Comment:
Assumes you know everything about programming. Turning in assignments is extremely difficult. He has unorganized thoughts but can be a nice guy and he does know what he is doing. Just hope you can figure it out.

Goes really fast and assumes you know what he knows about computers. Don't get behind! It's the worst. He is intimidating but can be fun.

Had him for a class about digital media and it was very complex. I also had him for a spring term to the Gilmore Festival and it was fun and he was much more laid back.

Agreed - he DOES assume you know what's going on and can jump around when he teaches. If you're obviously trying to keep up, though, he has no problem with frequent questions :)

Very hard stuff...and I'm a computer guy. Very demanding. Very unhappy when he doesn't get what he wants...but the man knows his stuff.

I went with him on the spring term to the gilmore festival. It was loads of fun. He was wasted for a great deal of the trip and let us drive his car all around Kzoo. He's a laid back guy when he needs to be and a dedicated professional when he needs to be.

As long as you have some idea of what's going on, you should be fine. However, you MUST be able to read bass clef (and some knowledge of scales is a plus)

Comment:
Riley is awful for music theory, but wonderful for anything with music technology. In theory, he treats you like your stupid if you don't get it, but in technology, he's always willing to help, and is a great teacher.
