Reviews of professor Kerry Riley

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I took Dr. Riley Geol104 online and really enjoyed it. The quizzes are based on the readings that are done and so are the projects. As long as you read you will pass the class. Gives good feedback on the projects and explains where you missed points.

Dr Riley is chaos. Hectic and confusing lectures, attitude when students question her, unclear project guidelines, little support for student research projects.  She's nice(at first) and clearly smart, but not a good educator by any definition.

I took Oceanography online with Professor Riley and really enjoyed it. If you need an Essential Learning Natural Science credit I highly recommend this class. It is fun, interesting, and very manageable for an online class.

While I wouldn't say that her class is lecture heavy, she tends to go through power-points super fast, so you either get the info or you don't. I love her teaching style and it worked really well with me. She is very caring and with proper information, she would work with you missing exams or tests.

She is super nice! But her lectures are all over the place. It seemed as though she didn't know what she was about to say herself... Speaking that she'd flip-flop between outdated slides every 5 minutes to make sure she was on track with the lecture... 
She's a harsh grader but if you memorize the study guides she gives you you're guaranteed an A.

She got a really good score so I was excited, but she isn't a good professor. She's a good person, but not a good teacher. Overall super easy class if you turn everything in, but tests are just memorizing study guides with random questions she doesn't go over. If you want an easy class, take this.

Dr. Riley is a really nice person and will work with you to understand concepts, however, she is not a great lecture professor. The only way you're going to be able to grasp a concept is going into office hours. She speeds through lectures and is close to impossible to keep up with. Very willing to work with you though, and offers EC.

Her online course is very easy, she has organized the class D2L in a way that's easy to navigate, the material is interesting and the work is very easy. just discussion post, quizzes, and the concept maps (the concept maps are kind of difficult if you don't read the textbook)

Professor Riley is a good person, but an awful professor. She asks for feedback then gets mad at students for giving negative feedback  and argues with them about it but praises kids who give good feedback. She also leaves half the stuff out of the study guides and expects you to go find it.

I took Weather and Climate with Professor Riley, and it was overall a good class. There is a lot of lecture, but it is easy to manage the homework given. Weekly quizzes, and optional study guides help prepare students for the tests.
