I loved my course with Professor Rise. You can tell that he genuinely cares about his students and wants him to succeed. Unfortunately I am taking his class during the COVID-19 pandemic and as such I cannot attend his class in person for the rest of the semester, but he is definitely trying his best to make us all comfortable with these changes.

Rise is a great prof - I took this as one of my CJ requirements and was so glad I did. He's a very down-to-earth, kind, smart guy who clearly enjoys what he teaches. The class material can be a bit dull at times, but he tries to make it as interesting as possible. Not a whole bunch of grades but it's totally doable - would recommend.

Eric Rise is a wonderful professor. He's really kind and always available for help during his office hours. If you go to class, read the assigned readings, and put time and effort in the forums, you will do well. He does not put all the grades up until right before the final, however, so make sure you do well on the midterm. Overall, a great class!

I only had him for a one-credit course but I still appreciated his sense of humor and ability to treat students as adults. Nice man, and clear grader.

Pretty boring class that is not difficult if you attend, take notes, and do the readings. The class had a m/c midterm and final, which he allowed an 8x10 cheat sheet of double sided notes. Also have to post forums (only 6/12 assigned through semester) which are based off the readings. Overall, this class was mediocre-just go to class and take notes

This class is you go to class, sit down, he speaks with no powerpoint, and you write. He will talk about the readings assigned, and you have to do forums for 6/12 (easy if you pick ones that are simple). Exams were all MC and he allowed a 8x10 cheat sheet both sides of info in. Easy if you go to class and take good notes.

I had him for honors colloquium, but that's not listed here. He is one of the best teachers I had at UD, tho most of the teachers here are trash tbh. He is easy going and has funny interesting discussions. We were graded on 3 assignments, he took a month or two grading the first one. Overall hes a good guy, would take him again.

Prof. Rise did a good idea of making this class as good as possible. He made a note to tell us whenever we did not need to know something on his powerpoints, and when something was particularly important. He also provides study guides for his exams (extremely useful) and posts on capture. Between those and the textbook glossary, this class was easy

Professor Rise is a really nice guy. His classes can be boring because it is just him lecturing but he does expand off of his powerpoint and really describe it until you understand. Grades are based only on four exams and he gives out study guides that are super helpful. Class is on UD Capture and slides are helpful but listen to his explanations!

Professor Rise is okay. His classes aren't extremely hard as long as you take notes on what he says, but it can be difficult to determine the difference between him ranting about something or what is needed to know for the exam. He's unorganized, and won't get things back to you timely but he's smart and willing to work with you.

Dr. Rise is a gem at UD. American Constitutional History Honors was an enjoyable and straight forward class. Read some cases, go to class, participate, write a case note, participate, and complete a take-home final. He allows ample time for debate and discussion and loves to play devils advocate. Take him if you can. An A shouldn't be impossible.

Professor Rise is really nice. Go to class and take notes on the lectures and discussions, then skim the readings the night before the exam and you can get an A. He likes people who speak in class

One of the most influential professors I've had at UD. I look forward to his class everyday and have learned so much from him. Anyone interested in law school should take Professor Rise, he does a great justice to the legal studies department at UD. Tests and assignments are straight forward and he gives extra credit! Recommend taking him!

Really easy class but his lectures are boring and there often aren't slide shows so you have to pay attention. Get the textbook it really helps with the study guide. He uses UD capture and there is never any homework. He isn't a hard grader but its hard to pay attention in class.

You have one case book that you have to read a few pages for each class. Not difficult, i really thought the class was enjoyable. the study guide is the test so if you fill it out and memorize it there is no reason you shouldnt get an A. once 5 page paper at end of semester. participation is 10%
