Professor Rydel is Grand Valley State University's most valuable asset. Take a class with her before she retires and you won't regret it.

Comment:
I dropped Russian after this, but it was because I don't currently have use for the language, not the teacher. She was one of the best I had. She was quite helpful and knew the language very well and very devoted to her students. Also let you retake stuff you did bad on. Her goal was to help you learn the language, not just give you the grade.

One of the best professors I've had in my college career. Really cares about the students, and their success. Tells fun and interesting stories about her experiences in Russia. I feel like I learned a lot this semester and didn't need to kill myself doing it.

Comment:
TOTALLY FRUSTRATING SEMESTER. A lot of our class time got spent on departmental drama and issues that have NOTHING to do with Russian grammar. No standards; all tests and quizzes were take-home, homework finally got returned week before finals. Despite my best efforts, my Russian got worse. I'll pass on 202, thanks.

In my 3+ years at GV, she is the absolute best professor I have ever had. She is a true academic and knows Russian language and culture like no other. Does everything to help you and is extremely understanding. Tells great stories.

My absolute favorite professor. I was ready to drop out of college until I entered the Russian Studies program. She is willing to go the extra mile for her students, and tries to help everybody achieve a good grade in the class. On top of that she is a great storyteller, and a fascinating individual. Make sure you get her classes before she retires

Does not return work, but talks endlessly about how it will be returned. Has 4th year students grade your things. Vindictive, takes class time to decry "persecution" by administration. Attendance not mandatory, cheating encouraged. Also has students patrol this site and have negative comments removed. Russian is cool, but not worth the hassle.

Comment:
Can?t imagine freshman year without her writing help. Gets very behind due to health issues but makes time to help any student that asks. Deadlines are flexible. Lectures can be boring, but she?s led a crazy life and has a lot of great stories. Put some effort in- she?ll give you an A and your writing will improve dramatically.

Rydel is brilliant. She tends to bring personal situations to the classroom and there is a tendency to get behind but this type of frazzledness is dismissible because she's so smart!

Comment:
Cannot stand her. She uses the class like a personal soap box and has superiority complex over other professors, though she rarely covers the text she assigns when she assigns it. She's lenient about deadlines, but more out of necessity than kindness. Misses class. Brings personal affairs to the classroom. Has personal vendettas against students.

Prof. Rydel is crazy (but in a good way). She would do anything for her students and definitely keeps class interesting. She is insanely smart and isn't strict on deadlines. Make sure you participate in class and you will like your grade.
