Terrible class, terrible professor. He may be a nice guy, but i dont even know if he knows anything about sociology. If you want to take a class where you do nothing and learn nothing take him for SOC 100. If you want actual knowledge, look elsewhere

As a SOC major, it was a disgrace to see this class taught so poorly. I was told ahead of time I'd really be disappointed, but that really was an understatement. Picks favorites, selective, and can get really nasty to some groups. Oh, and the groups? You have one bad member, guess what, YOU'LL ALL FAIL because of it. I almost did. Good luck.

If you go to every class you get an A. You do a bunch of group projects and don't learn a thing. It's a great GPA booster. Definitely take this class

hes oblivious to other peoples concern

worst prof I have ever had. too much work

If you actually like to learn, his class is annoying and awful. He goes over the material but doesn't give tests. I've literally learned nothing in his class but how to sleep with my eyes open. He is the worst teacher I've ever had.

Canterbury is the most boring professor I've ever had. He claims you need to do the readings assigned but you don't. You only have a couple assignments but they're all papers and they aren't easy. I don't recommend taking this teacher if you actually want to learn something about sociology.

He is the least helpful teacher I've ever had. The class itself was absolutely pointless and we learned nothing. He would have discussions about the most basic yet irrelevant concepts and pitched them to us as if we couldn't grasp them on our own, which was insulting. Worst class I've ever taken.

Get the books, but he LITERALLY reads word for word from them. 4 Major Grades, all group work. Just remember that "Sociology is a Science." He's really hard to understand and he can be pretty... opinionated. Take that as you will

Talks about the most irrelevant stuff that has nothing to do with the class. It's hard to follow along with what he's talking about. Wastes class time. Incredibly boring. I wouldn't recommend taking his class

Assigned 2 books that were basically identical, just by a different author, so wasted money and time. Only grades 4 things. If you don't do subheadings properly for the research paper, auto C. He does not read the work. No feedback. Nothing. Lectures word-for-word from books. Doesn't know how to answer questions or he goes around them.

Professor Canterbury tries to be engaging but it mainly comes out offensive and rude toward people who have a different view than himself. He lectures directly out of the book, but never gets through all the material so you definitely need the book. Exams are just definitions straight from the book, so thats easy, but he is just awful.

He's literally the most annoying professor. He says offensive things solely to get reactions out of the class. The TA helped me more in the class than he did

Yikes. He said a lot of offensive things in class that shouldn't be said. His TA kept him in check by telling him not to say offensive words and phrases. The TA was amazing! I personally would not take him again. He was awful.

I took this class for my major, and I tried to be optimistic after reading some of the not so good reviews left on here, but I really can't say anything good about this professor. He makes rude and offensive comments, does not do a great job with lectures, barely answers emails, and is an impossible grader. Avoid this class if it all possible.

Professor Canterbury is someone that I recommend you stay away from. Very rude and opinionated, and cannot disagree with him, or you will be picked on. A very poor grader when it comes to assignments, and all the tests are just definitions from the textbook for an easy A. He repeats the same things every class, and gets boring. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

He says controversial and insensitive things to get people upset so they will participate in class. His tests are super easy but grades really hard on the essay. But if you are going to sleep during class set an alarm for the end so you wake up before it's over. He will leave the Webex on to see how long it takes you to wake up and log off class.

Awful professor. Is blatantly rude when you ask him to be more specific with anything. Called out a student for failing the past two semesters with him and not to ask why they have an F again after this semester. I would like to also include he is not accommodating at all, we are literally going through a pandemic, learn to be more understanding.

Will not help through emails. Though the class is easy you will not learn anything unless you read the textbook.

This professor may be very easy to pass, but being a social work major I learned nothing from this class. You read the text and that is all that is discussed in class, he just stands there and reads it aloud. Does not help with any clarification and when asked questions in class makes students feel dumb to be asking.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS! There is a difference between being funny & being straight-up rude & Canterbury is the latter. Expect one-word responses to emails/concerns. Had a family emergency that caused me to miss the midterm and he failed me on it citing "there was nothing he could do." He messed up grading our final paper and refused to fix it.

DO. NOT. TAKE. (seriously). He does not give anyone above the grade of a 93 and if you want to be graded fairly, it won't be with canterbury. You will have the worst time having this professor accommodate any personal needs and that's if he gets back to you within 4 days of sending an email. Very offensive/disrespectful in-class conversations.

AVOID THIS PROFESSOR AT ALL COSTS. This is not a class as much as a 50-minute conversation where if you don't read the long passages then he will bully you and not stimulate the students. For the work, he basically wants to read the textbook and if he says to do a one-page summary don't even bother because he won't grade all the work he assigns.

Canterbury was beyond a character of a professor. The only assignments were quizzes and a final 10 page paper, and the quizzes are strictly vocab right out of the book. Class time is taken up by talking about irrelevant topics that are often beyond controversial and rude. He's not afraid to call out students and put them in uncomfortable positions.

Extremely immature and inappropriate. Class discussions are unproductive and he will make you uncomfortable for sitting in the front of the class. If you participate once he will depend on you for the rest of the semester. Purposely says controversial things in order to get a reaction out of anyone he can. Easy work though

He had a weird attitude. All they do is read from the book and note down vocab terms it was a very disappointing class. Would not take it again it was uninteresting and a drag to get through. your grade is based on several big tests on the book's vocabulary. final is a 10 page paper that you decide the topic of, which he gives little guidance on.
