Reviews of professor Ivan Rios

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Professor Rios cares about his students, unlike other professors he will do anything to help you out with assignments or questions. I took his class in fall semester of 2019 and it was a very very tough class to pass. Yes, this professor is really hard to pass because he expects to give it your all, and also because its a critical thinking class.

My only difficulty with this class was the essays. It felt like I was taking history. Writing about police brutally and the racism throughout our history. He is a tough grader when it comes to writing. I felt like I was unable to be myself on the essays. If you like politics then take him, if not be prepared to believe what he says too.

Most unorganized professor I have ever taken. Has last minute deadlines (often gave us less than a week's notice that a paper was due). Expects a lot of work and drafts for papers last minute, forgets that students have other classes. Has pop quizzes nearly every class for the readings and sometimes starts them before class even starts... 0/5 BAD.

He's one of the most unorganized professors I have ever taken. He assigns a ton of readings & expects you to remember everything the next day. There are also daily quizzes and discussions. His lectures are confusing as well as the instructions he provides. One good thing is he gives different prompts for one essay, but the instructions are so vague
