talks like Ben Stien, and a funny guy. those who gave bad rating don't know what they are talking about, because he repeats everything like four times. Is able to teach controversail classes in a non-biased way.

Fantastic teacher - loved his witty sarcasm.

Very funny. Nice teacher and good lectures

I don't usually like professors who do solely verbal lectures, but this guy's hilarious!!! Plus, he repeats importnant points all the time so you don't miss them. And for an older guy, he's pretty sexy... .

Oh my. GREAT PROF. Great humour, friggin hilarious, love the sarcastic monotone way he presents his lectures, you have to try and get into one of his classes!

Loved this teacher, I plan to take his social work class in the fall, do you guys know that he looks at this website and adds good/bad stuff under his name just to see who has the guts to come to his class. Its all part of the twisted humour that is Paul.

Paul has been an amazing influence in my student life, i like sociology and i understand more now that i took two os his classes, he has an amazing way to inspired you to come to class, his humor is dark and very funny..yous just have to understand him!

What a great prof, everyone should take a class from Paul. The guys will love his sarcasism and the girls will love to look at him...so sexy and smart

Hey everyone, you need to know that Paul is one of the best profs I have seen in a long time. what a great teacher

If you can handle the monotone and dry sarcasm, he's a really interesting Soc teacher. Also if you show great interest in the material, he'll give you extracurricular stuff that will blow you away.

Paul's a great teacher, so funny, easy tests, pretty much the same format for all his classes. Can be really sarcastic, but has a really fun view of the world!

Paul reminds me of Ben Stien, but you can't win his money...he has none :) The facial expressions are enough reason to show up for class and if you think that dry sarcastic humour is a good thing here is the class for you.

paul brady is definetly a great prof. he knows what hes talking about. he does have very strong opinions. facial expressions are awsome. he is known for shooting down answers a student suggests. aslong as u stay on his good side u'll enjoy the class. PS. avoid taking a tower of empty beer cups

Brady was a bit monotone but it had a great sense of humour. His notes and discussions were clear and he kept me interested. I learned a lot from his class and thought he was a veru fair marker. I liked the writing assignments too.

Paul is an awesome lecturer! He's funny and really interesting, and I learned a ton arguing with him all semester. He's been my fav prof so far

Certainly makes otherwise dry, boring marerial a little more interesting...simply by the way he talks...and his facial expressions. My first impression of him was silence of the lambs, but he turned out alright. Tests aren't always easy, tests on a lot of notes and text reading.

I really enjoyed going to this class and I think Paul made the class fun and very informative. I learned a lot from taking this class. Paul is very funny and HOT!

Funny, funny man.

Although his class was online he kept it interesting with a good textbook and interesting sites to check out. He was also very helpful and understanding if there was a reason you couldn't be there for an exam. (I don't know why but he reminds me of Ryan Stiles...)

great teacher. Extremely intelligent and entertaining. It was a joy to be in his class.

Solid bro of a teacher. Doesn't seem pushy with what he's teaching. Probably doesn't actually want to be there, but hey do we? He makes things a little more interesting with the whole cocky side he shows. Thumbs up!

P. Brady is so funny and amazing!!

Hilarious, entertaining class. (If you like dry, sarcastic humour). Also, I kind of want him ;)

Paul is very clear. Any fool can do well in his course if they chose to attend. He does his best to provide you with all the information you need in the clearest manner possible. He is a hoot and his dry humour makes class fun!!!

Brady was great. Funny, and hardnosed and smart. He didn't have a ton if time for the bleeding hearts... which were probably the people who posted negative comments. The tests were easy as long as you read the text and go to class.

Funny Guy

Easy to understand and marks fairly. Can be difficult to approach due to sarcastic demeanor. Best to stay quiet in this class.

Easy to follow and easy enough to approach, this professor is clear, helpful and knows what he's talking about. His sense of humor can be amusing but it comes with a very dark cynicism that can make for an uninspiring and even depressing class. That said, as unhappy a man as he seems, he is an excellent teacher and I highly recommend him.

If you want an easy first year course, take SOC 100 with Brady. The only thing you are graded on is his non-cumulative tests and debate units where you discuss an article in a group. Read the material, do the practice tests online and you'll breeze through this class.

At first I found him intimidating. There are 4 debate units each valued at 7%. He is quite particular about the criteria for acceptable debate questions. There are 4 debate assignments per semester. I highly recommend going to see him prior to handing your questions in. While he may seem intimidating in class, he is quite approachable 1 on 1.

I really enjoyed this class. The material was interesting, and the lectures were engaging. Dr.Brady is very clear when explaining things, and if you ask for him to clarify something 1-on-1 he is more than welcome to go over things with you. Love his sense of humour.

Very clear, cleary experience, cynical but honest. Neat dry humour.

Brady tells it like it is and for that I respected his class.

Paul's sense of humor is pretty dark, which I find hilarious. He likes to on tangents though, so beware. It was always really stuffy in the classroom and it was often hard to stay awake. Interesting subject matter though. I don't know if I would want to take another of his classes, but he is the only teacher for 211 so I don't have a choice.

The course content is pretty dry in this class but Brady supplies course outlines noting what's important for you to know for the test. Regular lecture attendance required as some things covered on the exam were not in the text. Minimal work required: exams and debate units are the only things you're graded on, no assignments.

He is hilarious. His sense of humour makes the depressing topics more enjoyable. Showing up to class and doing the practice quizzes will help you do well in the class.

Great prof, uses extremely dark humour which keeps you engaged throughout the lectures. Exams can be tricky but not too difficult. Just read the notes, text, and do the online questions and you'll be fine. Follow ALL instructions for the debates and it will boost your mark even more. Exams are all multiple choice too. Got an A and learned a ton :)

Paul is very experienced, and goes out of his way to send you a few emails every week on interesting reading material and each chapter outline. He notices when people aren't in class so you should go to make sure you get all the notes needed for exams, as relying on the text alone will not help you.

Excellent teacher, very old school. Make sure to attend all classes and take notes as he speaks as he gives away all keywords for exams and even writes some of them up. I only glanced through the textbook and got 97% on this class. I know people who failed due to not attending the classes even though they read the textbook. I loved his dark humour!

Has the worst exam marks school wide. Condescending when you ask questions too. Guess it's possible to get a high grade if you're able to make good debate questions which seemed next to impossible. Avoiding in the future

Paul is awesome; he knows his stuff, keeps fairly up to date with current issues, and is hilarious if you like dry humor. His classes aren't extremely hard but you do have to TRY. Go to lectures, do online tests, and get an A.

Has a very strange sense on humour, but you will learn a lot in this class and it is really easy to get an A+ with almost no effort. All the exams are multiple choice and he copy and pastes them from the practise tests. Need to go to the classes as if he notices less people are going he puts more questions from the lectures on the test.

Paul is a tough nut to crack, but he makes the usually depressing material of social work digestible and even enjoyable with his dark sense of humour. Don't take his standoffishness personally; he's just a quiet guy. If you come to class and pay attention and demonstrate critical thinking, he will be nicer to you. He knows a lot, so listen.

Everything expected as well as how to do assignments is on the course outline. You need to show up for lecture, as it gives information that is not in the textbooks. I enjoyed the lectures, they give interesting information and I like his dry sense of humour. He really hates cell phone use in class, but I agree with him on that.

At first I was apprehensive about the dryness and pessimistic nature of Paul's lectures. But he is actually very humorous and wise! Go to class, take notes. The syllabus is crystal clear with what is expected of you and when. Tests are very fair, and there is not a heavy workload. He became one of my favorites and I look for him when I sign up

I enjoy Paul's dry sense of humor. He's a unique individual that doesn't adhere to the norm. Paul is old school and appreciates students who pay attention and value their education. If you attend class and take good notes, you will do well. Period.

No electronics in class. Verbal notes. 3 tests - all MC. On the front, Paul seems like a weird guy with a darkish sense of humor but under that, he's actually a great guy and is very knowledgeable. Go to class, listen and take good notes, read the text and you'll come through with an A. Hint: a lot of test questions are from the book!

Was a good teacher, lectures were pretty interesting. Especially with all the pessimistic comments he always makes. Funny sense of humor. Would have been a better class but half my class was to stuck up.

Paul Brady was an hilarious teacher and I would definitely take his class again. His humor was great and was always good for fun class. Easy tests and not too much homework. Hates cellphones and will mock you in class if you say something not too bright.

Paul is pretty funny, loved his humor! No homework!

Paul is pretty old school, but you learn a lot from him. His sarcasm and slightly odd sense of humour make the content of social work/social welfare less monotonous. I really enjoyed his teaching style, and his hatred for phones/laptops really doesn't matter. He's quite opinionated, but also really intelligent and made me laugh every class :)

It's all easy if you listen to him and write it down and STUDY but seriously Paul Brady is a kind, funny guy who's just fed up with all the government corruption. Wish he was in charge on a larger scale.

Brady is an amazing prof! Has a darker sense of humour and will mock students for stupid answers. Absolutely hates cell phones and laptops so make sure you are ready to take notes and listen! We were only marked on attendance, tests, and debates. Tests weren't tough and debates were fairly easy as we were in groups of four.

Paul has an odd sense of humour, however he keeps the class interesting and is very good at explaining the concepts. There not a lot of assignments, so put effort into debate assignments and you'll do well. His tests are easy and straight forward, just make sure to show up to class and you'll get a great mark. Overall, super knowledgeable

Paul is an amazing teacher! Make sure you show up to class, he doesn't except work if you miss a certain amount of classes. He has an odd sense of humour, but he is amazing at teaching. Make sure to show up to class, and the textbook follows almost exactly what you do in class. Overall a really good teacher.

Clear about expectations for grades, which are easy to fulfill when you show up. It was a class I looked forward to attending every week Dr Brady has a way of lecturing that helps you hold onto information, he challenges you to think critically, use accuracy, and share your views. Nonetheless it is a first year course and fairly easy to pass well.

Paul is an AMAZING teacher. Only 3 midterms that are multiple choice, and 3 in class debates in small groups and further class discussion. Knows materials well, however he does have online notes so you must attend classes. Textbook is helpful but not mandatory. Overall a really good and in-depth class to take

12/10 would recommend, only 3 multiple choices tests, and super easy thoughtful debates. Notes in class are clear, and he is easy to keep up with. Says "Jim Pattison is your daddy" a lot!!:)
