Great prof. He conducts a great learning atmosphere and encourages informative debates in his lectures. A must-have professor for Poli. Sci. students.

What a nice person and very competent teacher! I'd take him for more poli sci courses with him if he wasn't at Glendon. Persaud rules!

Persaud is by far the most compassionate and considerate professors I have ever had. It is very rare that one come across such an individual who takes the time to know everyones names. He truly rocks. He is amazing! I will miss him!

Probably the most highly respected professor in the entire school. Cares more for students than most other professors. Internationally known. He's one of the profs that I will remember after Im done with this crap school.

i want to kiss him you guys.. so cute! not to mention damn well read, wish i kould pick his brain!

I've had him twice and he is by far the best prof. He cares about his students more than any prof ever. Very very smart, knows what he is talking about and knows a lot of people. Lots of guest speakers. I will take all the classes with him that I can!!!

Quite objective, has integrity. Two very important qualities. Really cares about the academic careers of his students.

Last 2 lectures were the most interesting...good prof though. Really cares about the well being of students and their academic careers, will help you with anything you need related to his course or academics.

I'm a student from Brock where he is a "guest professor" I guess you could say. I very much enjoy his class and he gives a lot of time for discussion, which I feel is a very valuable part of class. I take a lot from his classes, but I find it weird how much he uses other people's material (books).

he's approachable, he's organized but not rigid in teaching his lectures

He cares very much about his students and their future academic careers. He prepped us well for the exam, very fair marker. Recommend him highly!!

he's friendly and helpful. his lectures don't teach you the meat of the course since he expects you to read before class. but his lectures help you understand better, helps complement the readings and helps you understand the material in a deeper context. he cares about students and wants everyone to do well

Great

I think Prof. Peraud is a great teacher. Interesting, clear lectures. He told us all the questions that would be on the midterm beforehand. He is passionate about the subject he is teaching and makes an effort to get to know his students.

Until Prof.Persaud asked us for an early assesment on his style of professing, i thought his lectures were unclear and lacked in structure. But since reading our asssments it seems like hes has really improved and i am highly appreciative of his efforts to accomodate and understand the needs of his students. If ur reading this Sir THANK U :)

This is the second course that I have had the pleausure of taking with Prof Persaud, and have to come to respect him a great deal. Having done a hectic commute from Toronto to St. Catherines and still teach while he was having health difficulties and always being there for students is something I will never forget. Thanks for a great year, Prof!

I think that he shows a lot of care for students. He can understand the position we're in. Makes course easier to understand by having more of a laid back mode to teaching. Isn't arrogant like most professors, and puts trust to his students. Always wants to know how to make class even better through remarks from students.

approachable and understanding, cares alot about students

friendly with everyone, treats students like equals, wants everyone to do well and is there to help you. doesn't have a "us professors and you students" mentality that lots of professors do

His lectures were quite irrelevant to the actual exam since he taught us vey little about theoretical polsci. But he continuously challenged us to think about politics and I have a new awareness about this previously uninteresting field. He is always willing and helpful. Seems to be a bit of an iconoclast.

really interesting prof

One of the magnificent profs I've ever had in my entire academic life, he is very inspired by politics and encourages students to go beyond the "just theory" aspect of the course materials. He is very responsible and supportive towards students' academic growth and integrity.

hELPFUL

he cares about students: he takes the time to remember people's names and enjoys engaging with students; but his courses don't really challenge you nor demand a concrete understanding

This professor is great!

Dr. Persaud is very fair and willing to help clarify any point provided he notices you trying to pay attention during his lectures (and he does notice who does and does not!). If you pop for constitutional law, he's your guy. If all you want is 3 credits, you're missing a great opportunity (not to mention a well penned recomendation letter)

Best Professor at York. Really cares about his students.

He is a true mentor and will do everything in his power to help students.

had him for 2 classes. amazing guy, but dont take his class if you expect to be spoon fed info. u have to think for yourself. instructions are vague, readings are general. he's extremely knowledgeable but name drops and goes on tangents. obsessed with constitutional law/judiciary. take his courses!

Excellent professor, very understanding and professional at the same time. Enjoyed learning and going to his class

This professor was the most inspiring and most motivating professor I have ever had. He is very knowledgeable and provides his students with insightful material to consider. It is mandatory you attend his classes if you expect to do well and you must contribute to the class discussion however if you are willing he is very helpful. Best teacher ever

University is meant to prepare you for the real world. Professor Persaud's teaching style and attitude do exactly that. Clear and concise with a caring demeanor towards students. Very approachable and humorous. Clear insistence on individualized learning, hard work. He steers you towards new knowledge, its up to you to take advantage of his wisdom.

Prof. Persaud is by far one of the most interesting and thoughtful professors at Glendon. Though some students may find his lectures be long winded, he always manages to bring the subject back to its central focus. I highly recommend taking his courses, as they're the most informative, enjoyable and participatory of any courses I've taken so far.

A graet professor will recommend him/his courses to othres. He really knows his stuff makes his classes worth attending. Interesting to listen to. He is very much concerned about his students welfare or well being.

I really enjoy this professor. I am currently taking PPAS 4200 and liking his style. He does not spoon feed the students and only interrupts when the discussion is going off track. He is insightful and expects the same from his students - highly recommend.

Good: knowledge about the subject, engaging the class in discussion, care for the student's mark. Bad: disorganized, doesn't answer e-mails, name-drops, forgets names, loses your marks and asks you to write your mark on a paper, didn't get to present (wrote a 1pg paper on democracy) okay guy, but frustrating class, got an A.

show up to his classes and talk in class, state your opinions, involve yourself in discussions. to pass his tests always give your critical analysis of the topic and you will do great. he is very friendly and rewards your effort

Amazing prof! Class discussion is always informative and exciting. You really learn a lot from him.

Great professor and an outstanding person. Takes an interest in every student and is very encouraging. Gives the best inspirational speeches to the class, and is a fair marker and clear about expectations, no surprises on the exam. "Don't be a cynic, be a skeptic" - Radha Persuad.

Dr. Persaud is a fantastic professor who takes a genuine interest in the success of every student. He always does his best to encourage students, and displays great insight into the political process. You will be a better person after taking his class because of his guidance. He's just a genuinely good person and I can't recommend him enough.

He is extremely knowledgeable of the material. He doesn't get bogged down by off topic discussions. All you have to do is put an effort into understanding the readings and you will do well. I have to stress again that this guy is very knowledgeable. He intently listens to your arguments and is very insightful in his responses.

It was an easy, funny, interactive class. Best summer class I ever took.

Amazing professor. He really cares about his students and is a true inspiration. Though the subject matter can tend to be boring he makes it interesting with his passion for it.

Dr Persaud is an exemplary prof. I had the pleasure of learning from him in a number of courses. Persaud is a hard worker who seeks not only to disseminate the subject material, but also to help students understand the meaning of material. He engages students in discussions, contributing to a successful academic environment. Very dedicated prof.

Dr. Persaud taught me how to think critically and formulate/verbalize my own ideas, rather than regurgitate others. This has unfortunately not been the case so far in my other classes. He genuinely cares about the successes of his students. I will miss chatting about SA & Madiba every week! I highly recommend taking this class with him.

Dr. Persaud is one of the most learned professors in Ontario. He draws from a vast reservoir of knowledge and delivers it in manner understandable to all. He's curiosity for the subject manner is unmistakable. He's also very familiar with the political atmosphere of my home, South Africa, a testament of his commitment to comparative analysis.

Loved the lectures. Very eloquent , and takes the time to provide students with additional support outside of the classroom. Helped me personally with a very tedious petition for withdrawal and encouraged me to continue pursuing my studies. He was very instrumental in the founding of Glendon's student Political Science Association.

Dr. Persaud is an outstanding professor and constitutional scholar who cares deeply for his students. I had the privilege of taking a seminar with him in my final year of study. He inspires students to achieve their potential, teaches them to think critically, and offers genuine guidance for students seeking to pursue further education. A+++

Amazing professor. So kind and caring. Tough content in 4130 however. Lectures are simple though.

An inspirational professor. Wow is all I can say. He has won so many teaching awards and not for no reason. Show up to class, show him that you care about the material, and he will LITERALLY bend over backwards to make sure you end up with an A+

Such a knowledgeable scholar and constitutional law master. He knows the ins and outs of political law like no other. I highly recommend you take his class and make sure to show up and be thoughtful when participating. Itll go a long way

Persaud is a great and influential Prof. Though, he talks much about his connection and achievement at length, but overall you will learn a lot from his class. Above all, he wants everyone to succeed. He listen and care about students. I'll recommend taken his class.

Defnitley take this course for the best educational experience. He is also a very helpful, passionate and inspirational professor. Really cares for his students and is very accommodating. There are also no papers or really difficult assignments, just a mid term and final exam and a presentaion. Very fair marker, based on your effort and skill.

Professor Persaud's knowledge on the subject of democratic representation offers students a significant understanding focusing on elements of political and legal scholarship. His seminars provide students a comfortable environment to discuss political topics of democracy and representation in order to further their own knowledge and understanding.

Professor Persaud is passionate about his work. He is very flexible, considerate and will accommodate the needs of his students. I've never had such a dedicated, supportive and inspirational teacher such as Professor Persaud and I am glad that I had the chance to take his classes. Thanks for everything, Prof. Persaud!

Dr.Persaud is passionate in his work and demonstrates his acuity with Canadian political history. He is inclusive in his teaching & is caring to plan out weekly readings/assignment dates with the entire class's consideration. Stay on top of the readings before class to be prepared for the rich discussion ahead.A real life gem for gaining knowledge.

I liked the course being treated like a seminar format. Dr.Persaud has a vast framework on the themes of Democracy and Representation that his position as moderator played into discussion in the lectures and learning the course content played a harmonic role in preparing for the final. Has a clear grading scheme & schedule to prepare way in advance

Professor Persuad is highly knowledgeable and passionate about the subject matter, which is evident in his seminars. He provides thorough explanations and use real-world examples to make complex concepts understandable. His clear communication, engaging methods, and dedication to student success exemplify excellence in his teaching.

Professor Radha Persaud's LAW 3135 was transformative. He excelled at making complex topics accessible, fostering critical thinking, and encouraging open discussion. His clear lectures, practical examples, and constructive feedback greatly enhanced my understanding and analytical skills. An exceptional educator!

Professor Persaud was amazing in teaching and encouraging his students to participate in the seminars. The classes are always an amazing vibe and you learn while he cracks a joke or two. The amount of experience he has in his job is incredibly inspiring

Professor Persaud is one of the greatest professors i've had at York. Kind, caring, and funny. He makes you work but being in the class and getting to know him is extremely rewarding.

If you haven't taken any of his classes, i would highly recommend. Not only is professor Persaud an amazing teacher, but he is a good human being. He cares for all his students, encouraging them to go further in their academic careers. Without a doubt professor Persaud is the best professor I have ever had and probably will ever have.

Absolutely Amazing!!

Prof. Persaud is a dedicated, knowledgeable teacher who makes complex topics understandable. His engaging lectures, real-world examples, and supportive approach helped me learn a lot. unstuck study was a great supplemental study tool too.

Professor Persaud is by far the best professor at this campus! His exams are typically 1-2 essay questions (and he hints at what they will be). He values participation and critical thinking above all. He makes an effort to get to know his students personally and does his best to make lectures relevant and engaging!

Persaud is by far the best prof here! His exams are typically 1-2 essay questions (he hints at what they will be). Very heavy on participation and critical thinking rather than the facts. Makes lectures engaging and relevant. He makes a point to get to know each student personally and is so, so kind! Would take any class taught by him!

Persaud is the best professor I have ever had! There is one group project and two exams. The exams are 1-2 essay questions and he hints and what they will be before hand. He makes a point to know all of his students personally and is so kind! Lectures are always engaging and relevant. Could not recommend his classes enough!

A totally awesome professor who makes everything relevant to today. I took POLS3720 - American Politics with him but wasn't listed here. The online was fantastic and the best experience I had so far. He really connects. Exams questions are doable if you study the textbook and attend class. Highly recommend this prof.
