He certainly doesn't give the easiest tests, but he's an excellent teacher. The course is generally hard but if you ask him questions and talk to him after class he'll see that you're trying and will definately help you out.

You think you get it... but when you take the test, then comes the curve ball. It takes about three exams before you "get him"... He also tends to play favorites. Yeah, he's smart...knows what he's talking about but not the most compassionate

The hardest class I've taken and he's not an easy teacher. Knows his stuff but you better not be late to class or be a goofball, he's got no patience for those people. Tests were hard and a lot of it was essay; I heard they're multiple choice now.

He is an excellent teacher. He really makes you work and learn. His field class was an organized learning experience, not a vacation! I wish he had more field classes.

Reigle is the best. He teaches bio 12 not 11. Rodriguez does. The bad scores sound like Rodriguez. Rodriguez will not help you at all and excepts you to learn all the bones. For Bio 11 take Harrison at saddleback. Reigle is helpful and is extremly nice. He will go the extra mile for you...

He is a hard teacher for physio but has a lot of knowlege. If you go to his office hours with your essay questions typed out then he will go over them with you and help you to make corrections. I thought I was going to get a B but I ended up with an A and I thought I was going to pass out!

He is a very kind and intelligent professor. He knows his physiology, and explains it well. None the less, the subject matter is difficult regardless of the teacher. A good grade is feasable, but be prepared for a lot of studying and difficult multiple choice questions.

Even though lectures were very challenging, Riegle was extremely helpful during office hours. He helped me break down questions I had so that I came to the conclusion without him telling me straight out. Vey good professor who expects you to learn and not waste his time.

It's a very tough class, and you really have to adapt to his teaching/testing style, but he's really cool. GO TO HIS DISCUSSION AND DO NOT MISS A SINGLE CLASS! Read all of his power points and look over the study guide. The key is to link everything together. Literally, like he says, sit there and think about it, focus. But really, he's a great guy

His discussion is very helpful to add to the lecture. He really cares about you actually learning the material which is why his tests are the way they are. You absolutely have to work for your grade and adapt to his style, like most teachers, but you can tell he knows who's really working hard and he definitely pays attention and tries to help.

Not an easy class but I really liked the guy and found him inspiring. He's passionate about the material. Really tests you on the concepts. Took it over the summer and got an A. I was too scared of him to ask any questions, but if you just go over the material again and again, you'll do ok.

I think he is a very good teacher, his lectures are very organized and he delivers very well. His labs are bad.The lab book takes a lot of time and he is very anal about it.If you want to learn he is a good teacher to take, but forget about getting an A in his clas, it is virtually impossible

He is one of the best teacher at IVC! He really wants you to learn and very dedicated to his students. I don't know why he's getting some of the bad reviews. You'll learn a lot from him and how to organize your thoughts.

I think Professor Riegle is a kind & wonderful professor. He really cares about the students and the material he teaches. Just work hard, ask questions, and attend his discussion class. I received an "A" and it was worth all of my effort. He truly gives you all that you need to succeed. This is not an easy class so only come if you are prepared.

Hes a decent professor, but he does make you work for an A. As for A students getting C's, here is a reality check that maybe your not an A student.

i really enjoyed this professor. he isn't an easy professor. he makes you learn the material so that you won't ever forget it. i honestly appreciate professor like him because he is passionate about the material and very knowledgable. i think if you studied the material before class and right after class you wont have a problem, i promise!

here is some advice: 1. follow the study guide 2. attend class & discussion 3. ask questions (he is more than willing to answer questions) 4. lab quizzes: simply ask him what he wants and he'll literally tell u what is on the quiz. (no mystery here). 5. a 72% is a cutoff for a B in his class. so he is very fair. 85% cutoff for an A so just relax

I took Physiology or Bio 12 with Riegle. He does a great job at explaining the class topics. He is a teacher who genuinely cares about his students understanding the material. The people who complain about him are the ones who want a good grade without the work. His tests / quizzes are only confusing to those that do not make an effort to learn.

He is a great professor. Stick to the study guides and discussions is a must. He is more than willing to help if you need it. Those who thought he was hard, probably didnt expect to study. the material is difficult. But he is a great professor!

Just finished up his 6 week summer class! Word to the wise for future students, YOU ABSOLUTLEY HAVE TO PUT THE TIME NEEDED INTO PHYSIOLOGY! I can't stress that enough! I took this course in 6 weeks and got a B on top of work! Take Phys in a regular semester to save yourself some stress!

Took his 6 week summer course along with Chem 4. I ended up with a B. I don't work so I spent 4 days a week at school (12+ hrs a day) with a majority of my time spent on this class. It's hard but not impossible. Yes, your lab notebook is important but it and the quizzes are only 25% of your grade. Focus on the tests 75% of your grade!

Dr. R is an awesome teacher ! I learned more from his class than any others I took at a 4 yr college. His tests are hard and takes a lot of thought. You need to understand the material, and not memorize it. Holds office hours everyday so if you have problems he's always willing! Got an A in the class and by god did I have to work for it!

One of the best professors I've ever had. Yes, the class is hard because if you don't understand what you're memorizing, you'll be doomed on quizzes and tests. Very clear, helpful, and funny. If you're a bio major and wish to set up a strong base foundation, I highly recommend you take him.

Loved his lectures. *Hated* his lab quizzes. Lecture exams were hard, but reasonable if you study. The lab notebooks are insane. Overall I enjoyed the class, but it was exhausting. Take the optional discussion class!

He gives you all the materials you need to pass but the rest is up to you, so prepare to study A LOT! Short essay quizzes every other week, 4 exams, & comp. essay final. Going to class is a must because his lectures are VERY helpful! overall I learned a lot & I respect him as a prof. Oh and there's very good curve on final grades! 72-84% B, 85%+ A

Great professor--he really knows his stuff. He's very intelligent and explains things very well. He may seem a bit unapproachable, but if you ask him a question, he will answer it for you thoroughly. The key to his class is recording his lecture and listening to it--it definitely helps! oh, and DO NOT procrastinate in this class! stay on top of it!

If you are a bio major, take this class! You will learn so much. He is amazing.

I am currently at Georgetown nursing school. I know people say Prof Riegle's class is hard, but the amount of pertinent information learned in his class will help you wonders in nursing school. I find that I am basically reviewing and applyting what I learned for pathophys. I feel so ahead of the game. I would recommend taking this class!

Honestly, he's very good. Very intelligent and can convey the information to his students well. He is not an easy A, but he teaches the material as a big picture, always tying everything back together. He taught chem to us better than my chem teacher. Go to lecture, you'll learn and understand better than trying to read out of the book.

Professor Riegle is a bit intimidating at first glance but he is actually a very nice man. He is very clear in lectures. He overloads you with studying material which include study questions, study notes/guides, power points, and unit essays. The study work is a bit much but is okay if you're willing to put in the time.

I got an A in this class! Prof Riegle is one of the best professors i've ever had! He teaches the material VERY WELL in the class if you pay attention. His power points are very helpful. The exams are hard BUT fair! You have to study a lot if you want to get an A but it is not an impossible class! I love professor Riegle he is very smart and nice!!

He is very nice and funny. Sometimes his stories in class relate little to the topic. He tells you what is going to be on the class, but you must put in a lot of time to do well. Tests are clear and straight forward and if you study you will do well. His curve is fairly generous, so don't worry too much... (86+ is an A, 73+ is a B, 60+ is a C)

Dr. Riegle is a fantastic teacher! While the subject of physiology is intrinsically difficult, his lectures, on-line material, and review sessions serve to make the material *much* more accessible. He is a strong lecturer, has voluminous supra-textual material to aid students, and is, thus far, one of the best teachers I have had (2nd degree here)

Professor Riegle is an amazing Professor, very helpful, and very knowledgable. This class is difficult and requires a lot of study time. The quizzes are on the exact topics he teaches, no hidden questions. I recommend Riegle if you are really interested in learning.

He is a challenging professor because he makes you literally learn, not just memorize. He is very intellectual and gives you a LOT of information. Not recommended for an easy A, but highly recommended if you are interested in learning a lot.

He's a very smart and inspiring professor. He challenges you to learn and not just memorize. Recommended for people willing to dedicate a lot of time to studying.

He is full of personality and fun stories that sometimes pertain to lecture and sometimes not, but either way I was thoroughly engaged in his lectures and I learned ALOT! His tests are hard! but they're doable as long as you take good notes during lecture and make good use of his study guides and ppt.

If you want to learn physiology and appreciate having a professor with that much passion for the field, then I recommend taking him. By no means is this class an easy A. The workload for this class is insane, but if you can pull through it, his methods will make you a better student. He is really nice, but intense. So BE READY TO WORK!
