Reviews of professor Ryan Hansen

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
ESS 205 discusses the inner workings of an intramural program. Brother Hansen gives you 1st hand experience being involved with the intramural program. There's 24 hours required of volunteer work, if you do additional hours you can get up to 52 hours and then not have to take the final exam. I managed to get the hours required in the first 6 weeks.

I took the class thinking that we would only play sports and that it would be a good break from my core classes, but there were group projects, papers, and quizzes. We also had to volunteer 25 hours for the college intramural sports which was really difficult and was frustrating because you weren't able to actually play in the college games.

If you're looking for an easy A elective, don't take this class. He barely teaches and then the exams are impossible to do well on closed book. Plus, all exams are taken in class through a quizlet-like program. Doesn't take his job seriously. You have to do 30 hours of volunteer work in the gym.

This description for this class is seriously misleading, I took it intending to play sports. The class has a large number of essays and quizzes, which are 2-3 page papers most of the time. The professor is nice and means well, but the it just ends up being more of an English class, and way more stress than most intend.

He's fun and mixes things up a lot. The beginning of the semester was really fun but then toward the end, it wasn't quite as fun. He likes to laugh with the students and have a good time. When it comes to the work in the class, it's hard to follow a schedule, the classwork seems so random. Overall it's a fun class if you like sports though.

This class is nothing like you would expect, its more of an english class with a lab. He has you write 2-3 page papers on things we hadn't really talked about. He rarely mentions when you have a quiz or what its on, you have to figure it out on your own, same with the assignments. He's a great guy and means well, but don't expect an easy A.

Doesnt teach or explain what material we need to know but expects us to know it all anyways. If you miss field trips (even with good excuses) you have to write 10 page papers and he puts information on the final from the field trip that people who didnt go wouldnt know

Brother Hansen is an amazing teacher for the intramurals course. He makes sure we know what is coming up that we have to do and he makes sure we have all we need to succeed. The final was interesting because you have to know the names of all the people in the class.
