Great teacher and great guy. I really enjoyed his class, and he challenged my thinking and my opinions. Highly recommend taking this class if you have an interest in learning new arguments and opinions on whether or not God exists. Very cool class, and the final was a sherlock holmes investigation mystery. A lot of fun my dudes.

Dr. Stoody was a fine professor. The expectations were clear and easy to obtain. The most difficult part of this course the paper where he graded quite tough. The final was strange and the grading was unclear.

He is so nice, and doing well on lecture. Section is optional, TA is great and do not need to buy books.

Rick is a good professor, esp. at the beginning, but he needs to figure out a better pace. Deductive reasoning got really hard really fast and it was VERY confusing, had to learn it on my own. Had class during his OH which was lame. DON'T buy the textbook - use library copy for HW. This class is challenging if you're not a math person, but doable.

He's really good and entertaining. He can explain the subject material well and give students a good understanding. Overall the class is enjoyable and the tests aren't too bad. Ask questions during lecture if you have any, he's happy to discuss.

I could repeat the other reviews, but it'd be redundant. This guy deeply cares about our learning and he's in his own league as a teacher
