Reviews of professor Richard Tursky

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I learned a lot in this class. Both about digital media and how important it is to get organized in my work. This class helped me do better in my other classes too because of the skills I learned. He is a very accessible instructor and available when needed and is often funny.

I don't know what the rest of the responses are on about, this course is Mandatory for architecture majors and has a key role in success while here at the college. A bit quirky and mundane personality, gave me snicker doodle cookies for correcting him on an assignment. Just do the assignments to the best of your ability and you're gucci.

Former student. Richard Tursky is a tough professor - for good reason. If you don't like his rigorous teaching style, you're in for a rude awakening when it comes to the profession. Once you get through the low-level courses he teaches, he's a very interesting (and smart) person. Listen, do the work, and you will benefit.

Great class and professors. Learned a lot and the grading was clear and easy.

Tursky is a good teacher and does have deep knowledge in every subject he teaches. However, he is extremely strict about project criteria with no room for mistakes. For a second year class, the expectations are quite frankly unrealistic. He also seems to lack any empathy, as if you are having personal issues outside of class he does not care.

He is one of my favorite professors in Ball State University. A kind and nice man. He is willing to help students.

Great guy with professional expectations even from 2nd year students. Very meticulous in his methods down to demanding correct file naming or failure of assignments. Pay attention and work ahead.

It takes you a while to get used to get adjusted to his teaching style, but once you do he can be great. However, he is not emotionally available to his students. He is not understanding of stress and expects you to work 24/7. He sends mixed messages of his expectations all the time. Prepares for anything because youve already suffered the worst.
