I loved him best professor if ever had.PHMD2310 2023-10-21 03:04:44 +0000 UTC
Prof. Rickles is really nice and is very helpful. He's not as always as clear as crystal but he is very approachable and listens well to concerns. Hard class b/c his tests can be confusing, but he is a good professor.PMDU310 2012-12-08 02:26:38 +0000 UTC
definately one of the worst classes i have taken at northeastern he is a nervous balding nerd who should not be teaching a class on communication he should be taking one. none of his colleagues even know him. the tests are too hard for a class of its nature and all the work done is alot of b.s. he tries to be funny but hes not he sucks avoid him.PMDU200 2006-08-19 01:24:12 +0000 UTC
Don't need to go to class. Lecture material has nothing to do with what he tests you on. Communications class with little elements of communication. Lots of old theories and acronyms to memorize. Tests are worded incredibly poorly and are not clear. Professor doesn't seem to understand material himself. Read textbook and hope for the best. SorryPHMD2310 2015-08-21 09:42:25 +0000 UTC
Basically the worst professor I have ever had. His tests are difficult not because they assess important concepts, but because they are poorly written. I am in complete agreement that he should be taking the class, not teaching it.PMDU310 2008-05-08 20:59:07 +0000 UTC
Rickles is awesome. I barely passed his communications class but I still think he is one of the best professors I've met here. A year later he still remembers my buddies and I and we chat whenever we see him on campus. The tests are very hard but between the paper and lab you should do fine even with poor exam scores.

Hes a really nice guy once you get to now him during office hours. He try to help. Although some times he is a bit unclear overall he is okay. I had worse...PMDU310 2006-05-17 17:11:01 +0000 UTC
This guys is an insecure. He trys to make you think he is cutting you all these breaks when in reality he's just trying to get your approval to stimulate his ego. He is a big baby! There's nothing more annoying than when he talks to you using his "active listening". No one ever speaks like that. Don't be fooled by what his coercion. He's a fool.PMDU310 2006-04-04 14:56:52 +0000 UTC
