Jokes r some wat funny, class discussions r great

funny

Excellent teaching/dialog. Ignores pointless questions asked by students. Nice!

AMAZING prof!! Really enjoyed his class! Made up for Demarco's stupidity!

Arrogant to a fault...but at least he admits it. His tests are simple stuff.

easy tests, assignments can be done 30 mins before class

Very well organized and prepared for lectures. Easy assignments/tests.

Great prof! Very creative with presenting the course information.

thought-provoking dialogue. He's not arrogant, you're just stupid.

the guy's voice might be a bit boring but his dialogue is pretty engaging if you're interested in the course.

got me hooked in soc... he's hilarious and enjoys the class... he is arrogant but i love it!! wicked!

he is the best prof ever,so fricikin cool

Somewhat repetitive and can be condescending at times, but interesting, engaging material. The tests were a bit tough, expecting you to remember minutae of something he glossed over two weeks previously.

A great guy, with interesting and thought provoking material but has hard assignments and his tests include little details of things we didn't cover in detail.

Very good lecturer with a sense of humour and a passion for world religions. Very approachable and helpful. I do agree that his tests tend to trick you with minor details. And what's the deal with giving exams at the END of a lecture??

Great Prof!

Clearly outlined lectures with lecture notes. Trys to throw in a joke here and there to switch things up. Tests are very reasonable and material interesting.

very helpful! lectures are sometimes boring but he tries to make it more interesting. I took this course as a bird course but much to my surprise it was harder than i thought it was. nice teacher.

Great prof: goes over exactly what is going to be on each test. Looks like he could be a part of Hair Club for Men. HOT! Some difficult/boring readings, but generally awesome :)

yeah, he's a hotty in that tweedy, Volvo-driving, bearded professor sort of way. snarky devil, which is appropriate for the course he teaches.

he is awesome, very good lecturer. he is passionate and knows his information! make sure to do the readings and attend lectures and you will do awesome!! no final for the class, wohoo!

AWESOME PROF, he teaches very well...very smart respect the man fully

An excellent person 2 b teaching a RS clas Doesn't shove one particular religion down ur throat.intellegent, knows his stuff funny genuinely nice person passionate. this course is reallllllyyy interesting.even life altering.dont worry not 2 difficult once u go 2 class & do the reading u will b fine.

Not a bad class, but not that interesting either. I didn't go to many classes and still got a fairly decent mark.

this course was harder than i anticipated.. still it is interesting.

Great prof, lots of jokes, lots of laughs. Interesting course material, and he thankfully doesnt push any religion over the others. Tests were pretty easy, but the assignments are marked pretty hard

One of the best profs i have had; Funny, tells jokes, intresting, easy to talk to, helpful...I took other RS classes hoping they would live up to this one, but they came no where close!

Very clear about what he expects on tests and papers, lectures are always interesting, and he is absolutely hilarious to boot. I'll certainly take another class of his.

Wonderful. He was an excellent prof, very clear on what he wanted especially on assignments which made it alot easier. I will deffinetly take another one of his classes.

He's a passionate teacher who actually cares about students - he wants you to do well and learn. Amazing teacher.

Class ended up being not what I expected, but he does give you a pretty clear view of what you should know for his tests/papers. No exam is a plus. Lectures a little dry, but otherwise it was a descent experience, for what was eventually offered. Don't believe the course description though...

Really good teacher. Tells funny jokes that I write in the margin so I can tell them to people later. He's good looking for an older man.

Good prof. Funny guy. If you do the readings you should do fine. Classes are kinda interesting but after an hour its hard to pay attention. Tests are ok.

he tries to be funny and can be at times

Overall good experience in his evil class. Content was interesting. A good speaker, with good clarity and for the most part gets to his point. Tests are overall easy if lectures were attended and readings read. No major surprises. Class recommended.

good prof - interesting enough - tests were easy but the TA's were pretty harsh in marking papers ...

Seljak was very funny, he tries to relate to his students. The content was interesting but it can be difficult because the terms are foreign. You should read the textbook and go to class.

The tests were super easy if u read over the lecture notes, but the assignment was marked completely unfairly. He jokes a lot his classes were interesting but, ya DO NOT blow off the assignment as easy just bcus the tests are. I'd take it again, the txt is good too.

I had him for Religions of the East first then took his Evil class just because he was teaching it - it turned out to be really interesting and thought provoking. I think he is a great professor.

He is entertaining in class, however he does mispronounce a lot of the names in the text. The term assignment is marked super hard. HINT: For the tests know his course slides very well, most of the questions are straight off his slides. Also if he shows a video take notes, he loves to put lots of questions from videos.

Not 100% on the course code, but it was Evil in winter 2006. This guy is great...I learned a lot. Tricky tricky with the changing of the course name to attract more attn! ...do the readings, respect his class (he once told a girl her outfit was too racy for class...my hero.

I took evil in fall 2005 and this was by far the easiest first year course I've ever done. 3 tests, no exam, no paper= golden! After i finished he sent asked me to switch my major to RS. Some of the books were dry and he expects a Christian background from his students and is unwilling to explain theology that should be aparent. I got 89 easily.

Evil was the birdiest bird course in the history of bird courses. Skipped about 70% of his lectures, still passed easily. Just skim over his lecture notes, and take guesses on the tests. He himself is rather funny, but the topics are so boring. Take evil if you want an easy pass with little work.

Evil was a good class. Try to make it to lectured for bonus questions on tests, but you can easily rely on his powerpoints (provided on ACE). You don't have to read everything, but make sure you do a good skim of the material for testing. Funny and entertaining in class, but can often get off track...which is sometimes a welcome break.

I took RS121 online but I must say it was my best class! Dr. Seljak possesses great clarity when explaining and pronounces words/names perfectly fine. He likes to relate things to the students level to make it easier for us to understand concepts. Slides are very important so make sure to pay close attention because questions are very precise.

Super interesting course although IT IS NOT EASY! Tons of readings and the tests are stupidly and randomly detailed. The material is very interesting (especially to a PACS major) but this is NOT a bird course. Way too hard to be first year. I'm third year and I had to work harder in this course than any other I was taking at the time.

He's an amazing prof. He's really funny as well. So helpful. Tough course because there are A LOT of readings. He's very fair in marking tests and assignments. He takes attendance (worth 10%) but it motivates you to come to class for easy marks.

Class is super easy if you actually attend class. There are a lot of readings but I didn't actually read them and I still got an A. Test questions are a bit ambiguous which makes them kind of hard. Two small assignments which are from the readings. Take this class!

Really good prof. Would make sure that material was understood before continuing. Although it is a Religious Studies course, the religious component is small. Which is nice. He is also easy to reach most of the time. Great Class!

The content is super interesting and you can get pretty much all of it just from the lectures. The larger reading for the final paper is extremely necessary to read, but I did well (high 80s) with only skimming one or two of the others

Love him! One of my favourite profs!

He is an amazing professor! I definitely recommend taking any course that he is teaching. His lecture slides are clear and concise. He is available after class and during office hours to answer questions or have a discussion on any topic.

Awesome professor, very knowledgeable. Took a few of his courses and wish I could take more. He's an awesome lecturer who keeps your interest and has many bad dad jokes up his sleeve. His classes are very enjoyable and he will respect your difference of opinion (at least to your face).
