Ron has a great personality. I almost never missed class because I genuinely enjoyed it. His exams aren't too bad as long as you do the question stems. His powerpoints are kinda confusing but he does go over key reading points in class, so I almost never had to read. Id reccommend

Prof Rice is super great. Highly recommend you take his Comm 169 course. His exams follow his lectures closely, so if you take notes you can do really well on the exams. Also the reading is light and he goes over key points from reading during lecture. He's super funny and caring and just has a really good vibe. Take his class!

Rice is a very knowledgeable and funny guy. His Networks course was very heavy on the amount of material, but his STEM questions worked to guide the readings and gave a VERY good indicator of what would be on the tests. Though it may be daunting at times, the tests are straightforward and Rice makes class very enjoyable to attend. Take this course!

Professor Rice was great!! He throws a lot of dad jokes around during class that aren't too funny but if you get past the fact that they aren't funny and see him for his heart and effort, he is pretty funny actually. He really tries to get all his students involved and engaged and really appreciates class discussion. Overall, great professor <3

The readings are confusing and he's not great at explaining them in class. Attendance isn't mandatory and lecture slides are posted online. Although if you don't go to class the lecture notes are really confusing. The tests are also impossible. I barely passed this class and I put a decent amount of effort in. 0/10 would not recommend.
