Reviews of professor Ryan Guthridge

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Fairly easy, study the lecture slides and you will pass the block exams. Blocks 2 and 4 are more difficult. I knew many people who took Liang instead and have had a more difficult time. The final contains questions from the previous block exams. His other reviews do not represent him, he is a great professor.

Not sure why he has gotten bad reviews bc Guthridge is the man. He makes classes interesting and usually includes a fun class wide Jeopardy before all the block exams to help the info stick better. Honestly an awesome guy and I hope to be in his class again soon.

Nice guy, and his classes are easy. Pay attention to the content and you'll be fine. He accepts late work and is very nice about absences. Super friendly, and his tests aren't hard at all. He says there will be pop quizzes but we didnt' have any at all.

Grading criteria is unclear. I heard that he has changed his tests and grading from when I took his class(fall 2018). When you'd bring things up that he was wrong about, he argues with you and won't admit to being wrong even if you show him hard proof. A majority of our class almost failed.. that's a representation of the prof. not the students.

Goated Professor. Not sure why there are bad reviews in the past. He has been one of my favorite professors I have had at UND. Really funny guy and creates a great learning environment for students. We played jeopardy before every block exam and it made the class very enjoyable and we got to know our classmates well. Highly recommend.

Ryan Guthridge is by far one of the best instructors at UND. He is super nice and cares about his students academically but also personally

I took 208 online. Discussion boards and video lectures/quizzes make up most of the content. Textbook is required for the final project. The textbook itself was written by Guthridge and it was hard to stomach $60 for an ebook written by the professor himself, and that was only used for the final project. Lectures were boring but it was an easy A.

If you read past comments about Professor Guthridge, they are very negative. My class had a completely different experience with him. He has completely changed his style of teaching and the format of his class (AVIT414 that is). Each class was engaging and enjoyable. Do not let past comments force you to pick a different professor. Great class.

You have to go to class because of the FAA rules, but I know a couple of people who got away with not going and not having to make it up. He let us take every test at home. He also gave us extra credit on almost every test after playing jeopardy. He is really understanding and funny. He also lets out early almost every day.
