go to class or get the lecture notes, study old cribs,and class is a breeze
Greaat prof! Lectures very well and are interesting, cribbable test
Covers material, but it's A LOT of material, a little too nit picky on tests
best teacher at campus
Knows his stuff, pay attention and you will learn alot.
Studied cribs. When taking tests, knew letter of correct answer without looking
Study Cribs!!!!
No Comments
Easy class if taken with cribs. Know a lot about processes, info wich will help!
GET THE CRIBS, GO TO CLASS, NEVER ARGUE WITH HIM
Quizzes can be hard
Hard! Knows his stuff, but if you miss one thing he says... you're done.
Easy if you study. If you don't, you won't pass.
there is a reason he wears black on test day, but you can pass, tests out of not
study the key terms and your good to go. Very helpful after class
Class is boring, never paid attention, studied key terms night before=A on quiz
take notes, look at key terms, Easy class
Study key terms and you'll do fine, you don't even need cribs
hard class
Take good notes. Boring but useful.
best class I ever took, great guy
For failing the final, I didn't think a 94 was all that bad. Study key terms.
Study the terms and get a 100
Good but boring lectures. Memorization is key. Final is really hard.
expects you to know every tiny detail, acts cool but isn't
Acts like he's god of the manufacturing world and he's not. I think he's just got a stick up his a** or something. I don't recommend him, but hell you don't have a choice your stuck with him :) Have a great symester :)
Study those notes and terms and you will be just fine. Try not to touch his belly, he'll giggle.
Nice guy. His bark is definately worse than his bite. Actually made learning about manufacturing process KINDA fun. Explains things well. Would reccomend (but at this point in the game, students don't have much choice for their prof. for this class).
Grumpy old man that expects you to know every tiny detail of his lecture. Very cribbable. Boring Lecture.
Have to have cribs is what tests are based off of. If you don't have them you will see you either have 70's in the course or people with cribs have 90's, so get the cribs. He is alright as far as teaching.
boring lecture, somewhat easy class
can skip every other Mon. if u have a frend to take the quiz fo u... but do the same fo ur frend too... skip every other Wed. too...have a frend pick up your quiz...Riffe does attendance that way... easy course
Not a hard class, especially if you look at cribs and study for the exams.
His quizzes are like puzzles, and that is all you are graded by. Nothing but memorization. DO NOT miss a quiz, he won't let you retake it. The class is rediculous, sub-highschool level usefullness.
Fairly good professor. Quizzes are not to hard, but definitely need to study up. He has a "I'm never wrong" attitude and his ego is bigger than his belly!
He has a "I am never wrong attitude" because let's see.. freshman in his first term at college with no real experience or a teacher who's worked in industry for many years, who do you think is going to be right?
Easy, if you pay attention you will do well. But try not to fall asleep.
This prof. sucks, I never learned a thing, and he is useless. Everything I learned was from my labs.
His lectures are terrible! One hour seems like days in that class. He is a very nice guy and easy prof. Just study your notes and you'll do fine in the class. Gurantee 90+ if you study for his quizes(he even gives you the words that will be on the quiz).
It's difficult to stay awake in class. His quizzes are decent, just don't mess up on one of them because it screws you over.
Mind-numbingly boring. Quizzes are difficult if you don't study the material in your notes (yes, take notes because the lab book is useless...unless they change it). Get cribs.
THIS CLASS SUCKS. ITS SO BORING AND SO HARD TO STAY AWAKE! I LEARNED FROM DOING THE LABS ONLY! GET CRIBS, TAKE NOTES! TO DO GOOD
In one word...CRIBS...get them, otherwise study like crazy cause there are a lot of misleading questions on the quizes.
He's a good guy, but has an "I'm always right" complex. Take good notes and go see him about confusing issues and you'll do fine. Also, if you can get cribs, do it. He doesn't change his quizzes from term to term very much.
he is boring and does not always get to all the material on the quizes. You really have no choice, you will have to have him if you are an EE or ME.
I have to agree that he gives misleading questions. You can practically memorizing his notes and still be confused on the test. Get the cribs. Study the cribs. Pass the tests.
Very easy, smart man and relates everything to even easier examples, if you can't understand, you shouldn't be here. Go to UM or MSU.
Quizes every week. No test. And a 100 question final. Other than the good Prof
this class is easy but can be hard, study the cribs and youll be good
Good guy. Good prof. Very helpful. Just study the cribs
Easiness 3 because if you have the cribs, you'll probably do fine; otherwise, you're screwed! Studied hard for quizzes and tried to pay attention (did I mention it's boring in lecture), but did lame in the long run--and I am on the Dean's List! Damn Shame
Get the cribs!!! Lectures are a little boring, but he's a good person and will help you with anything and everything.
Boring but straight forward and easy if you can memorize vocab.
Easy class as long as you go to it. Very Cribbable. His voice is way too powerful for the room. Knows his stuff. Good teacher.
Could have read the notes and learned as much
Subject matter is monotonous with his teaching, could learn from notes, has strict attendence policy, doesn't stick to subject matter very well and ineffectively tries to tie material to interdisciplinary applications.
"One Minute Remaning"
Unavoidable. Only ManPro lecture prof. Really great guy; will do anything 2 help u out. Class is boring as hell, but attendance counts & u actually learn by hearing him go on & on. GET CRIBS. Quizzes aren't the same, but good study tools. Impossible final
EASY, only if you study CRIBS.He likes to word things differently, so BEWARE.He knows his material and teaches it well.Can put you to sleep, but try not to.Go to class,no tests only quizzes.You will do fine.If you don't understand,ask!"ONE MINUTE REM
You have a freaking word bank for every quiz ahead of time. If you study even the slightest, you'll be fine. Get at least one crib to start off, words stuff a little weird. Knows his stuff, really helpful, just wants you to apply yourself.
Biggest @ss of all time, the guy is cruel and mean
Easy class, interesting if you pay attension. Quiz every week, but they are easy if you get cribs. He is a nice guy, really knows what he is taking about. Gives good examples.
He is alright but kinda boring. Not a good class for 8:00 because he can put you to sleep.
Easy class if attend regularly, no tests, weekly quizes with word bank that he gives you before the quiz day.Not a class for 8am, very boring
Easy class but boring. If you crib his quizzes you're golden.
Riffe is a very good professor,lots of examples and visuals, it is very true that you can pass with perfect grades if you just look over and study by his syllabus. VERY strict attendance policy(for tests) he doesn't keep track of your lecture attendances
go to class, pay attention, get a easy 95 wag
The most cribable class @ kettering. Final will be hard because you can not study the material it covers (good luck). Can be a d*ck, needed 85 for deans. Gave me a 83, had a 83.9 (rounded down down do grade on final). No grudes though good teacher.
Study and get an A. Only morons fail IME100. It is true, he cna be an a$$ sometimes, but live with it. Tries to make you think, but you actually just memorize terms instead. GET THE CRIBS. They will save you, but he isn't the most cribbable prof, maybe number 7 or 8 on the list.
Great prof for upper level IME courses. Hands on lab, lots of class participation required. Don't take if you want to sleep through class. Expects you to come to class every day. Makes you think. Much of this class can be used outside of school. You only will get out of it what you put into it.
memorized daily spiel very well, was very incorrect on certain facts, but unimportant, easy if you put a little effort into it
Not soo good at 8am.. speaches can get a little drowned out and dull at times.. Most people sleep though class whether in the lecture hall or in their beds. If you miss weekly quizzes lets you make them up, no questions asked.Cribs will give you all the answers for quizzes. Very Cribable.
This guy has a very interesting voice, but can put you to sleep. This is an easy class. They just make you take to weed out all of the dumb freshman who will never make it through.
YAWN, but he is REALLY knowledgable about in this topic, the answers are ON the tests just listen a little to what he says and you will have no problem. cribs can help a little but don't rely on them. he kinf of reminds me of the crabs from Monsters inc. he even sounds like him... just a thought.
boring, but teaches exactly what will be on tests
Good techer. Just pay attention and you can do good. Use cribs, very very helpful.
He's a great professor. The class was not my interest at all, but when he relates what he talks about in class to the real world you get a good perspective on what he means. He's a very cool and easy to talk to. Use cribs, but don't rely on them too much (Come on definitions and pictures for an exam shouldn't be that hard).
This is a class in manufacturing, yes, but it's also a class in Kettering. It teaches you Kettering basics - cribs, study habits, etc in exactly the fashion emulated by many of the other profs.
No Comments
Good professor. Although the class may be less than exciting, he does a good job relating the subject to real world examples to keep you interested. Quizzes are straight-forward and there shouldn't be any surprises.
Great prof. the class covers a ton of material and somehow he is able to fit it all in. lots of quizes, no suprises. anyone can get a good grade if you put some effort in to the class.
Makes good analogies and explains things well. Really try to learn this stuff cause you will most likely use it at your coop. Cribs are readily available and very helpful. Talk to him if you need help. He is believe it or not a nice guy.
holy crap, someone that cares!
This man is the reason i didnt look like an idiot my first day of work! Take it from me....what he teaches will be in every day of every year of your schooling and work. His class is the foundation to understanding anything kettering tries to teach.
Easy Class
Very easy professor. Explains things well, and cares about student performance. Study before tests and quizes, and you'll do fine.
Not a bad grader, much easier than most any other prof. teaching IME 100, a little long winded but otherwise a good prof.
1 minute, 1 minute remaining! Not a bad prof. Lots of memorization for quizzes. Got a good grade.
His quizzes are badly written, tries to trick you. Pay attention in class, I have used this material at work more than any other class.
his notes have terrible pictures and don't always explain properly, look everything up online and understand it that way, combine with cribs and you will ace this class easily.
Memorize the meaning of the words for the quizes and you will ace the class. If you don't understand something look it up online and you will do fine.
He's a great man. He tells you to use cribs to help you study, so do it.
He's a nice guy and wants you to do well, but if you are a CE or EE student, lecture will bore you to death. USE CRIBS and you'll get an easy wag booster.
Amazing guy. Great lab teacher. Very helpful if you go talk to him during office hours. Really nice if he likes u. BUT, the MOST BORING LECTURE CLASS EVER!!!! Take a pillow or a computer!! If you even have a trace amount of intelligence, USE CRIBS!!!!!
Easy class, nice prof. Tries to keep a boring class interesting and is a pretty funny guy.
Do not take the 8am class. You will not be able to stay awake. His tests are very cribable, so just study the night before and you should be fine.
Riffe is extremely easy. All you gotta do is come to class and study his cribs and you will pass. He takes attendance by passing back the quizzes and whose ever he gets back, they're marked absent. You take the quizzes on the day he doesn't pass quizzes back so attendance is mandatory. He is boring, but he is the best IME 100 professor to have.
Very easy class. There's a test every Wednesday, but if you study the cribs, you should be in the clear. Attendance isn't mandatory, but when he goes over the material, he adds useful information in that's not in the class manual. But overall, very easy class, and Riffe is a knowledgable guy and has lots of stories.
CRIB!!! Study crib and section for 30 mins prior to class and you'll get a good grade.
ONE MINUTE. YOU HAVE ONE MINUTE REMAINING.
Professor knows subject well. If you find cribs and study from them, you will do fine in the class.
Study the cribs. You're good to go. ONE MINUTE, ONE MINUTE REMAINING.
Couldn't stand him, but he was super easy. Study 3-5 cribs before every quiz and you'll do fine. Did other homework through every class and still pulled off an A. No homework besides 1 paper so you have no excuse to not study. Super boring and he didn't like me for being late to class 1 day though.
great prof
