  AMAZING PROFESSOR! I took the once a week, 3 hour class and while at first it is a challenge, this class opens your eyes to the real world and safety. There are 10 discussion q's, 5 quizzes, and three projects (super easy if paying attention). Camera must stay on and be prepared to participate if called on. Take if needing a UD class! Book is free!

  i took Dr.Riich's online media/violence class (now comm 425) and he is an absolutely amazing professor! despite the class being long, it goes by fast since you're learning lots of interesting and helpful info! not many assignments either, no tests only couple quizzes, simple discussion q's assignments and 2 presentations (1 is the final)

  COMM 430 Online only. I was nervous about what to expect from this course but it turned out to be a super manageable class the only thing is you have to do off site research and observation work. There's a quizzes based on articles each week. The assignments were nice because we could write in bullet points. There was a paper at the end.

  COMM 425 - Comm & Violence was eye-opening. It did not feel like work, more like a life class. You learn so much about yourself and safety. Take it to live a better life! You will not regret it. Short quizzes, short engagement exercises, some discussion question's. Two big projects that are doable. Pay attention and you pass.

  This class was amazing! took it as a one week synchronous class. At first, you feel like you took on more than you could handle, but then it quickly becomes a fun and doable course. You learn so much! Participation and attendance is key! Most, if not all, your assignments are done during the zoom class. This one gets you out of your comfort zone.

  I took this class during winter break and I don't regret it one bit. If you have the chance to have him as your professor I suggest you sign up for his class. The workload was manageable considering we did a whole semester in a week. He was super fun, energetic and made the time pass by very quickly. 10/10 as a class and 10/10 as a teacher!

  COMM 425 (COMM&VIOLENCE):100% recommend this class, there is no class out there like this. Dr. Rich is an amazing professor who cares about his students. You will learn a lot from this class, it'll change your whole perspective of life. Threat assessment is important. There is a good amount of reading for this class, but all of it is a good read.

  This is a very difficult class, I have taken it twice. Be warned that this is a test heavy course. Class is essentially made up of three exams or an option of the three exams plus weekly quiz and discussion posts. First time I took the class I selected the exams only option- obviously that didn't work. Now taking option 2 and still struggling!

  Was worth my one week out of my winter break and actually had to stay for the whole 9am-6pm class time, I highly recommend if you want 3 credits in a short amount of time. The group project was also the main part of the class. Dr. Rich actually discusses the differences taking it during COVID because of the less amount of workload vs. in-person.

  Professor Rich definitely gives great and inspirational lectures. The class isn't an easy A class, rather you only get graded by 3 exams, so don't fail them. The exams as well as the discussions in class are based on the readings so make sure you do those. Not the easiest class but you will definitely learn a lot with him!

  Dr. Rich is a nice guy & tells interesting stories but 90% of the exam questions are not covered in class. This means you have to teach yourself difficult concepts covered in the textbook and hope that you understand it enough to pass exams that are written to trick you. He is also not in office hours so if you have questions, you are on your own.

  honestly interesting lectures but his tests dont make sense and you have to teach yourself the material. Nothing from class lecture is on the tests and you have to read. plus option 2 is better but way too much work that is stressful when the quizzes are timed. save yourself and dont take him

  I would not recommend taking him for COMM 330. I think he is a well-intentioned dude, and a captivating story teller, but the whole semester I just felt like he didn't really want to be teaching this class. Was also very unorganized and unprofessional at times. I also basically taught myself the whole semester. Take him, but not for this class.

  I recently took Comm 352 which is a 5 day class and it was intense in a good way. Since this class is only 5 days long the hours were brutal. Even with the long hours this class has been one of my favorite classes at Long Beach State. The workload is very manageable 4 discussion post, 3 story telling performances and a group project.

  One of the best professor's to take in CSULB! Took Dr. Rich during Winter, which was only 5 days long (9am-6pm). He is very good on feedback and just wants to success for all his students. You do have to work for your grade by participation and performances, but definitely worth it!

  Dr. Rich is an amazing professor! This class was only 5 days, but by the end of it you'll wish it was longer. He makes the class easy to follow, and lots of fun! He gives a lot of breaks to help get through the long day. Most of the class was focused on the group project which is easy. By far this is my favorite class I have taken!

  Dr. Rich's storytelling course is an experience you won't forget. The one week course might be nerve-racking at first but there are lots of breaks to help you get through each day. There is a positive classroom environment and it encourages you to step outside of your comfort zone without judgement. Don't pass up an opportunity to take this course!

  I took this class for May Intersession (Online due to COVID-19) and I got to say I actually ended up really enjoying this class. So far it's been my favorite class at CSULB. It might seem intimidating because it is only 5 days, BUT DON'T BE AFRAID OF THAT! YOU CAN DO IT! You'll build great friendships and Dr. Rich will help you however he can!!

  Dr. Rich is AMAZING and his class is really fun! I took his first online class for summer 2020 due to COVID-19 and honestly he made the so much fun! It sounds like a drag but it wasn't. The class is tough but honestly just be positive and you can do it! Best class I have ever taken. First class I loved ALL my classmates! SO SO COOL!

  Dr. Rich changed my life with his lectures. He is a very knowledgable person and takes care of his students. Storytelling was only 5 days during Winter, it was a lot of work but it was worth it. I highly recommend taking him for 352 and 330. I believe he is the best professor at CSULB.
