Pretty strict in terms of class etiquette but his lectures absolutely the best I have ever attended
Best Lectures I have ever been to
He is honestly my favourite prof so far. He takes dry subjects and makes them interesting. I didn't buy the textbook but I've went to every lecture and I haven't struggled with content at all. He's hilarious and I would definitely take his class again.
Sends emails with information on what to study for tests, very funny and seems to care for all students marks.
He is one of the best prof's to teach econ; who actually cares about the students and is quite hilarious with his examples. His lectures are quite entertaining and make you want to learn. Overall an amazing prof!!
Young guy, always makes lectures interesting, good talker and very easy to listen to.
Best teacher I ever had.
Prof Christian is the best prof to take ECON with, you just need to go to the lectures since all the midterms/exams are based on the lectures. Also go to your tutorials. Going to his lectures never felt as if I had to go, I always loved to go since they were so lively! Also his review is basically the exam/midterm, hence DO THEM! Book is useless.
Go to the lectures/Tutorials and youll get an easy A, makes economics super easy. Midterms and Exam based on Assignments and LECS. Best Undergrad Econ Prof! His Lectures are so funny never a dull moments!
The best prof I had out of the 5 courses I took in first semester. He knows how to engage students, throws in jokes (that are actually funny), and gives clear indication of what will be on the exams. As long as you show up, take good notes, and work on the materials assigned (which are not many), you'll have a guaranteed pass and even high 80's.
Best choice for Micro, especially if your a first choice. Don't bother buying the textbook, go to the lectures and the tutorials!
Really really good. He teaches well and has practical examples for the concepts he is teaching. He is able to keep the whole class engaged and learning. Be sure to take him if you can!
Made my first year a whole lot easier. Prof. Cornelius genuinely cares for his students and makes lectures entertaining. 100% would recommend for Micro
I took his intro to micro in Jan 2018. I never missed a single lecture because Prof. Cornelius is charismatic and has a great sense of humour. It's easy to score in his class because he tests you on exactly what he teaches and his lectures are well planned and fun. I never used the book, I just went to the tutorials and attended the lectures.
I actually look forward to his lectures! He is in an amazing speaker and has a very well carried voice that is awesome to listen too when he is hitting you with some deep knowledge. He is a wise man who loves Perrier and its always a good time.
The professor teaches in a way that is fun and engaging, by asking questions and going in depth during lectures, as well as making jokes and explaining material in more depth than the textbook.
Prof Christian is hilarious and keeps you engaged throughout the lecture. He is quite passionate and it shows with how well he can explain tough concepts. He does it elegantly. His assignments are also pretty easy; most can take like 20-30 mins to do.
Amazing teacher. The textbook is not needed, the midterms, assignments and exam are based on his lectures.
Hilarious, great prof.
Amazing, funny jokes, very chill
Really funny, and makes the class go by fast. Must attend as he teaches from outside the textbook, that being said the textbook is not mandatory but can help with further explanations and examples. The midterms and exams are all m/c and almost the same as the practice tests. Would take another class of his.
Cornelius Christian is the best teacher I have had in my life. He is very entertaining and if you enjoy his lectures and want to attend every single one! His course is the best and I would take another Economics course just to learn from him.
Prof Christian is the best prof ever! He has the best lectures, with the best examples. The work can be kind of repetitive though, its like you learn the same thing all semester, so get used to doing supply and demand curves. He's very loud and makes class enjoyable, even if you have a 3 hour economics lecture. Make sure you do good on final, 50%.
AMAZING, never seen a prof like Cornelius in my life. He takes the class to a whole new level, talks about drugs and dead chickens lol. He knows how to teach and that his specialty. BROCKS best PROF and thats a fact. OXFORD graduate, with a brain that knows everything. THREE HOUR LEC is worth it cause he gives 1 HOUR BREAK TOTAL! Cornelius LEGEND
The best prof you can have for ECON 1P91, he likes to engage with the students while giving lectures and makes alot of jokes. He knows his stuff well and is very easy to talk to and approach. Exams and midterms were fair, just do his practice exams and go over your notes.
Amazing professor. No need to buy textbook; notes are enough to have an A in the course. Attendance is mandatory because midterms and final exams come from lectures. Cool and very intelligent professor. Awesome teaching. Complete all assignments for tutorials as the midterms come from there as well. Will definitely take another course with him.
Wish I had him in every ECON classes. MUST TAKE HIS CLASS! You will love it and be inspirational
Great prof, great lectures, great jokes
Good prof, he likes to make students think beyond school and about life. The material is good and he is extremely engaging. He also likes to come after disruptive students which is a big plus in my book.
Best of all.
Really funny prof. Make sure to do the practice midterms and practice exam before writing the actual test because a lot of questions are taken from them.
Cornelius is such a great prof! I wish I could have him for all my classes. He made class so interesting! Econ isn't that hard of a course, but you did have to show up to take the notes cause he doesn't post them online. He made having classes on Monday nights suck way less.
Amazing Prof; great lectures. Mandatory to attend; all test and exams are vbased on lectures solely. Don't skip class; it is a class you will love to attend even if you are tired or feeling down. Will definitely take other classes from him.
Too many inappropriate anecdotes. Lacks substance.
Some funny lectures but very repetitive and sounds like he recycles material a lot. He also gets into politics a little too much but hey that's life right? Pretty easy class overall so I recommend.
The best prof/teacher I've had in all of my life! He shows evident passion for what he does, and he manages to make 8 am Monday lectures exciting and fun. Textbook is helpful, though not necessary if you attend the lectures and take notes. The midterms are easy and are all multiple choice, and so is the final. 10/10 Would recommend to everyone!
Most amazing professor I have came through. None of his lecture was boring. Would recommend.
Very engaging and interesting lectures, but the class isn't extremely easy like people say and does require a decent amount of work if you aren't a business major
He's funny and takes care to help students.
Professor Christian is one of those professors who keep you engaged in the lectures (even if its @ 8 am), its an easy grade as long as you pay attention and the material covered in the class is actually interesting. The exam review for both the final and midterm are the exact same on the actual test.
Simply incredible! Manages to make 8 am Monday courses fun and interesting and extremely helpful when it comes to exam reviews and easy exams. Book is helpful though not necessary, just make sure to attend the lectures as he discusses stuff not in the book
This guy is the G.O.A.T, my favorite professor so far! He relates the content to real life very well. He also is very entertaining and knows how to keep our attention. I've felt that I have learned a lot better from his teaching then other professors.
Best prof/teacher I have ever had. Everyone in Brock must take a class with him
Amazing Prof!! As long as you attend the lectures, you will easily pass the course. He makes the course's content interesting which makes it easy to understand.
The absolute worst professor I have ever had. He does not use any of the university's forums, as apparently thinks he is too good for it. He barely covers the course content in his lectures, and what he does cover is not thoroughly explained at all. The assignments essentially set you up for failure; expectations are not explained at all.
Dr. Christian is a great and funny professor. I think he could do a better overall job at explaining more detailed concepts but if you pay attention in lectures and review your notes youll pass. Genuinely made my learning experience fun. His assignments are somewhat difficult but not impossible.
overall great prof. makes lectures engaging when the content could easily be boring. He's strict about phones and talking in lectures but is very generous with breaks, so its easy to stay focused while he teaches. I bought the textbook but the material is identical to the lectures so you don't really need it. 100% my favorite prof!
Really interesting guy and makes lectures fun
A very solid prof. He makes his own midterms, so you need to attend lectures to understand some of the material during exams. He also likes to make you think outside the box for both assignments and exams.
Honestly the best prof I've ever had. Puts a lot of effort into his lectures and makes them engaging even if they are boring topics. One of the most engaging classes I've ever been in despite it being fully online.
10/10 prof, makes sure he answers all the questions asked. Overall funny, makes sure to make lessons as clear as possible, and makes class feel like less of a chore!
This man is a GOAT, made a course that I went into with minimal interest amazing. I highly recommend taking a course with him. Hands down the best teacher/professor that I've ever had.
Tests are fair and based predominantly on lecture material. The textbook is also beneficial for assignments and tests. He makes lecture entertaining and is very passionate about the subject. I took this class as an elective and did not regret the decision.
He's an awesome prof. Send him memes and you'll be his favourite. The assignments are more difficult than the material in the lectures, but they're all common sense (based on the material). His midterms and exams are very fair. The only prof that cares about his students and material.
It's my first year at university and out of all my profs he's the one that stands out. He goes the extra mile and he is fun to listen to. He will make you work for the grade but if you apply yourself getting an A is no problem. Zero complaints about this guy.
Amazing class. Kept everything very engaging and entertaining.
The assessments for this course were all fair and in the students' interest to an extent. The material covered were found in his lectures, textbook and occasional links/updates on his website. Overall, he was a good, passionate and alluring professor. I don't think the TAs get enough credit for the part that they play, so shoutout to them.
Professor was absolutely wonderful. He found a great way to balance making his course enjoyable while still ensuring that we learn all of the important topics. By no means would I say the course is easy, but it is definitely a course worth-while. He really is a strong teacher and if you get the chance to take the course, I would 100% recommend!
I created this account for the sole reason of leaving this comment. Professor Christian is the best educator I have encountered. You can expect relentless passion and provocative intellect. His assignments are challenging (I cursed his name plenty of times) but meaningful. I intend to actively seek out his other courses, worth his weight in gold.
He actually put effort into online courses, did the lectures on YouTube so that he could interact with the live chat, wish all professors put in the same effort to online classes as he did.
only talks about drugs and guns his whole lecture. 0/10 would not recommend
Being a first year student, Professor Christian made a great impact on learning. He is an amazing professor that keeps you engaged and teaches you the content in a way that is memorable and easy to understand. He is funny and truly a great human being. He loves what he does and wants everyone in his class to succeed.
Very strange guy, unlike any other professor I've had but is clearly a nice guy. Even through online lectures, I can see his passion for the material which is great to see. He also wants to see his students succeed which is more than I could say for a lot of professors. Definitely a character, but an overall enjoyable class.
He's a memelord, rickrolled the entire class on the day of his final assignment. Really motivating, the best speaker i've come across, at brock. His classes are NEVER boring. 10/10 would take him as a prof any day. What a great guy.
By far the best professor I have had. Makes lectures enjoyable and provides clear examples and questions that gets you excited for the next lecture. Well-versed in meme culture including Rickrolling the class and doing a meme review in the final lecture. While he is strict on grading, his lectures adequately prepare you and makes this course fun.
The level of energy he brings to a lecture is more than any other prof combined. makes a 3 hour lecture feel like 30 minutes. He teaches everything you need to know in the lecture so don't bother with the textbook. If every prof was like him, university would be a breeze. Just be ready to take over Constantinople.
Professor Christian is a very good prof, his lectures were the highlight of my dad. They were always so fun and enjoyable to be in.
Best professor his lectures are so entertaining. Also most of the material for assignments, midterms and final exam come from his lectures so its important to attend his lectures. He teaches in a clear and informative way. If you attend lectures you're bound to succeed. GOAT prof!
The single most interesting professor I've ever had. he will be missed.
Probably the best professor i had this semester.
Best prof I've ever had. I had him in my first year and he made everyone feel welcomed and we all enjoyed his lectures. He always listens to what everyone has to say. He gave real-world examples to help us understand the lesson more. Honestly, so many amazing things to say about him. BEST PROFESSOR EVER!!
He is the best prof at Brock.
Great lecturer, make sure to attend however, notes are not posted
He likes to brush over subjects that are in the weekly assignments. This professor didn't use Brightspace and did not post any marks prior to the exam. In addition, Cornelius is not accommodating in the slightest and he doesn't respond to health services emails regarding his students situations. He the most difficult professor I had all semester.
Good
Awesome professor
I never leave reviews for prof but this guy is unreal. He commands large auditoriums like no other and makes the material fun and engaging which is extremely rare for brock.
Avoid this professor like a plague. He told us textbooks are not necessary but his lectures are mostly nothing you can reference to later. Does not allow accommodation and is very difficult with test questions.
Great prof who can grab everyone's attention in the blink of an eye. Keeps students engaged with breaks and engaging lectures.
An amazing, charismatic professor. Explains things very well, I always wished his 3 hour lectures were longer. Course is fair if you take notes and do the assignments. Highly recommend taking any of his courses, even as electives. It was the only lecture I looked forward to!
He is very annoying at lectures (doesn't use the microphone in a large room). He also gives a 5 min break every .5h, and a 30 min lunch break in the middle. I would rather just get out an hour early each time. His slides do not make any sense if you don't hear him talking about them.
This class was ok. He did not use a microphone and yelled for the whole 3 hours. would give useless breaks which took my attention away from the lectures. Very cocky man
His class is very engaging, and he is a man who is extremely knowledgable about his subject.
Professor Christian had engaging lectures where he asked people didn't go on their phones and called you out if you did. His assignments were fairly easy as well as the midterm/exam. Go to his office hours for clarification, he is a down to earth guy. He does not use the textbook, rather just take notes on what he says (even the random stuff!)
Best proof for entry level economics, must take him of doing 1p91 or 1p92 Econ
Funniest professor at Brock and lectures are very engaging despite being 3 hours. Tests can be difficult because you'll get blindsided by the trick-ish questions. Overall great prof but his "jokey" demeanor can make you feel unprepared for the serious tests. Great guy, just study more than you think.
his lectures are truly some of the most random lectures ive ever heard, he is hilarious. Professor Christian is incredibly passionate about his work, as long as you go to the lectures youll do good
