Reviews of professor Richard Stringer

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Taking this class for online summer class. He gives us 3 or 4 articles to read that are 27 pages long (every single of them). 1 quiz per module, his lectures don't make sense since he babbles in the background. His class is more of a memorization than learning. I won't remember a single thing I learned from his class. Please don't take him online.

He is a cool person and he likes to talk and crack jokes, which honestly isn't terrible. There are no PowerPoints and he says, "Pay attention to what we are talking about because it might be on your test." Attendance isn't mandatory but if you don't go and pay attention then you WILL FAIL. READ THE TEXTBOOK!!!!

I took him for summer class and his tests are 30+ questions, but 55+% of your grade on those tests is dependent on 3 essay questions, where you are expected to write 2 paragraphs and cite your sources, all while on a lockdown browser. In addition to harshly grading a final research paper at the end of the semester.

Dr. Stringer is cool. He gets off topic a lot but that does not make him a horrible professor. Make sure you get the book and come to class because a lot of what you hear in class and read out the the textbook will be on your test.

All you have to do is show up consistently and talk to him. If you can manage that you'll do fine. His tests are kinda annoying, but just study the textbook as much as you can. I got Cs on the tests but an A in the class because I got perfect scores on the paper and participation. Second time taking him and would take a third if I could.

Intentionally makes exams extremely difficult and then curves the grade at the end of the semester. No study guides, lectures aren't really helpful for exams.

However, professor really cares about his class and obviously enjoys teaching his subject.

There is no textbook for this class, but honestly I would have preferred one. He assigns multiple journal articles a week to read and most of them were very lengthy and hard to keep up with while taking 4 other classes. The tests and weekly quizzes were lockdown and the questions asked for VERY specific. Made the class harder than it needed to be.

Stringer is very animated about what he teaches. This is my second time taking him because I really enjoyed him the first time. The material is very difficult but he will go over things we don't understand and gives very good feedback.

Ok so here's the thing, prof stringer is a really nice guy and likes to joke around in class however he is not the best at posting things to d2l and making deadlines and assignments clear. so if u don't go to class u will prob not do well. I also don't really get how his grading does not match his laid back attitude in class. he grades HARD!
