Despite what you read on this site, Reiser is a decent teacher. Other students may forget that this is a COLLEGE course and won't always be a cakewalk. And still, it kind of was. Reiser gives long, somewhat dull lectures but she is well informed and brings physical examples into her teaching. She is pretty well organized (Her lectures are up on D2L) and gives moderately challenging assignments, but they are few and infrequent. Basically if you want a class where you sit down, take notes and that is all you do, this is a good class. Her tests are multiple choice and easy if you review the subject matter, which she gives you. No trick questions. She is very fair/flexible and outright with her expectations. She does not do a lot of in-class discussion, however.
