Reviews of professor Otto Richter

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Very rude and disrespectful professor. Dr Richter likes to bring his political rants to class. First day of class was mostly a political rant regarding Covid and Americans valuing freedom over "safety." It comes off that Dr. Richter is very anti-American. Dr. Richter did not assist in the lab course I took - had to rely on TA for everything

All I can say is don't take this class unless you absolutely have to. He gives a lot of assignments not only on canvas but also on an outside website and gives no feedback or reasoning as to why you were given the grade you were. He grades purely on his opinion, not on a rubric. He loves to go on political rants and bashes all other opinions.

Worst physics professor I've ever had. Dude cannot answer anyone's questions in class and doesn't seem to have a good understanding of the material. He grades assignments so hard and doesn't provide any feedback. I don't understand why he chose to teach because he clearly does not care about his students or their education.

He was very rude and expected you to know as much as he did. Granted, I didn't read as much as I should've, mostly because I was busy taking notes that should've been helping but they don't. Most of what he says is babble and he goes on political rants frequently. He says to ask for help but scolds when you do. He can't see from other perspectives

Had Dr. Richter for an online Intro. to Astronomy class, and boy, was it a nightmare. He does not give feedback on much of his grading, his quiz questions are worded very ambiguously, and, to top it off, he is jaw-droppingly rude to his students. This class was just MasteringAstronomy with occasional input from a condescending, unapproachable prof.

If you're thinking about taking this class, don't!!! The professor likes to go off on political rants and belittle anything he doesn't agree with. I withdrew from this class after the first day of lecture due to his arrogance. Wish I could talk more about the course material, but I didn't stick around long enough to even give it a go.

Doesn't teach and doesn't make the class enjoyable, resulting to boring self-studying session. As a professor, it's your job to educate students. If you're unapproachable and unhelpful, you're not doing your teaching duties. Stay away from him as much as possible.

Easily the worst instructor I've ever had. He doesn't seem to care about his students or if they've understood his material. He's also very rude and never seemed approachable. Undetailed, boring lectures which are broken up unnecessary tangents which can easily go on for 10+ minutes. He cares a lot about the subject matter, but not about teaching.
