Lecture and reading heavy, you have to either go to lecture or watch his lecture uploads to do well in the class. Class consists of 3 papers each worth 25% and the other 25% is participation in discussion, easy to get an A if you do well on papers and go to discussion.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/178113","quality_rating":5.0,"difficulty_rating":2.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:09:59.543149+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTQxMTQxMTcw","source_instructor_id":"rmp:178113","instructor_name":"Richard Keller","course_label":"ENVIRST213","course_id":"ENVIRST/HISTSCI 213","course_uid":"course_75d03a2b71c2c6ebb7cd9183","review_date":"2025-05-03 01:56:05 +0000 UTC","comment":"i loved this class! dr. keller is insanely knowledgable and engaging as a lecturer. also, every lecture was streamed online and absences for being sick are always excused which was awesome. overall this course was very interesting, well-structured, and not very difficult (but still encouraged reflection).

He takes material that doesn't seem interesting and makes it so engaging (the lecture flies by because of this too). I'd absolutely recommend taking any of his courses.
