Comment:
Dr. Richards is a very nice guy. Lectures can be a bit boring, but it doesn't matter because he's TOO lenient with his students, and basically lets them get away with murder. The quizzes are a bit ridiculous as they feature what I considered to be opinion questions. Not bad as an intro course. I'm going on to minor in IST.

would help if he knew the area the classes focused on, if he knew what to teach it would be a better help.... But for a Ph. D. in another field, does OK teaching IST courses

Great teacher, class was very easy to understand and teaching methods were great. He was a little boring at times, but in his defense so was the material being covered.
