay attention and follow along you'll be really engaged in his lectures since he doesn't drone on. His essays are hard but he gives really good feedback if you go to his office hours. I'm taking him again next semester! Definitely recommend.
