Rich was my favorite professor I have ever had here at UW. He is the most kind person (also pretty goofy) and he really wants students to succeed and gives us all the tools we need in order to do so. He made challenging material really easy to digest and his lectures kept me engaged and excited to learn! Also, he brought us donuts to lecture once.

Rich is by far my favorite professor at UW Madison!! He's such an engaging and entertaining lecturer and truly cares about his research and making sure students understand the material. I loved learning from him and highly recommend this course for anyone interested in oncology. A+++
