Great guy, great teacher. He draws diagrams, great for visual learners. Caters to each student and gives good feedback. Great at answering questions thoroughly, but he does get bogged down trying to explain and sometimes makes it even more confusing than before haha. One of my fav teachers. So chill and cool. Put in effort and youll pass easy.

Even though there is a lot of writing and paper, what else is expected in a class like this? I never got a multiple choice test, instead it was all my own words and i preferred that. He offers so many opportunity's for you to raise your grade or do better in the class. Even if it was an online class his lectures online were amazing and helpful.

I enjoyed taking this class, but this professor is a tough grader. Make sure to complete your work and do your research. If you finish everything on time, you should be okay. He does provide feedback, which is helpful for future assignments.

Fraser is a really cool/caring dude. All he wants from students is to see some effort in their writings. If you do this then you will be good. Midterm/Final Exam are based on what you have learned over the past units. He also gives students extra credit assignments they can do (1-3 paragraph writings). Try not to stress like I did, enjoy the class.

Professor Fraser was great, I would definitely recommend taking his class. His lectures were engaging and the class was pretty stress free. Just show up to class, take notes, and write a few papers for a good grade. He wasn't a super tough grader and gave good feedback.

Wouldn't take again

He acted super nice until I saw my grades. For example, he would give you a 75 and be like "wow I would change this, this, and this" saying it kinda sucks, and end it with "BEST :))) <3, Fraser. Fake nice I guess. The work was confusing and boring and he graded not on my work but how he would've done the assignment, did not enjoy it AT ALL.

Good professor for Humanities as Humanities consists of a lot of writing. Somewhat a tough grader but is willing to work with you and let you redo assignments if you put the effort in. Not too many assignments. About 4 discussion posts and 3 essays. Recommend for Humanities.
