Comment:
He was always clear about what we had to learn through the live weekly lectures through zoom and through the assignments for each week. The course is mostly asynchronous, and yet his care for his students has made it feel like a synchronous one. He adjusted the course to suit our needs and was always active. Thanks again, Dr. Rieger!

This man is a god. Extremely helpful, and goes out of his way to help you. One of the nicest profs I've ever had. This is a guy who changed the due date on an assignment because he realized his students had a bunch of midterms that week. What a boss.

Dr. Rieger is a very good physics prof. I hate physics and he still made it interesting for me to learn. He's great with first year students and will take the time to make sure you know whats going on.

He's a really great guy, eager to help out his students and will answer all your questions as well as he possibly can. He can be pretty cute and funny too. Class is pretty easy if you get the basics of classical physics

His lectures are filled with helpful information and practice questions. He also sent emails to us every week, which I liked because it kept us informed on everything that was happening. He even showed us practices questions that ended up in the tutorials so our section was ahead of the game all the time. Great prof!

He really tried to effectively convey the material to his students however he was not always that great at explaining concepts. He gave us a lot of practice questions in class but his solutions were confusing at times and he often wasn't sure if he had the right answer.

Excellent prof. Explains concepts clearly and concisely with relevant examples. Attending lectures definitely helps. Midterms were very easy, and final was decent. Cheat sheets allowed on all exams.

The best prof I've had at UBC. He was genuinely interested in whether or not I was actually understanding the material. He is super helpful and generally a nice guy.

One of the best classes I have taken due to the teachings by Professor Rieger. I took this course in the summer and it was a real enjoyable experience. With the worksheets every lecture combined with pre-readings and masteringphysics, the course becomes really easy should you complete all the tasks given.

I took the course via distance learning. It was excellent. My best physics mark ever (better than high school). The course format was superb. High quality online modules were supported by quizzes. The lab component in class was great. All tests were open book and we got practice tests to do before them. He was fair, friendly and helpful.

Very friendly professor! He does his best to make sure that everyone understands what he's teaching during lecture. He's a nice guy and always willing to listen and help if you're confused (even in a class of 200+). Highly recommend him!!

He is really good! Shows videos, demonstrations and is always available after class to answer you questions.I took this course in summer, though. It was much better than what I tried in the fall :)

Excellent professor. He's very clear with what he expects from us. Both the midterm and the final were on the easy side. Do all of the practice problems and you will do fine! The class average was 78%.

He made it very clear what was expected of us for the final exam, and wrote an extremely fair test. He is one of my favorite profs yet. If youre taking physics, TAKE HIS CLASS :)
