Comment:
He is very tough but you learn a lot. Once you get to know him he will joke around with you. He has taught for a while so he is stuck in his way, once you learn his rules, it is easier to get along with him.

Comment:
Dr. Rider is a tough but very good teacher! The first few years he's tougher but once you get to know him and he knows you, he is very helpful and very clear. Once you graduate you'll appreciate him even more. I remember more stuff from Dr. Rider then any of my other classes. Take him! You'll work hard, but in the end you'll learn a lot more!

Comment:
Dr. Rider is the best professor I ever had (I had him for at least 4 classes). He makes you work your ass off but you learn the material better than any other professor will. You only truely appreciate him once you have graduated. I wish all my professors would have been as good as Dr. Rider.

Tough as hell, but you'll be thanking him when you graduate. Earn his respect and you'll be fine the rest of the time.

Comment:
He's a great teacher, but he's very tough and strict. You'll definately understand the material, but you'll have to work for your grade. He's one of the best teachers in the engineering, but he's just not one of the easiest.

Comment:
This guy thinks he is hot stuff, but there were several students in our class who knew the material better than he did. Very unclear and not knowledgeable of the material as he would make it seem. Harsh grader even when the subject is simple and easy.

Very smart professors. Very strict on details but he is only tough to make us better students when we get a job. He is willing to help if you ask for it. Tests are tough, but not impossible by any means. You can use all your notes/book/hw/ on tests

Not the friendliest or most helpful guy. If you ask him a question, he's more likely to tell you how stupid you are for not knowing the answer, than to actually help you. He got better as the quarter went on though.

This professor is the worst ever to exist... the guy said that the entire class was failing before the final, so he said that the final grade would replace the grade... and made the final 5 hours long of impossible crap.
