Ritesh is a Saint. He is very accomodating & more than willing to help his students suceed. His lectures are crystal clear. He even prints out notes for his students so they arent just focused on busily copying down notes. Ritesh is anything But boring, he makes reference to current events and shows informative clips. & hes a very sharp dresser...

Best prof! He is always helpful when it comes to the assignments. He allows you to send him a draft before the due date to give you feedback. Take advantage of this!

I have had Ritesh for a few classes now and there's not much negative to say.

His lecture style for all of the classes he teaches are typically the same, he loves to draw from personal experience to tie in the content your learning in lecture.

Yes, Ritesh doesn't make his students hassle like other profs, but if you want to learn and truly put effort into it, you will learn. He is an easy marker and his exams are most often open book but it doesn't mean you can't learn anything. Y'all are grown ups and can take responsibility for your own education. Awesome prof, will take again 110%

Ritesh is an awesome professor. He truly cares about his students and gives amazing feedback on assignments. His grading is very reasonable. This class included 2 written assignments, a midterm, group presentation and a final exam. He made lectures interesting and you can tell he is very passionate about what he teaches. TAKE HIM IF YOU CAN !!

honestly was single handed the most kind professor i have encountered. he cares about student learning and success. we all did pretty bad on one exam and he gave us opportunities to boost our mark; i think this alone speaks volumes on his character

I don't know why people like Ritesh so much. He ignored my emails and his lectures are absolutely useless he lectures for 3 hours just to talk about a limited amount of concepts and life stories. When the midterm was extremely difficult and based on the textbook which he never goes over. I recommend skipping his class and just reading the textbook.

no passion for teaching this class, I don't remember learning anything from this class that I'm now applying to my career. $700 scam. He should stick to teaching the intro classes and the other legal studies classes as that's more aligned with his career. No challenge nor logical connection between course concepts and degree program.

Ritesh is easily one of the best profs at MRU. He's an amazing guy and cares about his student's grades and futures. His classes were very easy to want to pay attention to and learn more about. I highly recommend taking a class with him!

Genuinely cares for students and our success. One paper and one group presentation. Easy tests and a lot of feedback on the paper. Presentation is long and nerve racking but was a grade booster for me.

Ritesh is probably my favourite prof. I think he truly does care about his students and goes out of his way to get to know you and check up on you. He understands things happen and we have a life outside of his class which I really respect. Truly an amazing person and he deserves recognition. Definitely recommend him as a prof.

Doesn't give feedback, seemed AI generated and was essentially identical to everyone else regardless of grade. There is a major group facilitation and a 10-12 page paper and then a midterm and final. Not a bad dude but its obvious he finds favorites in his classes and treats them as such. PowerPoints also kind of didn't make sense sometimes.

He treats his students like favourites. Additionally, PowerPoints occasionally made no sense. Seems to be artificial intelligence (AI) generated, doesn't provide feedback, and is nearly the same as everyone else, regardless of grade. A significant group facilitation, a 10- to 12-page paper, a midterm, and a final are all required.

Graded all the 10-12 page papers in like two days which is really suspicious, because he taught 4 of the same classes and all the feedback was the same. It doesnt help that 90% of students in all four classes got the same grade and feedback. He's playing with people's futures.

He is not punctual and believes that his time is better than yours, booked meeting with him and he would show up late or flat out ignore you. Even if you could hear him behind his closed office door.

He was unfair and grouped everyone into the same boat because. ONE person used AI in one of his classes and I quote he said "I wouldn't be surpised if they couldn't form a sentence without AI" Not all of us do this and actually put time and effort into the classes we're paying 700+ for.

He genuinely believes that he is better than us because he is a lawyer and has accomplished many things in his live. He basically says this throughout the entire semester in a very passive aggressive way.

For some reason it felt like he was out to get me from the moment I stepped foot into his class. Which is weird because I've gotten nothing less than A's in all my other Criminology classes. He did his best to lower my GPA and succeeded.

Ritesh is genuinely the best prof for CRJS. I am so grateful to have had my classes with him and I will continue taking as many courses as I can with him. He makes his lectures super engaging, fun and easy to understand and most importantly, he GENUINELY cares about his students. Best prof ever!
