Reviews of professor Bernard Richter

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
I would not recommend this class to anyone ever - but especially if you are neurodivergent, disabled so on STAY AWAY. I read these reviews thinking to myself "I am a smart, dedicated, high gpa student- surely it cannot be so bad". It is that bad, frankly he is doing stuff thats not legal. Run for the hills before you take this dude as a professor.

When it came to Mr. Richter he assigned a lot of meaningless papers that we had to over write on. Countless boring books were assigned in class for us to read, including one about a boring feminist. At the end of the semester he freaked out on a student for innocently multitasking on her laptop when he allows students to do this all the time.

All I have to say is, don't do it, unless you really want to be a journalist, this guy is unnecessarily tough, and his assignments are questionable. I admit that he is flexible with due dates with full class consensus, but that's it. His one on one meet ups hardly helped, even though he basically wrote half my paper sometimes, could have been worse

He is not a kind grader. His lectures are very boring, he clearly likes to hear himself talk. These "lectures" are mandatory but often pointless. Very few assignments, so work hard on your essays. Very slow grader, makes lots of excuses for it. Take someone else if you can. We also had  "in class writes" you couldn't use notes on so be prepared!

Try to avoid getting this professor. He grades unnecessarily hard. Its a GE class we all dont want to be journalists. You have to go to class or you wont pass. Multiple of the paper topics are very irrelevant and boring.

Grades really hard even after saying your work is good. Says that people rarely get As and that As show outstanding work. Only good is that he is understanding on late work.

Uses his teaching platform to spew his liberal rhetoric, spends most of class every day talking about current events as opposed to actually teaching writing. His blatant disregard for other view points. One of the worst teachers I have ever had, if you can avoid this man I would.

Will voice his political opinions. Grades hard, even after praising your work during class or office hours. Don't be late to class or he will humiliate you.
