Reviews of professor Shawn Ridlen

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Ridlen is one of the best professors I've ever had. He's very caring and doesn't mind answering endless questions. Exams are not very hard if you study. Take him, you won't regret it.

I took his CHEM1411 class online and actually learned the material. What's in the homework is what's on the tests. He gives easy extra credit questions on each exam, curves grades, and is happy to give homework extensions or a makeup test. He answers his emails promptly and is very nice. I'm taking him again next semester.

I really liked this teacher. I had him for a short summer and he was perfect for that. Really understand that we all were working and crunching. Learned a lot and had fun in this class and lab. I would recommend him. Wish I had him for Chem1412

He is very nice with the students. Anytime a question is asked he will take his time answering and making sure that the student understands. He is very chill compared to other professors. He is a very good professor.

Took Chem 1 and 2 with Dr. Ridlen. He has the online thing down to a tee! Curriculum is well structured and simple to understand. He moved due dates around quite a bit to accommodate students who were impacted by the winter weather event. His lectures are pre-recorded and available on YouTube for easy access. Very good at explaining things. A+

Dr. Ridlen is a caring professor. If you read the textbook he recommends you, you should be fine. Make sure to read the lab manual before lab because he gives a lab quiz right when lab starts. Make sure to get sapling homework going so you don't have too much piled up in the end. He allows test corrections. He is willing to help if you need it!

Great professor! I absolutely recommend him for chem 2. He explains the material very well and is open to clarifying any questions. Hes very knowledgeable and cares about his students understanding the material. Dont be afraid to ask questions or ask him for help! Study and youll do fine! Tests are very fair
