Great teacher when it comes to pathophysiology. Would have loved him for Nursing Health Assessment. He is clear and passionate about the course he teaches. Hope to have him again.
Outstanding teacher that is passionate about his job!!! Always has high expectations for his students!!! I absolutely enjoyed every minute of this class!!
Normally I absolutely HATE 3 hour lectures because no one person can keep my attention for that amount of time but rick senior certainly can. He's so full of knowledge, has amazing teaching skills & brings so much more to the classroom than most profs. He has a great sense of humour and applies his career experiences to lectures to help us learn!
Dr. Senior is a fantastic teacher who makes learning fun and interesting. I always looked foward to attending his class because it was such a valuable learning experience. He has a great sense of humor and his thorough knowledge and understanding of the subject material is quite evident. I wish he would teach more NURSING courses, he is awesome!
Thank-you so much Dr. Senior! This was by far the most interesting class for the semester. I feel that I have learned a lot from you :)
Sweet as! An awesome teacher - should definitely teach more classes!
An awesome proff...a lot of fun yet educational classes.. keep up the excellent teaching. Made my semester a lot more interesting
Easily our most interesting nursing class, the three hour lectures whizzed by. I also found that he explained medical conditions/treatments with a lot more clarity than our other teachers, and so the knowledge that we acquired in that class helped us out in other nursing classes (as there was often some overlap).
It is truly unfortunate that Dr. Senior does not teach us any other courses! He was phenomenal!
it's really tragic he doesn't teach anything else! he's an amazing professor.
This is an amazing class and Dr. Senior is a FANASTIC teacher. He should be teaching more nursing classes within our program!
You know those classes that you dread going to, hate being there, are doing an assignment in class or just creeping Facebook, the one's that you watch the clock and count down the minutes. This is not one of them, Dr. Senior makes you not only interested in the lessen, but want to learn more and do well j so he looks like the amazing professor he i
I learned alot from this class, he taught everything really well
Amazing professor, would love to take another class from him
He is perfect... that about sums it up.
Dr.senior is a fabulous teacher. He makes you want to come and sit through a 3 hour lecture. It is a shame that he does not teach more nursing classes! He is perfect, and his class is the highlight of my week!
Oustanding teacher. He has a way of teaching a concept so that you KNOW it and understand it and will NEVER forget it. He makes the complicated human body (and its many misunderstood diseases) crystal clear. Please teach all my classes.
only class i always wanted to go to. wish he would teach more nurs courses
Excellent teacher, wish he taught more classes.
Fantastic teacher, I wish he taught us more courses. He made the most difficult topics easy to understand.
I Think this teacher is my favorite one so far in my university experience
awsome
This professor made this class content both fun and interesting. I wish he taught more courses at the school.
Amazing Prof, Would love if he taught pharmacology aswell. He knows what hes talking about and makes the content exciting and easy to learn.
Just a really great prof.
Very good professor. His classes are always very interesting and he is ver straight forward. Definitely one of the best professors I've had in university.
He's an awesome teacher. I think he would be a much better teacher than our current pharmacology teacher!!
Very good teacher. Open to answering all questions. Tests are fair and exactly what he says they will be.
Really great teacher. He should teach more nursing courses. He's the best teacher that the program has.
he's cool.
This man is a champ! True story.
Excellent!
Great professor! Easy to learn from, enjoyable classes, never fell asleep:)
Amazing Instructor, he made a difficult course easy to comprehend. Would love to have more courses with this professor
The best prof in the program by far, to bad they wont let him teach more just because they need a certian amount of nurses teaching... ARGGGG
Fantastic Professor. His level of experience really added to our comprehension of the course material and made the class a lot more interesting.
I really hope Nipissing tries to get him to lecture more classes. Very smart and funny!
Excellent Professor!
One of the best teachers I have ever had. I've learned a lot from this man.
An amazing professor. Actually cares about our potential as nurses and has an ipeccable way of explaining concepts. You just know he's an excellent doctor as well. Would love to be taught more courses by him!
Dr. Senior is an excellent professor. The nursing program would be wise to get him to teach more courses!! He teaches in a way that grabs your attention and has fun doing it as well!

Amazing teacher who made class very interesting. Learned a lot and look forward to this class every week!
Absolutely amazing professor. extremely knowledgeable and exciting. He was able to make a class that contains some very challenging content fun and interesting. The way he teaches makes most students do well in the course and provides each of them with a memorable experience.
Awesome course! Very interesting, and learned alot of valuable information. Tests were very fair all the short answers show a true reflection of your knowledge instead of tricky MC questions
Amazing Prof!!!! Loved attending class weekly!! Easy to follow with fair test, straight forward questions with no confuse. Found information taught very valuable!
I adore Rick Senior. Him teaching Pathophysiology was the best think of life! He's a very impressive and intelligent doctor that knows basically everything there is to know about the human body and anything related to health care. I wish he taught all my classes...especially pharmacology.
One of my favorite prof in Nipissing. Teaches well, he seems very interested in teaching us and very helpful and fair. I enjoy coming to class bacuse i actually learn
Favourite Class ever!!! Very fair teacher, tests and assignments were very fair. Amazing teacher and doctor. he is extremely knowledgeable
Have him teach pharm too....awesome teacher!
Rick Senior is an amazing teacher who I enjoy listening to because he is very knowledgable. If anyone has a chance to take this course I highly encourage them to! Thank you so much for such a good class!
Best professor I have had so far at this university.He explains concepts extremely well and makes class fun and interesting. I did not miss one of his classes. Enough said.
Best professor out there. Very knowledgeable and gives great examples to ensure everyone understands the content. He makes class fun and interesting. I wish he taught more nursing classes at Nipissing!
Great class, great teacher. No complaints what so ever.
Excellent teacher!
Amazing! I wish Dr. Senior taught more classes.
Amazing Teacher. He made things interesting and I was always happy to go to this class. I wish he could teach more of our nursing classes. His experience and examples are extremely valuable.
Really great teacher wish he could teach pharmacology.
Dr. Senior was a great professor. I would definately take another class with him as the teacher. He made the information clear, as well the expectations for assignments & tests. He has been trying to teach the Pharmacology class for years & I think Nipissing University should give him a shot because he is very easy to understand.
Great teacher! He should definitely teach Pharmacology! I feel I would learn a lot more if he did!
LOVED THIS CLASS!!! BEST TEACHER OF MY UNIVERSITY CAREER THUS FAR!
I love this guy! He is an excellent teacher. He moved through the content quickly which made it necessary to stay engaged and listen. He used great examples to illustrate the content, including physical demonstrations like the inflated glove to show how COPD works. It was an enjoyable class and I learned a lot.
This class was my favourite class this year by a longshot. The content was difficult, but he made it interesting, and gave significant examples of the concepts so that it was easier to retain.
Dr. Senior is by far the best professor the best Nursing faculty Nipissing has. I would love to have him teach more nursing classes. He knows his content well and knows how to keep the class engaged. I learned more from this one class than I have in all other Nursing classes.
My favourite teacher and favourite class this year!
This was by far the best class I have had since my nursing career started last year. I would say though, that the content would not have been as interesting or easy to comprehend if it were another teacher. Dr. Senior did a perfect job and I learned so well from him. I wish he taught more nursing classes (pharmacology!!)!! Great guy, great class!
Favourite class. Favourite professor. I wish all of our nursing classes were taught by him. I can actually say I listened to all three hours of every lecture. I feel like I've progressed so much, throughout this course. Best teacher ever!!!
Best prof I've had so far! He actually made the content understandable as well as relatable! He made the content interesting as well and covered material without just reading off the slides. Wish he taught more nursing classes!!!
This was one the most interesting courses I have taken so far in nursing. It was a very helpful class. The content was not easy, but Dr. Senior taught the course material in a way that everyone could understand, and kept the class involved in discussions and had everyone's full attention. I really enjoyed this class.
I could not have enjoyed this course more. Everything taught in class was extremely helpful and used examples relevant to topics we were studying that week in order to reinforce difficult concepts. I would absolutely take another course with this professor- a class like pharmacology where students struggle would be beneficial to have his expertise
Mr. Senior is an outstanding professor! I wish he taught more classes! He would be a great teacher to have for a challenging class like pharmacology! Would love to see him teach that class! I wish his class wasn't over yet.
I absolutely loved this class. It was so interesting, and Professor Senior did an awesome job. I wish his course went year-round! His prospective brought the course alive and kept it useful and fascinating with the real-life stories he told. I would recommend him to teach any science or nursing course. Thanks for being an awesome prof!
Makes challenging content interesting and understandable. Relates it to his own real life experiences which makes them memorable. I would definitely take another course from him!
Very good teacher :) !
Dr. Senior is an amazing prof. Always looked forward to Wednesdays! The material can be difficult though if you study and attend all the classes he explains everything extremely well and also provides very helpful examples and demonstrations.
Dr. Senior is a great teacher. He is extremely helpful with any questions you may have. In class he focusses his lectures on the important topics and provides demonstrations, stories and ways to remember topics. I would take any class from this teacher and hope that he can teach more classes at the university.
Dr. Senior is an amazing professor. He has a lot of interesting stories and loves what he teaches. I would take anther class from him for sure.
Awesome teacher! Makes everything very easy to understand :)!
This professor was very interesting to listen to as well as very knowledgeable in the content of the course. He provided students with real life situations which was always exciting. He is very clear on what he expects out of the students and I would most certainly enrol in another one of his courses.
Dr. Senior is a great teacher! he made the course content appealing and interesting! I would gladly take another course from this man! He made this my favourite class so far!
I absolutely ADORED having class with Dr. Senior. I was able to apply almost everything he taught us to my clinical experience! He's clear, concise, and has the best stories. I would love to take another class from him. His assignments were relatively easy, and I found that his tests and marking was very fair. Great guy, great class.
Hands down best professor of the semester! Ensured everyone knew the material and explained everything really well!
Amazing professor! Everything was clear and the lecture was engaging.
Great professor. Would love to take another course from him. He made the lectures interesting and was able to keep everyone's attention throughout the entire class. First course I have actually looked forward to attending.
Interesting, fun and experimental
Great teacher! makes the course interesting
Outstanding class. The best professor I have ever had in all my degrees. Very interesting and extremely knowledgeable. Applied anecdotes from real life to course. Amazing class.
This professor was one of the best I have other had, as a nursing student I think he should be more involved. He is very knowledgable and knows how to make us understand what we are learning. He was very helpful and a great guy. I learnt alot and would most definitely take many courses from him again
The professor is amazing, very interesting and fun. He made class enjoyable and entertaining. If you study you will do well in this class, but if you do NOT, you will have trouble passing this course.
Really enjoyed coming to class and learning from you this semester. Hope to see you teaching some of my 3rd and 4th year nursing courses in the future!!!
Best teacher I've had so far, keeps it interesting and simple!
This class was very interesting. Dr. Senior made it a great learning environment and kept the class very interesting which made it very easy to learn. I found I looked forward to going to this class. I really like his teaching technique and I think it would be beneficial if he taught other nursing courses at Nipissing University.
Amazing class! It's content heavy, but he really breaks the course down into easy to learn sections. Keeps things clear, simple, and lets you know what to expect. He always has interesting stories to go along with every lecture, and always has the class get involved - which also helps to cement the information in place. Amazing Prof.
amazing, would love to take another class by this professor. he is fun, interesting and very helpful.
This was an excellent class and I would definitely take another course from this professor.
Amazing class! You'll really look forward to coming each week.
He is amazing! Best prof I've ever had. He should be teaching Pharmacology.
Great prof! Really knows his stuff
Great Class ! I actually was excited to come to class and learn something from listening rather than just hearing a prof read off a slide !
Great professor and great class.
Dr. Senior was definitely one of the best professors our nursing year has had, and I would love to take more courses by him. Thank-you for putting the effort into our futures!
Class was extremely interesting and very well taught. Very heavy content but ended up being my least stressful class since the material was presented in a interesting way that made it easy to remember and study
Very useful course
A great teacher, great content, fair marking
This class was amazing and very helpful. You made it so interesting and I had no problem paying attention like I do for most classes. Hopefully you do teach other classes that I can take in the future. Thank you so much!
Overall a great professor. The course is content heavy, but he breaks it down so its easy to understand, and elaborates on the important parts. He's fair and wants you to succeed. He's also a great doctor during class he diagnosed me. Enjoyed the class, and I am really going to miss his teaching next year. Best class of second year!
A great prof. Would definitely choose to take a course from him again!
He's probably one of the best teachers I've ever had. He is engaging right from the start of the semester to the end. He uses real examples in real time. I'd definitely take another course from Dr. Senior, even if it wan't a mandatory course for my degree!
Dr. Senior was an amazing professor. I hope he will be able to teach more course. Was a very engaging teacher.
He was by far the best prof I've ever had at Nipissing! He cares about his students succeeding and gives phenomenal stories to help you remember key concepts! I wish he taught third year courses so I could take a course from him again!
makes lectures SO interesting, great great teacher!
Best teacher you will ever have in your life. No textbook needed.
Dr. Senior is an amazing teacher! It was awesome to have a trained health care professional as a professor. Shared experiences which benefited learning. Amazing class! Would love to take again or see him in the future it other classes.
Has short answer tests that can be difficult but during the lecture he will highlight what is on the tests
by far the best professor i have had in my 2 years going to nipissing. makes the lectures interesting. because he's a doctor he has many stories and examples that make the classes more interesting
Would love to take another class from him. Very Smart. Let him teach more nursing classes!
Makes Patho interesting, would definitely take another class by him
Excellent Professor! Very informative! Would definitely take another course from him.
He was a great professor, I enjoyed coming to the class. I loved how he included his own experience into the lectures. He was very enthusiastic about the material he was teaching.
best prof i have had for any course i have taken as of yet. test amrks come back fast and goes through whole test and clarifies everything
Very interesting and encourages participation and class discussion to improve understanding of topics discussed.
Fantastic lecturer! He uses real life examples that really make the concepts stick. Be warned tho the majority of his stories end in the patients dying.
Best professor yet! He uses his practice experience to explain the topics of the class which makes it a lot easier to understand. He should teach other courses for nursing students at Nipissing!
Dr. Senior should be hired to teach more classes at Nipissingu because he is such an effective, knowledgable lecturer. I would take another class taught by him in a heart beat !!
APPLIES LIFE EXPERIENCES TO LECTURE, MAKES THINGS VERY INTERESTING ENGAGES CLASS MAKES EXPECTATIONS CLEAR GIVES HELPFUL CLUES THROUGHOUT CLASS AS TO WHAT IS ON THE EXAM YOU DONT NEED THE TEXTBOOK! HE IS AWESOME AND HAS AWESOME STORIES!
Dr. Senior is the best professor I've ever had! He always keep everyone engaged in the class and what we are learning. The stories and experiences he brings to the table are great. The content to the course is difficult but he makes you want to learn it. I wish he taught more courses so I could take one next year! Im honestly kind of sad its over
One of the best teachers I've ever had. He is so informative. He places his practical experience towards class lectures. Would take his class again in a heartbeat. I wish he had more classes to take. He is a straight forward teacher and doesn't trick you. He is personable and very helpful. His background makes him a very smart man. HES UNREAL!!
Dr. Senior made a hard course interesting and fun, only an amazing teacher has the ability to do that. His stories and inside knowledge allowed us to see how tough topics related to actual clinical experiences. If he thought another class, I would choose to take it in a heart beat.
An amazing class. His experience made the topics so much more understandable and relatable to our clinical experiences.
He is a really great teacher who is clearly an intelligent man. He is great at making course content interesting and relatable to us students and also adds in his own experiences. I would 100% take another class from Dr. Senior and know that most of our class would think the same.
He is a really great teacher who is clearly an intelligent man. He is great at making course content interesting and relatable to us students and also adds in his own experiences. He is also a pretty comical guy.
He's a doctor teaching nurses... need I say more? He know's not only his stuff, but nursing too. He offers a refreshing perspective in nursing education & has an effective teaching style. Pathophysiology content is heavy, by Dr. Senior successfully declutters complicated jargon and isolates rudimentary principles. His expectations are fair.
Great class. Dr. Senior should teach pharmacology. I would take it. He is able to break down complicated content and get the point across in a short amount of time. His stories are valuable and appropriate to the content. Hope he can teach more classes so I can be more successful in nursing!
He had the best class with the best stories and you don't need to buy a textbook!!
Rick is an amazing prof who helps you out when needed and always keeps your interest with great stories from his own experience!
Awesome teacher. Made coming to class interesting and enjoyable.
Really interesting, must go to class!
This is a great class.
He made coming to class fun. Very interesting way in getting the info across. He had activities to help us understand. Many real stories that help understand the material as well
This professor was amazing to learn from. Very interesting to listen to. I would love to take another course from him. Always kept us engaged in the class and was very knowledgeable about course content.
Awesome prof. Very straight forward and gets to the point. Tells funny stories and has a good sense of humour.
very knowledgeable in subject area. Enjoyed course although midterms were challenging
Really great class! He should teach more classes at Nipissing!
Great prof. He made the lecture interesting and kept it short and to the point. Come to class, listen and grasp an understanding of the concept matter you'll pass no problem.
Really loved his class. Great teacher.
This is an amazing prof! I would no doubt take another course taught by him!
This is the best professor I've ever had. He is so knowledgable, yet makes the difficult information clear and understandable. His stories help explain the content and are so interesting. I would love to take another course from him.
I loved this class, it was super helpful, really helped in my nursing practice and was definitely very interesting.
Very knowledgeable professor
very engaging
Great professor! This class was challenging but very interesting! I would definitely take another course taught by him!
Great class for nursing students! Interesting and applicable material taught in class. Dr. Senior is very knowledgeable in his field, and is passionate about health care. My only concerns were 1) with the video project he assigned, his grading criteria wasn't very clear, and 2) the midterms would have been more fair if they were non-cumulative
Amazing professor!
Very specific and thorough in his lectures. When explaining the content learned in class, he relates it very well to his clinical experience and tell us his stories in order to understand the concepts better.
He makes class interesting and easy to pay attention. He relates interesting stories to each of his lectures. Talks fast, so you really need to pay attention. Tests are straight forward, right out of the lecture slides. I wish he taught more classes at Nipissing, I would sign up for any class he taught.
If he had another course, I would take it in a heartbeat.
Hands down; one of the best profs at Nipissing. Really experienced in his field and he has a story to go along with almost every condition. Did well in my other classes because of the content from his class. If he wants to teach another class on top of NURS 2526, the school should let him.
Really great teacher! Only three hour lecture I can pay attention for the whole thing! Stories help reinforce learning!
Very interesting lectures
The course that was taught by professor Rick Senior was definitely one of the most beneficial and interesting classes that I've taken. The professor was one of the reasons why the class was so beneficial as he always kept students tuned into the lecture and kept it interesting. I would definitely love to have another class with Dr. Senior.
Dr. Senior is an amazing professor! It was a privilege to be taught by him. He makes the lectures enjoyable, but still informative. I recommend his classes, and would take additional courses offered by him in the future!
Very good presentations, uses interesting life experiences to tie in criteria which makes it memorable. I encourage him to teach more nursing courses as he made the course very interesting which made me want to come to class, eager to learn.
very good
Dr. Senior make his lectures interesting and easy to follow. I like how he uses his own experiences and hands on activities to help students remember concepts. He tells you what is on the exam if you attend lecture. I wish this prof taught more nursing classes!!
Id take any class that he teaches! he is an amazing teacher with great stories.
Mr. Senior is a great professor! He is extremely knowledgeable and makes his lectures interesting through his stories. His class was the only one I looked forward to throughout the week.

Awesome teacher! Would definitely take a class from him again.
He's an awesome professor. definitely my favourite so far in university!!
Very great teacher for the course. Lectures are very clear, concise, and relate to nursing as a profession. The professor makes the course very interesting and has many real clinical stories that relate back to the content. His passion and experience for what he does makes it easy to listen to what he has to say, retain, and do well.
Didn't want to miss a class!
Great professor, very thorough, made the course interesting. I learned lots and would definitely take another course from Dr. Senior
Great teacher! Has an extensive knowledge base and insightful stories. Tests were fair, but class attendance is recommended to pick up on the additional things he says. I would definitely take another one of his classes!
By far my favourite course this year!
Rick Senior was the best prof I've had yet! Would definitely enjoy to take another course from him!
Dr. Senior is an amazing professor, and I wish he had taught at least some of our previous nursing classes. Great stories from his clinical practice and always made everything very interactive. Talks pretty fast, but try to keep up with him, everything he says is helpful! If he ever taught another course, I'd take it in a second.
He is an amazing teacher and i would love it if he taught another class! (especially pharmacology, i would have learned so much more if he thought the course)
Rick always kept lectures interesting, He is a very intelligent man. Wish he taught more nursing classes!
His classes are interesting! He makes everything clear and easy to understand. His tests reflect the material along with the assignments.
Easily one of the better professors in the Nursing curriculum.
One of the best profs in nursing. Interesting and informative!
Great course
Learned a lot. It helps with all the other courses!
Excellent prof ! Please let him teach more courses !!
This professor was very entertaining and made learning fun! I highly recommend taking a class with him!
Dr. Senior is my favourite teacher at Nipissing. I wish he taught another class.
DR. SENIOR IS THE BEST INSTRUCTOR IS THE BEST INSTRUCTOR I HAVE HAD AT THIS SCHOOL
Dr. Senior is a very knowledgeable doctor who has a passion for teaching and medicine. He integrates lots of personal experiences into his pathophysiology lectures, and is very approachable outside of class for additional guidance if necessary.
really great job would recommend to anyone!
Amazing teacher! would love to take another class from him!
Awesome class! Actually put my phone down and listened
10/10
His lectures aren't mandatory, but I go every week anyway because I learn so much. His lectures are the bomb. Plus you don't have to buy an expensive textbook you won't look at anyways!
My favourite class of the semester!
This class was very interesting. Imformation is backed up by real life experiences making it easy to pay attention.
Such a good professor! His knowledge and experience was so beneficial, especially towards the medical field due to the fact that he is a physician. He is also HILARIOUS, brightens up the class and makes everyone laugh. Well respected and overall really enjoyed the class!
I loved Senior!!!!
He can portray difficult information in layman terms that anyone can understand. most captivating nursing prof I have had Makes class fun I wish to take an elective with him next year.
Loved his patho class! Great Prof!
Dr. Senior was a great prod. Attendance wasn't required but this is a class that you want to go to.
Absolutely great prof all around!
Great professor, awesome stories and fair grading.
Awesome Prof would take any class he teaches
Really enjoyed taking his class, awesome professor! Wish he taught more classes.
Amazing teacher with amazing stories that are very helpful for learning! Very hilarious as well!
Best lectures. He should teach more nursing courses at Nipissing University. Keeps students engaged the entire class.
He is the best teacher you will ever have and one of the most wonderful people you will ever meet. I wish he taught more classes. He is so knowledgable and is able to explain things very well! You will love this class!
Definitely best prof I've had! So funny, many clinical stories that catch your attention. Easy to listen to and keep interest. He needs to teach more classes 10/10
Pretty easy class, his lectures are awesome. great use of real world examples to help solidify the content and he's a really funny guy so he keeps it interesting
Such an amazing prof, would 100% love to take another course !! Had the best stories and was so funny. Although class wasn't mandatory he made it so you'd never want to miss! Truly wish he taught more courses and wasn't just for second year, probably the most I've ever learned in a course!!
Dr. Senior hands down was the best professor Ive had so far in this university. He used real world stories to help solidify the content and on top of it, the stories were hilarious! He didn't make attendance mandatory, however he made the class so interesting you didn't want to miss it! I would definitely take another class of his.
Dr. Senior is absolutely my fav prof that I've had at Nip. So knowledgeable and hilarious. This was definitely a class that I looked forward to through the week. His tests are fair and he is just fantastic. I could listen to him tell stories all day long.
Amazing lectures - very entertaining! Talks super fast, so make sure you are paying attention and jot down notes! Lecture slides are concise but he does include information that is just discussed in class. No textbook which is great, and his tests are very fair! Only complaint is the final exam worth 45% But overall great class and prof!!
Incredible professor! Keeps you engaged throughout the lecture and you learn a lot! Fair tests, and wants you to succeed! Easy to approach
One of the few who treats the students like the hard working adults that they are. Gives great examples during lectures, really engages the audience. Good, logical grading system. Very down to earth and reasonable.
He is such a good professor who knows his stuff. Backs lectures up with great stories!
10/10 would take another class from Dr. Senior! Patho was my favourite class.
Really great instructor, each lecture is interesting and he involves students in each lecture. Very fair tests and lecture content. Overall a very knowledgeable instructor and I would definitely take another course taught by him. Would suggest the school would benefit from other courses being taught by him.
10/10 would recommend!!!! Seriously knows his stuff and has awesome stories from all his medical experience!!! Favorite class by far!!
Funny and relevant stories.
The best class of my degree so far. Would absolutely take another class taught by Dr. Senior!
Dr. Senior made this class a ton of fun with real life stories, and hands on tasks to help understand concepts. His grading was fair and the course information was extremely useful and related to my program. The information I learned has equipped me with the ability to understand other classes better. I would definitely take another class from him!
An amazing professor, who is extremely knowledgable and super funny. Was beyond excited for his course every week as it was filled with real life stories and he delivered the content in a great way. He uses diagrams and even gets the entire class involved by doing a real-life scenario. Extremely personable and a all around great guy!
Great teacher!
Excellent overall
great prof to learn from, never once missed his class because i found everything he said fascinating. You can hear the intelligence in his voice when he speaks.
Dr. Senior has made this class enjoyable and always tells his personal experiences which makes it really interesting! Definitely my favourite class of the program so far and would take another course taught by him 100%!
Has the most realistic grading criteria and expectations I have come across. Is very passionate about his field of work, and dedicated. Had a ton of applicable examples related to lectures. I wish he taught other lectures at the school ie: pharm or complex health challenges. Lectures are made very applicable to field of study.

Great teacher really knows his stuff. Lectures easy to follow and the basis for tests. Overall only lecture Ive ever been able to be attentive in!
This was the highlight of my nursing school. I could sit in Dr. Senior's class for hours. He has the absolute most alluring and interesting stories and he ties them well to the concepts being taught. A very inspiring person and a very inspiring class for anyone generally interested in pathophysiology, medicine and health care.
He was an engineer in the military and now he's a doctor... That right there says he's a really smart guy. If you have a question he'll answer you in a clear and simple way that you actually understand! He's interesting to listen to when he teaches and has a lot of funny and cool hospital stories. His tests are really straight forward too. 110%
Amazing teacher, makes class really interesting! Tests are extremely fair as all the questions are from his notes
He made me want to go to class and want to pay attention. All of his exams are very fair because everything comes from his slideshows. He makes everything very interesting, and makes all the topics easy to understand. I highly recommend this prof and I wish that he taught more classes within the program and school
Amazing professor! Super knowledgeable on the class and does everything he can to make the content clear for us to comprehend .
Best prof I have ever had! Tests from the lectures and is very fair. Makes every lecture interesting by relating topics (learned in class) back to experiences he has had with patients.
The course was presented in such a fantastic and fun way that it made you want to participate and be part of the class so that you could get the most out of it. To future students take in every second you can of that class and never skip one because it doesn't get better and every day is both hilarious and informative. only wish it was longer.
Honestly the best prof ever!
Very smart and funny. Really nice there's no textbook
Amazing professor! I wish he taught more of our classes. He has so many good stories and he is super organized in the content. I LOVED having him as a professor.
makes lectures interesting and funny
I feel as though I got a lot out of the class.
great prof who made the content funny and interesting He would add his own personal clinical experiences which were very interesting and helped you to be able to remember the content
Dr Senior was a fantastic professor. His lectures were full of interesting material including anecdotes from his experience as a physician and past experiences which he shares with students. Dr Senior made the content interesting and his class was enjoyable to attend. This is one of the only classes I have had that I would never skip.
such a good lecturer! best prof at Nip
Dr. Senior did an amazing job, he was able to lecture us on multiple concepts through out the year and not one concept was hard to understand. I have had many classes where lectures just drag on for 3 hours but Rick does an amazing job of keeping things interesting through stories, humour, and various activities during class. 100% best professor!
Dr. Senior makes lectures interesting. He is good at breaking up the lecture with sharing personal stories and experiences, encouraging class discussion, and adding in fun activities related to the course content. I typically find it hard to pay attention for the whole class during 3 hour lectures, but with Dr. Senior the time flies by!
Patho is everyone's favourite class. And it's because of Senior. He makes the class so interesting and full of laughs. His many experiences in health care really do help us to understand content as he is able to put ideas and terms into a simple way for us to understand. Senior would be an amazing prof for ANY course.
cool dude
Great class
Best professor at this university hands down. I wish he taught more courses we could take because his lectures are amazing, interesting and he is very knowledgable.
Dr. Senior is the best. His class is the best! His lectures always contain stories from his practice that relate to the content and he uses the students to demonstrate concepts such as going through a code blue. Three hour lectures fly by! He is funny, understanding and is engaging with us. I would love to take another class from him if I could!
My favorite class of university so far! He is able to hold your attention for the full 3 hours of lecture with his humor and personal experiences from practice. He's straight to the point and doesn't beat around the bush with information that doesn't matter. Tests are really fair and easy to do well. Would definitely take another course by him!
Dr. Seniors course is the best one ive taken & hes my favourite prof. Lectures are so interesting & relevant with stories of his experiences. I was always excited for his class & engaged for the full 3 hours. Ive never done this well in a course before & its cause hes an amazing prof. We need more teachers like him. Id love to have him again!
Dr. Senior's an amazing and considerate professor. He's extremely knowledgeable and puts great emphasis on teaching relevant information to benefit his students. He makes every lecture really interesting by incorporating real life examples from his experiences. I'm sure he'll be one of the best professors you'll have at Nipissing.
One of the best professors in the nursing program! Very interesting and knowledgeable, would definitely take another class from Dr. Senior again!
The best.
Favourite prof so hilarious
Such an amazing professor for the nursing program. Gives very applicable information in an engaging and informative way. Taught us such valuable information that is very applicable in the field of nursing. Tests are fair and reflect the material taught. Highly recommend taking any and all courses from him.
Best prof in nursing school. Wish he taught more nursing courses or electives. 10/10
Simply the best. Patho was my favourite class in all of nursing school because of Dr. Senior. Made all lectures intriguing and easy to follow. Was specific with what we would be tested on. Wish he taught more nursing courses!!!!
By far my favourite class and professor at university so far. I wish he taught more nursing courses. he knows how we learn and it is the first class where I remember mostly everything that was taught. I dont have anything bad to say about him other than its ridiculous he doesn't teach more courses that nursing students can take.
Dr Senior is an amazing professor with lots of knowledge to share. He summarizes concepts well and only tests on the important points.
Dr. Senior is a great lecturer! His lectures were organized and engaging. He used real-life examples from his medical practice that made 3-hour lectures breeze by. He is a fair grader and genuinely wanted us to succeed, not just in his class but also in our future careers. Dr. Senior made this semester great & I hope he teaches us again next year.
Was a very prof
Cares about you passing.
Awesome
Always has stories to help you learn, group projects
His classes & tests are mostly based off of lecture material and what he mentions as important, but he ensures you understand the material before leaving class.He also clearly explains what will and won't be on the mid-term tests and final exam by giving weekly quizzes from the previous weeks lectures. He sets you up for success.
Although Dr. Senior has heavy lectures, he makes sure you understand them. His tests/exams can be quite hard but if you understand the concepts you should have no problem.
Dr. Senior is awesome. He's an MD so he has countless stories to tell in class to relate to the material and it honestly helps the material stick. He's super funny, always making jokes in class and highlights what is and isn't important to know for the exam AND for real life. Praying I have him again next year!!
One of the best nursing professors I've had. Engaging lectures, fair tests, and makes the material really stick. Unstuckstudy ai was a great supplemental tool for preparing. Highly recommend taking any class with Dr. Senior.
Very great prof. Content is quite heavy but as long as you stay on top of the material you should be good!
