Reviews of professor Sean Richmond

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Not interesting in the least. Monotone voice. Took course online and sent multiple emails without getting a single reply. DO NOT TAKE. Asked questions on final exam that were not useful nor gave the opportunity to demonstrate understanding. I am a TA for another faculty and was disgusted by the wait time and lack of feedback received on midterm.

Sean is a knowledgeable and very caring teacher but a bit monotone at times. LAWS 2601 was interesting and the guest speakers were great, but the lectures themselves fell flat. Read the textbook and you should do very well.

Really smart and is passionate about law. He is a nice guy and cares about his students. However, his lectures can become boring.

I had him last semester for public international law and the course was fair. Yeah, he's monotone but if you take the time to go to his office hours you can tell that he actually wants to help you and will do his best to do so. If you don't do the readings or and the reading quizzes you will not do well. Those are exam questions.

Sean is someone you can always email to answer questions, always meet up with, and will greet you with a smile. Sure monotone, but is very passionate for law. His guest speakers were awesome, and the essay and exam were extremely fair, the exam consisted of minimal textbook (really, just go to class.) Wouldn't take again, but glad I did take it.

nice enough guy but lectures are very long, unorganized, and hard to sit through, doesn't follow his own slides at all, grades on a curve so essay grades were constantly being brought down for no reason even when TAs said nothing could be improved, final exam and quizzes were extremely easy

He's very monotone and lectures are extremely boring. Slides aren't overly helpful. 40% take home mid-term was beyond stressful, I did however end up getting a 90%. The exam is worth 60% (50 MC worth 1 mark each and 2 short answer). I did terrible on the exam. Went into the exam thinking I was going to get a good grade but got the opposite of that.

I hade Doctor Richmond online. He is a really nice guy who cares about his class well being. Gives you clear criteria of what is useful for future classes and his. Really smart and knows his stuff. However, at times the class can be boring.

This prof is the most inaccessible professor I've ever had to deal with. Got a bad mark on an essay worth 60% - emailed him asking if I could meet with him to look it over and he got back to me 3 weeks after my initial email after I was forced to drop the course. No office hours + never checking his email  hell on earth in course form
