| class comments : | a great class. riddle could teach anything and people would like it. lots of stories and getting off track. we really spent much more time on the roman empire than we did on the middle ages themselves. |

| course rating : | 2 - Average |
| 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 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. |

| course comments : | Great course material. To its credit it even mentioned a few philosophers. |
| class : | Fall 2005 section 001 |
| grade received : | B |
| class rating : | 4 - Awesome |
| class comments : | That grade would not be that high if not due to some kindness on Dr. Riddles part after a medical condition. If he ever reads these reviews again, I want him to know his old philosophy student Jake appreciated it. |

| instructor rating : | 4 - Awesome |
| instructor comments : | His stories make otherwise abstract historical places have a little more flare. He tells history as a story rather than a series of facts. And thank god our motto isn't greek or latin for learning, research, and extension. |
