There are no tests and notes are not required because he is more interested that you actually learn something rather than being expected to memorize facts. Pascal's teaching style should be modeled by all profs! This class has my highest recommendation especially considering how important the subject material is. I left feeling completely inspired!

This is one of the best classes I have ever taken in my life. My only regret is that life got in the way of me experiencing all of the classes. The operative word here is "experiencing" this isn't simply one of those classes you take and read off of slides. You actually meet people from the community and learn from them. I would take this again!

The class is unique in the way it's designed which makes it totally different from anything else at Ryerson. The whole idea that you don't need to take notes for a mid-term/final exam allows students to get even more engaged and focus on the topics at hand. Overall, this course was quite informative and I'd totally recommend it to future students.

They really know how to transform (what I thought would be) dry material into a jaw dropping lecture and I even started talking about it outside of class! They really bring serious issues to the front and are very blunt and real people

One of the best profs at Ryerson. His positive attitude and passion for teaching is infectious. He respects all his students and gives great feedback on assignments. In this class you will get an opportunity to do experiential learning rather than simply theory, which is a value tool applicable in many professions and just life in general.

This was by far my favourite class during my 3 years at Ryerson. I learned so much during Pascal's insightful lectures & through listening to the amazing guest speakers. I currently am working in the homelessness sector & always critically reflect on what I learned in this class. This class should be mandatory for all programs, it is so important!

Pascal Murphy is one of the greatest professors I have had in my 6 years of schooling! His respect for students provides a safe and open learning space. He fostered a class that encouraged and supported one another. Pascal is an inspirational teacher, who's variiety of teaching techniques allowed each student to learn and grow.

This was one of the most inspiring classes Ive taken at Ryerson. Pascal truly cared about the well-being of his students and was very understanding. The guest speakers were my favourite part about the class. It was really eye opening to hear their experiences of the issues discussed in the course. I have, and will continue to recommend this course

Pascal is a very inspirational teacher. He uses his professional knowledge and expertise to teach his students. Everything is relevant, up to date and respectful. Pascal challenges his students to think outside the box and offers positive feedback. His use of material and guest speakers adds to a very positive learning environment. Amazing!

This was one of the best classes, for sure the best elective, Ive taken at Ryerson. Pascal connected learning inside the classroom to real life outside the classroom which I could not be more grateful for. The social justice issues are so important to learn, whether you are entering the field or not. So much value in this course with Pascal!

Pascal made this 1 week 8am-6pm intensive course tolerable. I enjoyed and looked forward to coming to class each day. He easily became one of my favourite professors at Ryerson while I was a student. He is so knowledgeable and inspiring in the work that he does relating to homelessness. He was easily approachable and truly cared for his students.

Pascal is quite frankly, the best professor I had at Ryerson. I was excited to go to every class, and what I learned I don't think could be achieved in any other class. He makes every class interesting, has many guest speakers, and I truly carried what I learned throughout every other class I had in my four years, and will for the rest of my life.

This course has been the most impactful elective course I have taken at Ryerson University with Pascal Murphy. This program opened my eyes to a new perspective on homelessness and shaped my interactions with the community I serve. I will always carry this knowledge forward with me in my personal and professional life as a Child and Youth Worker.

The instructor makes students feel valued and respected, provokes deep thought and introspection, compassion. This class should be mandatory for health care providers.

Making attendance worth more than the actual contents of the class doesn't make any sense to me. Some people go through things. Some people get ill. Wish prof was a bit more compassionate about that.

The only thing Ryerson did right was hire Pascal. I have no words to describe how amazing this professor is, if you have a chance to take his class do it!! But be prepared to shed many tears during his lectures.

I had a 98 in this course until he decided to value attendance more than anything else. Didn't care at all that this was during the peak of COVID, I lost my home, I was going through things, I HAD covid. I tried to talk to him about it and he thought he was doing me a favour by simply dropping my grade all the way to an almost fail. Never again.
