Reviews of professor Michael Ridlen

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Ridlen is a really nice dude! His lectures are a bit all over the place, but I feel just listening and trying to take notes is enough and he's always open to questions and tries his best to answer them. I will say he takes a long time to grade stuff, but he doesn't grade harshly. He also doesn't explain projects sometimes, but just gotta ask.

I love Trey! He makes classes fun while also successfully outputting information in a clear way. There are some essays but they're pretty straightforward and he is always willing to help reduce confusion.

Lots of writing; class moved online in March 2020. Expects everyone to have the latest technology to do online video feed classes; def needed the text book to complete this semester. Will accuse you of plagiarism quickly, be prepared to call him on it and have your ducks lined up. Decent class, but skipped a lot of good info. on the subject.

He knows a lot about art and art history but was I found it very hard to keep an A in the class because of how hard he graded and unclear directions. I would take him if youre an art major but not just for a fine art credit. He was also late to class almost every day.

has no tests, for that reason, it is extremely useless to even go to class or take notes. He lectures the entire time and it is uninteresting. He gives about 6 projects throughout the entire semester which are not explained well at all. He will require both MLA and APA style citations in one project and only give instructions for one. unorganized
