Reviews of professor Lawrence Rudiger

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Lectures are not good preparation for exams. Barely anything was ever covered in class. Online activities and readings were most helpful. Great Guy, but would recommend taking this course online instead.

As long as you manage your time well and respect the deadlines this class is an easy A. There are 33 quizzes to do throughout the semester that you can take as many times as you need, and one project.

Nice/funny guy, lectures are boring and surface level. I went to class one time the entire semester and completed all of the course work by early November. Easy A as long as you don't get behind on quizzes. No exams, just quizzes and one project. Not a super useful or informative class but it was required for my major and was a nice coasting class

Throughout the semester I sent his emails talking about different quiz answers I thought were incorrect. Instead of giving me an answer as to why they were correct, he was incredibly condescending and rude. His. responses to any questions tend to be egotistical and not helpful.

Professor Rudiger is a great professor. As long as you stay on top of the reading and Blackboard tests you will be fine. You can take the tests as many times as you want so you can basically guarantee an A in the class if you put the effort in. He's also just a great guy and kind of funny when he talks about his cats.

I actually like Larry but please only take his upper level classes if you are okay with a disorganized environment. He goes with the flow and expects you to work in small groups assigned at the beginning of the semester. We pretty much just chat and work on our assignments. The most frustrating aspect is that people love to complain about him.

I had no problem with Prof Rudiger but I hated the class. It is completely self paced and if you procrastinate don't take it because you will get so behind.

Attendance is not mandatory. He is a super nice guy. There are 33 quizzes - all done online. Taken as many times as necessary until you earn a passing grade. One small paper due at the end. No final exam. If you are looking for an easy class to boost your GPA - take this class. Class can be completed early. Advice - do not fall behind on quizzes!

Lectures were useless. Would not have gone if it weren't for iclicker points. You have to teach yourself outside of class with the online textbook. You learn nothing helpful in the lecture. The only good thing is the opportunity to retake exams you did poorly on at the end.
