| course comments : | I am not quite sure what the class was supposed to focus on....maybe it should be called: Trips taken by professor Riddle 101 |
| class : | Spring 2002 section 005 |
| grade received : | N/A |
| class rating : | 1 - Bad |
| class comments : | havent gotten a grade yet...and I am taking the cable section of it....he gives the test identifications and essays in advance but it doesnt really help...the tapes are so horribly boring that i can only usually stand about 30 minutes at a time....then he grades the tests REALLY hard even though he didnt teach anything |
| instructor : | Riddle |
| instructor rating : | 1 - Bad |
| instructor comments : | as mentioned before, learned much more about his trips than about history (is that what he is paid to teach?)....also if you have a problem with insomnia this class could really be beneficial |

| course comments : | The material is interesting, though my particular session seemed to focus more on late Roman history than the Middle Ages. |
| class : | Fall 2003 section 006 |
| grade received : | B+ |
| class rating : | 4 - Awesome |
| class comments : | Very interesting class, especially in terms of class discussion. It's fairly obvious that Riddle enjoys Roman history though, because we spent most of our time on that. It's a running Jefferson Scholar joke that he never makes it past the first crusade, and surely enough we didn't. The exams are essay style, with identification. Since they covered so much material I found myself doing a lot of cramming the days leading up to the tests. |
| instructor : | Riddle |
| instructor rating : | 4 - Awesome |
| instructor comments : | Maybe it's because I was in the Jefferson Scholar session, but I found him to be very involved with the students and he got to know us personally. He had so many interesting stories to tell. |

| grade received : | B+ |
| class rating : | 3 - Good |
| class comments : | Lots of reading to do, interesting material, tests are composed of long IDs and essays. Come to class because she covers a lot. Overall I would give it a 3.5 out 5. |
| instructor : | Pumphrey |
| instructor rating : | 3 - Good |
| instructor comments : | She is a fun teacher (a bit odd at times) but does make her subjects interesting. If you go to her classes, she grades a little bit easier on you than on someone who does not. Overall, I think she is a pretty good teacher. |

| class rating : | 3 - Good |
| class comments : | She takes attendance everyday. The class was cancelled only once and she never let it out early. Her tests were somewhat hard. There is multiple choice, which was easy. Then matching (mostly books with their authors, battles with their winners etc.) and one essay which was 50% of the test. There were two tests, one big paper, and a final. |
| instructor : | Perros |
| instructor rating : | 3 - Good |
| instructor comments : | She is a bit scattered. She would arrive to class 5-10 minutes late. I never contacted her outside of class. She takes awhile to grade things. The best thing about her is that she loves what she teaches and it makes it a lot more interesting. |
