Awesome
The best professor at AU. Has a lot of passion and is very engaging.
Good
Professor Riley is very entertaining and funny. However, his class is pretty hard because it really requires you to pay attention and take notes. If you are into psychology and willing to exert time and effort, this will be easier for you. I don't think this is the best choice for an easy gen ed
Awful
I never hated college until I took Professor Riley's class. What is the point of going to class when you're having a mental breakdown every time you have to take an exam? For each exam there was ten pages of multi paragraph short answer questions.
Poor
Truthfully, for a Gen Ed, he was crazy. I did not get much out of his class at all. The stuff I studied for wasn't even on the exams. The entire grade is just 4 exams. You have to be good at taking tests to pass. He is not helpful, goes off topic, and if you don't his book he asks you to read then good luck.
Awful
The class of Professor Riley has an unreasonable difficulty level. The workload is insane. Six books for just fourteen weeks of school. Just don't take his class.
