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!

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).

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.

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%

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!

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.

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.
