| course rating : | 3 - Good |
| course comments : | Not a bad class. Covered a lot of material some was difficult some was pretty easy. Not really intersting and required some work in understanding all of it. Required for IE. |
| class : | Fall 2002 section 003 |
| grade received : | B |
| class rating : | 3 - Good |
| class comments : | Not much of an attendance policy but I found that my ass had to be in the chair for me to learn. Class was in the exact time prescribed. Ridgeway seemed to be assholish with giving a zero on late homework (by late I mean even 30 seconds later than when he started class). Material was quickly covered and SOME examples were covered. Not nearly enough for myself. 2 exams were 5 questions choose 4, final was 6 choose 5. Not difficult if you know the material and he's not trying to trick you. |
| instructor : | Ridgeway |
| instructor rating : | 2 - Average |
| instructor comments : | He was average. A decent guy before class but not really a great teacher. He wasn't inspiring enough. He just presented the material and did the examples from the book on the board. He did speak clearly but his explanations were sometimes rushed and were not coherent enough. |

| course comments : | At first the material was pretty easy, but then got steadily harder. |
| class : | Spring 2003 section 001 |
| grade received : | N/A |
| class rating : | 0 - Horrible |
| class comments : | The class was hard and it was very hard to keep up. He sends out no email. You did not have to attend class, but if you didn't, you were fucked b/c homework wasn't listed on a website anywhere and you'd miss an assignment.
The most important thing- there are only 2 tests with 4 graded problems on them and there is NO PARTIAL CREDIT. Your test grade depends on you getting the exact answer on only eight problems through the whole semester. And those problems are pretty complex and on months |
| instructor : | Ridgeway |
| instructor rating : | 1 - Bad |
| instructor comments : | He's an okay guy but he makes the class a lot harder than it needs to be. I wouldn't recommend taking him. |

| class rating : | 0 - Horrible |
| class comments : | I did the homework and got 40's and 50's on the HW. It was hard to get help. The tests were hard but you get to choose one problem to skip (eg. answer 4 out of 5 questions) |

| instructor rating : | 1 - Bad |
| instructor comments : | He was not friendly, and made you feel dumb if you asked a question. Did not offer much help out of class. |
