Reviews of professor Bernard Richter

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Professor Richter is one of the worst professors I've had. He gives zero feedback for assignments, monologues during the whole 1+ hour lecture, and doesn't make the class engaging enough for students to discuss. Due to no feedback, it seems his grading is based on favoritism. Unfortunately, you can't avoid taking this class. This is just a warning.

Pretty good wants you to be attendant every day and you're graded only on like four essay projects throughout the semester. No test except for the final and one in the beginning.

I enjoyed Richter's class until he lost his temper and made fun of some students.  Rude, disagreeable, condescending.  Attendance is mandatory though we rarely did much, and often left early.  Moderately easy to get a B, nearly impossible to get an A.  Avoid him if possible.

He gives you a very vague topic to write about an expects a masterpiece to even get a 90%. Even if you go above and beyond, if he doesn't like your writing style you cannot get an A. He discussed topics and graded us on concepts he is not familiar with and it shows. His class is has very few assignments and is so pointless.

Class was overall interesting and he goes over what he expects from your papers. I liked the Radio Lab assignment. If you feel unconfident in your writing just see him during his office hours before you turn in the paper and he will tell you what to fix.

Easily the best teacher Ive ever had for a writing course. He is always there for office hours and is willing to work with you through any assignment. No doubt Id take this guys class again for any writing course I take in the remainder of my years at Chico.

He grades very very harshly. Lectures (or rambles) every class but take notes because his assignments are based off of them. Very few assignments so try your best about asking questions and doing your best work.

Professor Richter was very involving and interested in the subject he taught. Although I didn't like the subject of his class, he always made lectures interesting and made sure to include the class in the discussion. Some of the assignments were kind of open-ended which could be frustrating, but he made sure to be lenient about those grades.

He comes off as caring and solid teacher, with a really calm vibe. But he grades really harshly and gives no reason for it. He also seems to know absolutely nothing about the topics we have to write about. I would only take him again if I absolutely had to.

Was really lenient and understanding of outside circumstances! He seemed really thoughtful about feedback he got from students- his grading process was pretty slow, but other than that, I really enjoyed this class. He covers a lot of topics, but he spaces his assignments out so you're not constantly rushing from one to another. Nice guy!
