Not nearly as bad as everyone thinks

Kind of boring but explains concepts well.

very interesting and focused, really connected through web ct.

Monotone, but a good prof. Great notes and very helpful, good at explaining concepts, reasonably easy exams.

Have you ever seen anyone sweat that much???!

Sure he's monotone, but his notes are good and his tests are fair. You say he sweats a lot? Do you think he can help that?!? Maybe he's just as embaressed about this as you are disgusted by it. lay off.

really knows his stuff but his voice puts u to sleep. u need lots of coffee

good notes, fair exam

very dull voice, hard to sit through an hour, but he does give good notes...the powerpoint slides are very helpful.

I thought he was awesome. His practice mid terms are extremely useful hint hint go to the workshops and you will basically have the exam word for word! Very easy class. If you listen to what he has to say it is not boring.

The best biol prof in the Fall 2003 Semester. His MT was a joke. Although his final was a little tough, it was so much easier than the other professors (no written essays, only MC and Short Answer). Study and you'll do fine. Got an A+ in the course

I liked the class. He was a great prof. I didn't find him boring at all. The midterm WAS deceptively easy. But the final kicked me all around.

ya, he's a bit boring, but he gets the job done. he tells you what you need to know, and explains everything until he makes sense. he's a good prof, if you can just drink a cup o' coffee before coming to class!!

Excellent prof

good prof, his teaching and explanation were very clear if you bothering listening. he did a good job. MT was easy, final's tough but fair. boter coming to class, and you'll do relaitively good.

He is an okay prof, exams are fair. Go to workshop and go to class, u will do okay.

I don't think Dr. Major is as bad as some of these reviews make him out to be. He is a tad boring- okay I needed to suck on hard candy to stay awake. But if you can stay awake, he gives you all the info you need to do well. Suck it up first years, the profs get far worse than him. Far worse.

Fantastic teacher. Great, clear, concise explanations. Interesting side notes. His notes are usually good and to the point, helpful for studying.

-great notes...mid-term very easy but final more difficult...talks a lot about alcohol for some reason which was funny at first but kind of got annoying...no need for textbook, he tells you everything you need to know!!! Overall great prof with experienced knowledge and who is very fair and honest!

Great guy, lectures are a little boring and I'd have to admit I feel asleep during some lectures. Exams are fair.

Very boring monotone voice, no need for text, everything from lecture notes which are on webct, this allows you to pay even less attention and get bored

Doesn't add a ton to the lectures in terms of required knowledge, but his anecdotes can be interesting/amusing. Midterm was a bit of a joke- we collectively slapped him there, but be warned: he slaps you back on the final. Seminars themselves are unnecessary, but look at the online seminar stuff.

He's not a bad lecturer, although his monotonous voice drove me to sleep a few times (& I usually never sleep in class). His exams ask for details, but it's just like any other biology-related class at University. He utilizes Powerpoint notes relatively well & you don't need to study the textbook.

this is a great prof; but not for everyone because you are expected to study what is covered in class. Exams are very fair and pretty easy if you study. I was very disappointed in my class average of 54%, i mean his class was a easy in comparison to prichard or harrington. His notes were kind of messy though - other than that thumbs up for sure

his powerpoint notes are helpful, but just make sure you SHOW UP FOR HIS CLASS, add to his notes, and really listen to him~ his mid-term was extremely hard, i don't think he really intend for us to have such a hard time on it. his final exam was easy. also, he will try to answer your questions to the best of his ability

Good teacher. All you have to do is print off his powerpoint notes before class, and show up. Write down everything he does, and study only the notes. There is no need to look into the textbook when studying. I remember him even telling us that too. Its only memorization.

interesting

O Magor, what a guy. This course was ridiculously easy. Midterm, if you studied at all was free marks, final was at worst, tricky. Good jokes, lectures are OK. This course, come to think of it, basically IS bio 30 AP. Pretty good pretty good.

He was an okay prof, but he was a bit monotonous (seriously ensure that you got a goodnight sleep before his class) and his overhead notes were definately unorganized. He was pretty easy to follow along with and he tried to make the material understandable. He was an okay prof. Nothing to panic about.

Well, just finished the final for this guy. Honestly, I learned the class from grade 12 and about 3 full-day study sessions after the term. The midterm was awful for most, 55% avg. Definately prefered Prichard in 108, I fell asleep in most of Magor's classes. Nice guy though, unfortunately.

the "grand-fatherly" type. Seems like a nice person but lectures are boring, monotonous. Only a bit of extra material taught in lectures on the exam. Can do well without attending lectures but following text. If you DO go to lectures, coffee is a MUST.

Magor was VERY monotone. Avoid at all costs. The material is good but the professor definitely isn?t!

Good Prof, and he knows his stuff, but lectures can be sometimes sleepy. He knows his stuff, and he wants to help, but sometimes he finds it hard to explain. The course material was pretty cool. The first time i found my eyes shutting in a lecture was in one of Dr. Magor's lectures. He is Okay when looking @ overall quality, but try to stay awake!

Seemed genuinely interested in the material he was covering. Spoke clearly and was willing to answer questions or clarify. Exams were short answer like all other higher level imin courses. Honestly a much much better imin prof than his wife. Overall I really liked him.

Really great professor. Yes, he is a bit monotone, but he is very interested in the material, which makes it much more exciting for everyone else. He is incredibly helpful when you ask him questions.

He is very helpful whenever you have a question inside or outside of class. His lectures are a bit dry but his exams are all out of the power point slides. His questions in exams tend to be very specific, though. Over all, Dr Magor was a pretty good professor.

I found Brad to be very enthusiastic about the material and funny, which made it fun to follow along in lecture and get into the content. Also, there isn't too much content since the course is half discussion of papers -- which was actually my favourite part of the class. They're easy marks if you can get them in the beginning of the semester.

I've been an insomniac for 3 years now. Overall it is usually a battle for me to get to sleep and normally takes 2-3 hours before I can finally pass out. However, I managed to video one of Magor's lectures and that puts me out like a light. This guy is incredibly monotone but overall his exams are fair and he's super nice down to earth guy.

I enjoyed Dr. Magor's section of IMIN 371 the most. Everything you will be tested on is right there on the lecture slide - no tricks. He does give you one question on the exam which is not from the lecture but he does mention it verbally and even tells you he will test that tidbit so listen carefully! Dr. Magor is very fair, helpful, and lenient.
