Comment:
Worst professor. Disorganized + provides students no resources to help understand the concepts of the class. Zero tests before the final + zero feedback on any written assignments before huge final research paper. Students have no idea if they are doing well in class. Lectures are boring. She can't speak english and directions are confusing as hell

I have never seen such a disorganized professor. She seems extremely nice, but since the program is online its hard to really create a relationship. The essays have no explanations or guidelines and I have learned absolutely nothing in 7 weeks out of 8 throughout this course.

Professor RIder is terrible. She talks all class about random things that do not relate to the course. The class is unclear and there is no form. She will randoml assign "memos" on things she doesn't teach us. She also talks about plastic half the time in this course and it has nothing to do with plastic. I would not recommend taking this professor

She is knowledgable and likes to pass it on, and is friendly which is appreciated. But the negatives outweigh the positives. Assigned a 20+ PAGE ESSAY with countless things that had to be included in it. Worst assignment Ive ever done and it made me miserable. Lectures about random things entire class period, no slides. Most boring class ever.

Good luck soldier. Every assignment is cryptic and there is no structure to the class. There is no textbook nor any indication of whether assignments will be graded or not. if you are in this class you have two options; become religious and pray for help, or drop out as soon as possible.

There is absolutely no way I would take this professor again. She assigns SO MUCH work with absolutely no details on what she specifically wants. She spends hours on a topic that should only take 10 minutes and has no compassion or sympathy for her students. Do not try to ask her for help because she will only make you feel stupid. DO NOT TAKE!

Comment:
Professor Rider has got to be the worst professor I have ever seen in my life. Will sit in class talking for the full period and will rarely take notes on the board. She expects you to listen and write notes from her telling her stupid stories. NEVER take this professor unless you want to suffer from depression.

Professor Rider is a good person and you can tell she has had an eventful life with her stories from the past that she will share during class. With that being said, all you will hear is her talking all class, each and every day. The amount of work assigned is unreal and there are just so many easier professors for this course that can be taken.

Rider is one of the most knowledgable profs at marist. If you study int'l biz, shes a must take for her wealth of knowledge. If you participate and are engaged, she will like you. Work can get tough at times- read the handouts and review and you'll do really well. Good luck on your tri-fold and country paper.

This professor was so awful. I could not even tell you what class I took it was that confusing. She was never clear about what she wanted and my class had zero themes to it. She would spend countless classes talking about nonsense and then give us quizes relating to something she mentioned once three weeks ago. She also never answers emails.

Clever, funny, comprehensive, capricious, unfair, inconsiderate. Recommends students take finals week off from work, the workload is so murderous. This is good advice. Class size is so big (mandatory class) that she pushes the incredibly subjective ("you don't need a grading rubric, you're in grad school") essay grades to her TA, which can cost you

I liked Prof. Rider. She was very involved and accessible. The forum discussions were interesting and with strong participation from both student and professor. She was also quite accessible and it seems like she was genuinely interested in teaching the course. There was a good deal of work but Prof. Rider is a fair grader.

I took this course (in round 2) along with MBA 660 (15 weeks). This course required between 2 and 3 times more effort than MBA 660. There were two 1000 word essays with the third having no restriction. The final is set to be 3 essays, and she recommends "If you can arrange to take some time off from work that week, it will be helpful to you..."

Worst professor ever. Besides being condescending and diminishing towards her students, she thinks she is better than her students. Half of her lectures is her yelling at us. NEVER take this professor if you don't have to.

Horribly boring class. The lectures were really dry and there's no textbook so we would get assignments based on handouts and she grades heavily.

Definitely the worst class I have taken at Marist College both as an undergrad and a graduate student. Picture having a capping paper every week. With 20-page readings every week too. Tons of work. Impossible to do as a working professional or with another course. Demands you cite every word you write. Just a lot of unnecessary assignments. Awful

What a horrible semester it has been. So many papers and readings. Just an absurd amount of work. Get ready to do a research paper legit every week. The college should seriously look at the courses that Professor Rider teaches and reconsider. The stress level and depression she causes in the amount of work she dishes out is unfathomable. AVOID

So much work expected in one 8-week course. Definitely the most demanding course I have ever taken without a doubt. Tons of readings and writings. Be ready to write in forums EVERY NIGHT and cite everything you write about in long, pointless essays. A lot of groupwork is done as well. It was an absolute nightmare. Wouldnt take with any other course

The workload for this class is unfathomable. Forums and papers do every week with EXTENSIVE research required. There is a research paper due every week. The forums you must post in nightly and ritually. It requires an incredible amount of time. More work in this class than my other 2 MBA classes combined EASILY. NOT for the working professional
