Very boring prof. Does not respond to emails even before the exam period. Prefers to give your essay(35%) back after you write the final exam, btw took 5 weeks to mark the exam. Took 9 days to post the final mark, 2 days past the posting dealine. Rants about Celine Dion. No passion for poli sci, I do not reccommend him.

He is a great teacher and he really explains things well. Sometimes the classes go slowly because he caters to the slackers, but his classes are interesting and laid back. Lots of group discussion in class which is great if people want to talk, and painfully slow if no one has done the readings. Took a second class with him because of his teaching.

Would take again

How could you not like his class? He actively encourages conversation and reflection, and is pretty clear in his expectations. Some people in the class could be a bit more professional, but he can only do so much. POLI 2122 is also a really fun course. PM Trials in particular are great. I would highly recommend!
