best wx teacher ever
Great class with a great teacher.
Great teacher, funny, no projects, homework done in class, good test reviews
Best prof ever!
Duuude, this guy's where it's at! A lil' insight, mention some David Allan Coe or Jack Daniels' and you've got a friend for life. Treat him fairly, and he'll help you out whenever possible.
This class is the ****! Snow is the best professor ever! Take any class you can with this guy. If you respect him, he'll help you out in anyway possible. He's a great mentor and friend.
He is cool!! Very funny and easy to approach.

Cool teacher, makes met fun
He is a GREAT teacher he makes weather funn believe it or not! his teaching style is like no other.
the best
Pretty much the coolest most laid back teacher I've ever had.. I mean weather is definetly not the most interesting subject and he made it an awesome class to be in. It's the only class I have I dont mind going to. Definetly Recommend him!!!
The Man, The Myth, The Mystery....Wow, what a fun guy. And i quote Yeaah, yeaah, Did you ever wake up **** at the tiki bar next to the hotel pool???? Did you see the steam rising off the pool in the morning? Thats what known as adv
Great guy!
get him while you can, his classes fill up real quick. He is the best teacher/hippy/beachbum ive ever met.
This guy is the man. Funny Easy and nice.
Dr. Snow is the man! Take his GIS class!
Really cool professor,so laid back exams pretty easy,was one of the 1st professors I had at Riddle and he was awesome.Word to the wise don't confise him with his wife when signing up for classes,cause if you do you'll be sorry. She is exactly the opposite
This guy was the coolest proffesor that i ever had at Riddle. He made meterology fun. So laid back, he is the man
He is extremely laid back and is hard to take notes b/c he is so cool about everything. No homework and come to class whenever. Just go to the reviews before the test. Not learning much but easy A. Goes right out of book and some related to aviation.
This guy definitely rules. The reviews make the tests a breeze, and class is always fun and entertaining. One of the few classes I don't hate. If you get less than a B with Snow, you're a moron. Dr. Snow...accept no substitutes.
He is the ****, he is AWESOME and an incredible guy. He is funny and his classes are great. tests are easy and everyone enjoys his class.
Keep on rockin in the free world.. make love not war.. can't we all just get along (or smoke a bong)... I love Dr. SNOW
Professor Snow is awesome, his class was the only one I looked forward to going to every week.
One of the best professors. Very enthusiastic and fun. I only regret that I'm not a meteorology major so I only had him for one class. Definitely take his class!
His classes fill up within 10 minutes. Enough said
THe F*cken Sh*t! Take him for all you can!
Awesome teacher!! If you want to learn alot and have fun doing it, this is the professor. I never thought Weather would be fun, but he prooved me wrong back when I was a freshmen!
COOLEST GUY here very easy,knows alot! very intresting and will teach you alot! GET HIM
Rich snow is the man. He's Sooo awesome. If you dont get him.. you're a square!
i had himn for WX1 and WX2. You will not find a guy more chill than him... he actually cares about his students, and makes u feel good about yourself.. great teacher, very positive.... and will definately make you smile. Really happy to have met him.
Awesome teacher. Summer school 8 am classes suck but he made it fun. Come in every morning and played music, U2, Santana, etc. AWESOME, AWESOME....take him if you get a chance.
KICK ASS teacher. if u want to pass any kind of weather class you will take him. make its easy as hell and fun.
The best and most fun teacher i have ever had! You rock Snow!
Rich is truely the man. I actually enjoy class, thought I would completely hate it.
Awesome teacher! He made WX201 easy! Definetly someone you would want for a teacher. He cares about the students
ive had snow for all of my weather classes so far and i always like his class. hes actually interested in his students and cares about them. tests are kinda hard, but he reviews so well that an A is easy to get.
He's the best Weather Professor the University has! Makes class something to look forward to. Totally awesome and extremely helpful!
He is an awesome Prof.!! Make the class fun, but I didnt like working tin the workbook :/ He is very ramdom, youll never know with what joke he is going to come up with!! Thumbs up!!
I did all my WX classes with him and GIS. He is by far the best teacher, mentor, listener, friend. He will always help you out if you need it. Don't leave Riddle without taking him for a class. You'll know what I mean after. Thanks Dr. Snow for everything! I'll keep in touch from Cincinnati.
Best Weather Prof ever! Easy and relaxed class, no HW, gives you the test in advance...TOP
Climatology. Very good course to take for WX minor. Usually has music going as he teaches to help students get in the zone. Bases much of the lecture off powerpoint, a LOT of independent study and assignments via the course workbook. Fun class!
This guy is the man. Loved being in his class even though it was at 8am. Chill and laid back.
This guy is the coolest professor ever! His classes are fun, interesting, and straight to the point. Great guy.
Awesome, SNOWS THE MAN!
Whatever we say about Dr Snow is just not enough. This man cannot be described with words! He is perhaps the awesomest person alive and BY FAR the best professor at Riddle. Don't let his goofiness fool you. Rich is smart as hell.
best teacher in WX. very easy classes, bording on too easy
This is my third class with Rich and I'm not even a weather major or minor! He's the best teacher at riddle by far, and also one of the smartest, which many people don't realize. Swing by the Ocean Deck and you'll probably find him enjoying a happy hour special....
This guy know how to teach. He knows his stuff and his classroom is an easy and fun enviroment to learn. The best professer I have ever had (even though he gave me a B in aircraft icing). If you go to class every day and study you will get the grade u deserve.
DAMN, WHAT A GREAT TRACHER. HE IS THE MAN. SWEET, FUNNY, FUN HIPPY. Very eager to help, and I always looked forward to comming to class. His tests are dicey but just study the notes. The labs are hard, but will give you 100% if all done no matter what. DON'T BOTHER BUYING THE BOOK. If you want him, REGISTER WITH HIM 1st DAY OF REGISTRATION.
AWESOME TEACHER. He will go out of his way to for you. Take him for any class you can.
Numero uno in WX classes. HEZ THE MAN!!!! Cant beat him.
Jazzy guy, great friend, sweet wonderful guy. God bless him. He is the man. Easy a or B.
greatest teacher ever, want an A take his class. CLIMATOLOGY BOWLS own at life, and he basically gives you the test the class before thanks
*SNORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRE*! ahahaha....
What an awesome teacher.. he's the man! Very fun class.
GIS Advance....one of the best and most fun i've ever had in a class. It is Dr. Snow and he is really easy and fun to get along with. Hell he has a stamp that he uses to grade papers that says "100% SNOW". GPA booster class
He was easy and a good teacher. We always had fun in his class.
Dr Snow is a cool guy. The class comes at you as being really boring, but not with Dr Snow. Take him if given the chance. Also attend class, youll never know when you may get extra points on an exam for showing up to class.
THE BEST IN THE WORLD FOR WX 201... I REALLY RECOMMEND HIM..!! TAKE HIM
I highly recommend Dr. Snow...he actually found a way to teach a class something in a fun way...I really understood everything about weather and there was no point when I was bored. I especially loved the part that he let us out early, because once the class material is finished, there is really no need to stay any longer. I'd pay to hear him talk!
Excellent professor! If you can take his class, do it. Always there to help, keeps the class interesting, you never know what he will do. Great guy
Awesome dude with a *#&$'n great sense of humor to brighten up a class that would otherwise be boring. His explanations of things are somewhat unclear and elementary in their delivery making you feel like a 4th grade kid. Class subject matter is a breeze and intuitive so you would do just fine anyway. Easy tests, straight from PPT. NO FINAL!!
Dr. Snow is the Man!!! He is an expert on weather, a great teacher, with an excellent sense of humor, and taste in music.
Awesome professor. Makes the weather interesting at the least. Eager to help with any confusion during office hours. Slides come straight out of the book as do test questions,so go to class and study and there is no. way to fail.
This guy is the coolest professor ever!..... MY FAV :)
Great guy, easy class. Do the workbook and study a little for the exams and you'll make at least a 95 in the class. You'll be laughing through 50% of the lectures because this guy is so funny. Take him and enjoy.
Greatest teacher i have ever had. Very interesting guy. Very comedic as well. Easy class. Impossible to fail. His favorite line "You have 48 Hours".
Really great! Lots of extra credit and no homework! Extremely funny and crazy!
Best class ever!!!! Literally impossible to fail!!!! "Okie damn dokie"
Bro. Stop reading this and just sign up for his class. It is impossible to fail his class. Get someone to sign you in every day on the roll sheet. Just make sure you study for the tests. He uses word for word questions off a online study guide. And don't forget to go over the power points briefly. Easy A. STOP READING THIS AND GO SIGN UP.
THE BEST. Classes are usually 30-45 minutes and half of it is basically goofing around. I have yet to get below a 100 on any of his tests. There are only 4 tests, and NO FINAL. I love this class and I'm actually learning while having fun. Movies almost every friday. Technically you can only miss 5 classes, but i wouldn't want to miss any.
He. is. AWESOME. Period. Take him, and you will pass. Super chill and loves the environment.
Had Snow for WX201, super nice and funny guy, test are straight from powerpoints and book website (literally). Easy class and you'll actually learn to. Highly recommend.
I wish he taught every class. Skool would be much more fun.
He is an AMAZING professor! He is so helpful and a very funfunny guy. More importantly he is awesome inside and outside of class. He will always help if he can and he is just generally a really good guy!
Best professor I've had in my degree work. Richard Snow is not only hilarious (especially his laugh and his throat clearing) but he's super simple, knows exactly what you're there for (just a degree satisfying class) and works for you. I had 1 homework sheet, and 0 readings. There were 3 tests, and each class before the test is review. Movie Firday
Great professor. No homework just 4 tests and he lays out all the info for you. His Power points are online and he has any testable material highlighted. Easy class.
very good professor. very patient and understands students. no surprise quizzes. no curve ball questions in his exams. i always look forward to attend his class. you will learn a lot from him if you listen and attend his class. good man.
honestly, one of the best classes so far. Its impossible to leave his classroom with a frown on your face. stupid funny guy and is overall super laid back. He understands why you are here. His tests are basically word-by-word off the power point. if you spend 20mins the night before looking over the power point (online) you will pass tests no prob.
Take this man. For any WX class offered, TAKE HIM. He is an amazing and fun professor. He shines a light on classes that other professors make a snooze fest. My favorite ERAU professor. He is always having a good time and loves to engage everyone. You will not be mistaken by taking his class.
Makes every class fun! You can get extra credit by just showing up, say, on a rainy day! Easy A on tests IF YOU STUDY, but he gives you all you need to study for! Weather documentaries almost every Friday!
Snow is the man he is by far the best teacher I have ever had. Just study the powerpoints and you'll get an A. Gives extra credit. No matter who you are, you will love this class.
Professor Snow is THE funniest, and one of my favorite profs! His lectures are hilarious. However, it is kind of hard to retain information during the lectures because it's hard to take him seriously. Overall his class was amazing and I wish I could take it again!
He is by far my favorite meteorology Professor. I will graduate having taken three classes with him, and they are classes I look forward to going to. Lectures are short and sweet, and he is not a hard grader. Show up and pass, and don't forget to smile every once in a while. :)
Dr. Snow is the man! I really enjoyed going to his class, he taught the material in a way that was easy to understand. He created an environment where if you had questions you weren't afraid to ask them. He would give out extra credit sometimes, which helped if you didn't do well on a test. If you have space to take him, TAKE HIM! The real deal!
Movie Fridays. Should I say anything else?
Best college professor I will ever have! Extremely easy A even for those who have trouble with weather. If you show up you automatically receive a letter grade increase in your overall grade.
He's a very funny guy and we had fun every day! Even during test days! And he says good things about me too.
Probably the most laid back professor I've ever had. He makes learning easy. You learn stuff without even realize you are learning it! Tests are every 4 chapters, do the workbook problems he assigns and read through the stuff you highlight in the book during lectures and you will pass no problem!
I took Dr. Snow back in Fall 2016 for WX201, and I'm glad I took him! He explained the lectures very well (he helped write a textbook), he gave out EC points for attendance, and his Tests were fair. He wants all of his students to succeed, and just like everyone says, he's also really funny! Take him for WX201 without any form of hesitance please!
By far the best professor in the meteorology department! Would recommended for any WX class you may need to take!
WX201 comes off as a boring required course, but Dr. Snow made it awesome. Hilarious lectures, easy tests straight from the powerpoints, extra credit, and automatic 100 for 20% of the grade for just showing up. Great guy all around. Take him.
Don't even debate it. TAKE THIS MAN!
Best class I have taken at riddle. I loved going, he made it interesting. If you try you will do well, don't be afraid to talk to him about your grade he will help you out.
Professor Snow is the best. absolutely hilarious. Easy A. Movies every friday.
He grades attendence. Its not mandatory but Itll effect your grade if you ditch over and over.
Prof Snow is awesome. one of the few classes I've ever actually wanted to go to. The class is easy, but you MUST spend at least 2 hours reviewing for his exam study guides in order to make an A. A's on his exams, which can be mildly challenging, require effort.
What a wild ride. Super fun lectures, says many funny things that will stick in your mind for the tests. Movies every week, and helpful worksheets. I highly recommend this man as a teacher for any class you can get him for. By far the most fun teacher I've had in a long time.
Lectures are fine, the only problem is the exams. They are less about the subject, and more about random trivia, especially insignificant things that happen during class. I wish we were tested on the actual subject.
The most relaxed professor ever! He gets distracted easily so the best thing to do well on the tests is to review the slides and the workbook. Speaking of the workbook, he wrote it and its mandatory to buy.
