Hard marker...But he makes class interesting. And yes, he sweats a lot. Ever heard of anti-perspirant?
Learned a lot from this professor, especially with thesis statements and literary discussions.
I think Mr Sudlow is the most different, most interesting proff I ever had. Seriously, his class (which is my optional) is the highlight of my day. His classes are nothing but boring and he teaches in his own unique style. Good example for other proffs.
It's hard to comment him with only one single word. 1. He is an actor, like Kim Carry. His teaching method is unique; 2. His class is vivid; 3. He is not easy-going and bad-tempered; 3. He is a HARD marker, if you want a high mark, keep far away from him.
He's very arrogant and has discrimination tendency. Absolutely a hard marker!
hes a good teacher but a hard ass marker! Be thankful if you get a C+
If you work hard, pay attention and attend class, you will have no problems. I thought Jon was a wonderful and charasmatic teacher who focused on the students that focused on him. I worked hard in his class and reaped the benifits.
Mr. Sudlow was the best teacher I've ever had, He was very helpful and I learned a lot from him. He made english intresting and exciting!
While a tough marker (if you do the work, you'll get at least a C-, but you're unlikely to get over B+), he is the one professor at Seneca who is a PROFESSOR and not a glorified HSteacher. Choose him if you want to LEARN and be treated like a college MAN.
He was a good teacher. He explains things well, hes very dramatic in explaining the stories. You will learn from his class. However he is a hard marker. If he says "next class inclass writing" READ THE STORY AND BE PREPARED!Be happy with a C in
Jon was by far the best teacher I had at Seneca! He is not a HARD marker, he's a fair marker! He was the only teacher in my life to give me anything better than a C in english. The was he teaches is extraodinary!!!
HE IS THE WORST TEACHER IN SENECA COLLEGE!! MAKE SURE U READ THE STORIES PRIOR TO COMING TO CLASS OTHERWISE HE WILL PICK ON YOU REALLY BADLY!!!! HE THINKS A GRADE OF A "C" is "GOOD" PALEAASEEEE A C GRADE IS NOTTT GOOD OKIE
he is very bad
too bad 2 give comments abt..
Doesn't explain given marks on assignments, no feedback whatsoever to help you improve. Doesn't give lessons on different writing styles or techniques. Didn't learn a thing from him.
I think he was awesome, i didnt get a very good grade, but it was my fault , as far as teaching his class was great to go to.
he is very hard and does not give hlepful comments and is also intimidating.
He marks way to hard! He gave me a D+ on a good paper and then couldn't tell me why. I dont like him at all and now I am stuck with him for the rest of the semester.
Excellent teacher. You actually learn from his classes. Just make sure that you do all your readings and work.
Jon is the WORST prof BY FAR he thinks he knows everything, which he doesnt, perhaps the biggest JERK in the school, he intimidates his students and questions you about why your were late. Definitelty switch out of his class if u get him
super intense
His favourite mark is a C
I am disapointed in him
I didn't like it.He is a hard marker
He marks very hard, his highest mark is a C (no joke). DOes not give reasons for marks given out. Overall not a good teacher. If u get him please change class immediately.
Yeah he is intimidating...he thinks he is the smartest guy in the whole world...he gets high from embarrasing people ..he doesnt even realizes that when he does it...but i like that he is tough cause he teaches well..i got a good mark ..but i ll never ever ever take any class with him...and i suggest u people do the same
You got to show him you want to do well anddo teh work to get the marks.. Other then his favorite mark being a C.

run away, run as fast as you can
Wow.. he is intimidating and very hard headed. He likes to own the classroom like its highschool, no talking, no drinking, no nothing but looking at him and writing. Quite possibly the biggest jerk i ever met in my life.
Hes a real dink. You can guarantee your gonna get a C with this man. He says he offers help but all he really does is make you feel stupid if your lucky enough to get some help. hes scarry and unfriendly. He freaks out if you come into class late and will NEVER let you eat or drink in class. I'm getting A's in everything except for my C from him.

Do yourself a favor, and GET OUT NOW..if you still have time. I dont care if you were getting A+++ in highschool english, you ARE going to get no higher than a C!! on ANYTHING, no matter how hard you try. and better yet- you get NO REASONS as to why your mark is that low. Total jerk. no talking-eating-breathing! NOTHING..be aware!
wow what can i say about Jon? he is a jerk who wants everyone to think like he does which in turn would cause them to write like he does "perfectly". you will only learn natural and logical order because thats the basis of life and lets not forget "god is distant and man is alone". Jon "the jerk" sudlow
Very **** Teacher.......Such a hard marker......If you want to work hard and get good marks....this aint the teacher you would want.....Marking scheme is made for university kids....
Worst teacher I have ever had! Highest grade he's ever given was a C. Best advice is to switch out of his class ASAP!!! Cannot teach for S#$t and acts like a complete pyscho freak during class time.
Everyone seems to be giving him negative comments.. I think he's a good teacher, he practically gives you the answers to teh assignments, they are discussed thoroughly in class. I was getting B's and B+'s and I was quite content. Just show upto class and take notes when he explains the assignment and you will do fine!
Exellent teacher. You'll be OK if you don't miss classes, make notes, read stories in advance, and do what he asks you to do, and he is verrrry clear about that. He cares a lot about format and less about content. Recommended for hardworkers and people who a eager to get value out of classes, not only marks. No matter if you are immigrant - he is f
Worst teacher. His purpose to be a teacher is not to teach but to make students suffer from him. He likes to see that. The highest mark is C no matter how hard you worked. In his world, there are no A & B. You learn nothing from him.
he is worst teacher. really hard marker. i never see like this teacher, but he is really funny, and interesting his class. But really hard marker. take other genet course.
He wants you to do well. He will tell the important point in the hand in assignment, test and exam. But he speak very very fast sometimes. He is easy to get impatient. * * Format * * Format * * I got an 'A' and you will too.
I don't like this professor at all :(. Sorry. Hope that's a clean comment, lol..
ROCK ON SUDLOW!! rock n' roll history, what a great gen-ed! good teacher but watch out, make sure you triple check that format on your essay.
He's either the best teacher ever or the worst teacher ever depending on your requirements of a teacher. He definitely knows his stuff and presents it in a interesting way. However, if you're horrible in english, you'll struggle--struggle yet grow rapidly if you're determined. He will not fail you if you show him you're a dedicated student.
teaches with passion....warning dont show up late or your getting called out...Rock on
worst teacher i have ever had
Jon is the best teacher i have EVER had through school. He pushes you to do the best you possibly can do. Thats what teaching is about. And if you work hard, you WILL get the grades. Everyone says he only gives C's but i got B+, so that proves that theory wrong. Hes great! and brings a lot of HUMOUR into the classroom. Fun teacher, I reccommend him
Not a good prof. Must do it his way or it's wrong. Not a fair marker. Marks at University level. If you're smart, good writer and can figure out exactly what he wants, you might get B+. He's one of those profs who never gives out A's. This class was the only mark below an 'A' that I received at Seneca. Take something or someone else.
Worst teacher ever. If he doesn't like you in the beginning of the class. You're doomed. Failed his class even though I was writing at a university level. ****.
The worst teacher I have. Very hard mark. Drop it now.
This is an only class I cannot get an A in Seneca
OMG Run.. Run... guy?s seriously worst teacher ever. First of all the guy thinks he's funny. Gets on top of tables and acts like a lunatic. He loves embarrassing students has no compassion what so ever.. Assignments have be done exactly the way he wants them otherwise he won?t even mark them. I dropped his class half way thru. Worst experience EVER
My God. English is something I've always enjoyed. I get B+ on all of my assignments. That's a good grade, but he says I'm one the best writers he's ever had. He wouldn't even give a good reason as to why he took marks off. He would only say "you got that because you're doing GOOD." Very enthusiastic, but the course is a trial.
unfairly strict.
OMG...RUN!...He sucks, and he does not know how to trust his students. If English is your second language, he will judge that you cannot write a correct sentence.
Biggest Beauty ever. Be in class on time and do what he asks.
Worst Prof ever! for the first time in my life, i was on an F in English...if it wasnt for the second half professor, id be doomed! i ended up with a C+ funny guy but super hard marker!
He was a great professor, and I would take a class with him again in a heartbeat. He clearly lays out guidelines for what he wants and all you have to do is follow them. I got A's in his class, so despite what is said on here, it is possible.
not helpful
He is a tough teacher, no doubt about that! But I learned a lot from Mr. Sudlow. He is strange and has some interesting mannerisms, but he can really teach you something about writing.
Good teacher
I was optomistic about English. Not anymore. Tells students that he can't fix 4 years of high school in 15 weeks. Even though my writing improved in his class, I consitently stayed at a C. When approaced about his marking scheme, he became flustered and left the class. Avoid if possible. He will probably grade my post. Stay away!!!!
Jon was an amazing teacher. His assignments were intimidating at first, but after he explains it there is no way not to know exactly what he expects from you. I learned a lot from him and my writing definitely improved! He was always very enthusiastic and made classes worth attending. I will take all the classes he teaches.
The best teacher I've ever had. Do exactly what he wants and you'll have A. I'm an ESL student and I finished (the semester) with A. He's not a hard marker, but he marks for grammar and spelling mistakes. Also, he allows you to bring your textbook on the final with your own notes inside! Amazing teacher!
Great teacher, i'm not going to lie. He acts all crazy sometimes, but that's his teaching style. Just follow his instructions and you will see your essays improve big time.
Even though I did find him to be a little bit of a harsh marker, I did thoroughly enjoy his class. The textbook was full of interesting stories. Make sure you do ALL the required reading because he does unannounced in-class writing throughout the semester. He takes attendance ever class, so make sure you show up. He can be little intimidating.
The biggest disappointment I ever had in college was being taught by this man. Stay in his class and suffer. I got a B even tho I bled every time I wrote an essay for him. screw you Mr Sudlow
If it's hard it's worth teaching. If you can't make it easy to learn then it's not....Uh I forgot his quote but Great guy. Funny. Sometimes he upsets me but that's cause I missed a few classes and well...it's the end of me. Don't miss class and you'll be okay. and he's not bluffing when he says to read the stories.
There is nothing nice that I can say about this parasite. This professor gave me a "D" on an essay my sister did for me when she goes to Laurier and gets straight A's. He doesn't teach well, he is cocky, and his only reason for giving a "D" is "Weak Analysis. I hope he finds himself a nice spot in hell, because that is where he will end up.
Worst teacher I have ever had. First of all, he freaked everyone out with his random yelling of stories.Secondly, I lost marks on an ENGLISH ESSAY because I used an "impressive vocabulary" , was told to "use plain english" and "don't write to impress" which is crazy. Then he wouldn't let me write the exam because I had poor attendance. STAY AWAY.
Hard marker? Maybe, would say more "fair". He tells exactly what/how he wants the work done; talks about every story detailed. Read them before class (unannounced in-class writings). In my home country we write essays MUCH different! He showed me how to do it here. Considering I'm not native speaker, I still got a GOOD C+
English was my favorite subject until I met this professor !! No good can't teach !!
very hard marker, the lowest mark I got in my life!
If you follow his instructions for assignments, you're fine. How do I get a good grade you ask! "Buy the books, do the readings, be on time, come to class and you'll be fine" will be the response he gives. Don't use a fancy vocabulary, keep it SIMPLE. If you want to know why/where you loose marks, BUG HIM IN PERSON, HE DOES NOT ANSWER EMAILS!
This professor knows how to teach but he is a hard marker. Few you miss his early classes there is less chance that you will get good grades.
Hard marker? Maybe, would say fair. Tells u EXACTLY what/how he wants the work done; talks about every story detailed. Read them before class (unannounced in-class writings). In my home country we write essays MUCH different! He showed me how to do it here. Considering I'm not native speaker, I finished with a B and started of with low C-. He rocks
He's a hard marker, but you just have to follow the rules, be on time and keep it simple.. it's what a student is supposed to do. As a non-native speaker I found his class very helpful.
He is retired now but that textbook he put together and asked us to buy is way exorbitant! It is worthless and very inconsiderate. I hope he reads this and understand our opinion. Over a hundred dollar on a textbook with 3 stories read for 2 months period is questionable...
He is an amazing teacher who takes pride in his work. He is HILARIOUS and was my favourite professor!
One of the most qualified professor, just ethics involved in forcing students to buy his expensive book knowing he was retiring. That he knew the book can't be resold, used for only 3 readings half semester, and with the 3 stories copied/ available in a library book seems to be insensitive to students' financial situation. Enjoy your retirement.
