Difficult, but you learn a lot. Fair marker. Funny.

he's a cool guy

not difficult!! wants class to do well

I really enjoyed his class, he was straight forward and helpful.

He's an average teacher, I wouldn't say he's easy. It's hard to get an "A-" but easy to get the "B" range marks.

He's young, kind of cute. I got an A-, didn't think he was too hard. No final exam!

good prof

Easy mark,excellcent and clear pronunciation.It's a good choice for foreign students.

he made me like english! he could anything!

different in 100 and 190. 100 is lectures and assignments are very formal (good if you take psych or poli sci or sociology also). in 190 he teaches crazy poetry and talks about anything. overall one of the best in english.

This guy's oeuvre is nothing like bacon and rural eggs. i read ventilation flo because i found it in a used bookstore and it was raining outside. fascinating read; the last page was missing, so I couldn't read who'd the perpetrator was, in the end.

A great teacher to have. He's a fun and helpful teacher.

one of the greatest teachers one can possibly have

Really nice, big on class discussions. Young, in touch with youth culture-fun. Makes boring things as interesting as possible..the class material was boring, but that's because it was a composition class. He made it pretty entertaining though. Lots of group stuff. 5 quizzes. no final exam. good :)

great teacher, tho opinionated. definitely knows youth culture. not the typical college prof type.

Great first year prof, as a science student he made english bearable! Classes are interesting and fun, and I actually learned how to write.

Farr's far out! I've never heard an instructor use deliquescence in a sentence before, and that was in reference to my use of punctuation! My parents are even saying how much smarter I look (and that's when we talk on the phone). He's difficult, but worth it.

nicest teacher at cap! extremely helpful and shows a lot of interest towards his students. his classes are fun to be in and he's got a great personality. he's good on marking too, which makes me wanna take all the classes he's teaching.

Probably the best instructor for English at Cap. Smart, involved in his area of teaching, works hard, easy to talk to, marks fairly... I wish I was staying at Cap longer so I could take more courses with Roger... he's a delight.

farr tries to make english exciting but like all the others fails horribly

he's a very nice teacher. one of the best i've had. he's easy to talk to and you actually learm from him.

nice, friendly, easy going, good at what he teaches and totally helpful. He takes the time to listen and understand *thumbs up*

the guy knows what he is talking about.... BEST teacher EVER!!!

take anything he teaches because he actually teaches you. he sticks to the course content and makes his expectations clear. knows his area.

Roger's class is entertaining and fun. Though he tells lots of amusing stories, he still covers all the material. Oh yes, and he's a fair and understanding marker (not too easy, not too hard).

A very nice guy indeed! Instead of deducting your marks from your mistakes, he makes notes and eventually improve your writting skill!! (Some other english teachers, for instance, give you C right away if you make as many as 3 grammatical mistakes)

Professor Farr was very thoreau. His class was well-paced, and he walked us through the wild parts patiently. Often we retraced our steps, that was half the walk.

take his 2nd year theory class if you can, but only if you don't mind longish lectures. changed my ideas about literature inside out and i thank him for that.

Helpful, articulate, and holds fun classes. Personable and understanding. A player of words.

He is by far the best English teacher I have ever had. I had a 4 hour class with him, but he made it very enjoyable. He's a fair marker and recommend him hands down.

Cool guy. Ask him about his almost becoming a Harlequin Romance author.

Nice guy... easy teacher and really laid back with classes... pretty easy marker all around good teacher

he's very polite and helpful.just one paper for final and some in class asignments such as presentations and short quizes.thank you for tolerating international students.

love him. nice to talk to and not bad to look at!

Nice. Not a very engaging speaker, but is very good at getting his points across if you work hard at listening. Gives a very broad range of things to write about, making his class great for people of a wide range of interests (My final paper was on the emotional effect music has on a person).

He is by FAR one of the best professors I have ever encountered. Lectures are light and easy to understand and he also has quite the humour! He is extremely open-minded and accepts a wide range of thoughts and opinions. I highly recommend him for all levels of English =)

Roger Farr is the best English teacher at Cap U! He is unconventional and made me rethink what I thought I knew. I would take any class he taught.

Roger is a really nice guy and a very entertaining prof. He has lots of fun projects and ideas to make up for the fact that there is no final. He is very open and very engaging. His moodle site is updated all the time, so even if you miss a class you won't fall far behind. Take his class! You will enjoy it.

I took the creative writing section of his class. Roger is a paradox - very pretentious but also your average guy. Many in class debates. He is very helpful, although classes often veer off topic. Roger is pretty awesome, I'd highly recommend him and take another class with him at that. Manifesto assignment was the bomb.

Made me want to come to class.

Recommended! Roger helps foster new perspectives on literature and how it reflects culture. Supportive of students comments; genuinely interested in your ideas and does not pretend to have all the answers. Assignments have clear, directed questions. In-class essay midterm and final project. Con: Final paper only assigned 3 weeks prior to deadline.

Great professor. He's very fair and engaging. His classes are entertaining, and he quite honest when he expects they won't be (ie. MLA and APA). Good use of moodle as a resource. All and all he is the kind of guy who wants you to pass his class.

This is one excellent prof. His lectures are fascinating and the assignments are imaginative. Easy to get a C+ but you'll have to work for anything higher than a B. He'll give you a blunt overview in advance if you take a draft to him though. I'd take another class with him for sure.

Very helpful, easy to talk with, excellent at generating ideas and readily provides support and encouragement. Roger is a hard-working and interesting gem of a teacher!

Best teacher I've had at cap, down to earth, engaging, funny, and you actually learn in his class. He's creative so some assignments will be a little outside the box, which is awesome! Definitely recommend Roger.

Roger is an awesome teacher. He's super understanding and he puts himself in his student's shoes. If you don't understand something, he thoroughly explains it to you one on one. He didn't always have the students that engaged with one another, but I definitely recommend him.

Roger is fairly easy, especially if English is a second language. I learn a lot from him and enjoyed going to class. Very creative and original.

Rogers cool. I took english 100 as a mixed mode course with him. There wasn't much material to cover, which was nice!

Roger is very educated and knows how to share his knowledge. He takes a different approach at teaching English, which was refreshing and fairly easy to follow. Very approachable, more than happy to take as much time as necessary to explain things.

Funny guy, smart, helpful. Makes class interesting with random funny stories, gives clear notes, makes it clear what he expects. Doesn't believe in testing, so no quizzes or exam at the end. One required in-class essay that he criticizes, he's a cool guy.

I'm taking this class now and I'm so glad I ended up in his class! No grades yet but I almost don't care what I get it's the only class I look forward to every week. I wish I'd taken his other classes!!!

Roger is a very cool guy. I look forward to going to his classes because of his personality and I'm pretty sure I have a crush on him!

I look forward to this class every week; Roger is a cool guy and a fantastic teacher. The books were engrossing and there were only three so I didn't feel distracted from the rest of my coursework. The dérive assignments were so much fun and unlike any English class I've ever had.

Besides the assignments there is a mid term and thats it. Fair marker. Easy A

I started this class as a terrible writer but have learned so much even my sociology prof noticed I had improved. There are a lot of little assignments to keep track of but he breaks things down and you end up writing quite a bit. Good prof if you are motivated but I wouldn't say it's easy!

This was the first English class I taken in university and overall, it was a great experience. There's a decent amount of writing excercises but there's more than enough time to finish them. His feedbacks are actually helpful as well and his easy to approach if you have any questions.

Roger is a nice guy! I would recommend to take his class! very inspirational and hilarious!

Great Prof, very straight forward, thoughtful feedback, cares deeply about the content and keeps it relevant. I look forward to taking more of his courses!

He's a real gem! A gorgeous man!!!

He was a great creative writing teacher, and gave really good feedback. He actually cared about feedback and was super nice too.

Great guy, interesting class. Clearly very intelligent and very skilled at starting thoughtful discussions. Recommended

He's a really nice and chilled out guy who cares about us learning and still makes it fun. The essays are still essays, as that's just the way she goes, but he was always an excellent professor to have in class. Very smart and never failed to offer and provide help when needed.

Roger does pretty good keeping the online class content interesting but 3/4 of people don't share video or say anything...I don't even think half of them were actually there. people would ask the same random questions over and over and interrupt lectures and discussions it was frustrating but not his fault

Pretty straightforward English course. Had no problem getting questions answered in class and fair comments. Went out of his way to send me several recommended readings for another essay in a different class I was taking.

Roger is one of the coolest profs ever, he truly cares about his students mental health and his lectures arent too heavy and are easy to follow along. love him

He gave support for students having technical and health challenges etc it was very appreciated. Sometimes hard to reach on email but very helpful and accommodating during zoom meetings

Nice guy and if you want an easy class this is for you!

people in my class were complaining about it from the first week I think they had to take an online class and were confused. I found Roger very helpful and encouraging in person. These comments seem personal

Great prof so far. Answers emails quickly and course is well organized and easy to follow along.

I learned alot from this course. Feedback on my work was detailed.

Slow to answer emails but he explained why at the first class. Comments were all focused on the rubric he provided and were very clear. No exams! Teaches to the top of the class so I bet why some people might not like him

Online class was well organized and easy to follow, focused and not too many links like other classes. Zoom was the best way to get questions answered, email not so much. Don't think he's teaching at Cap anymore which is too bad. Would have taken another class with him!

Decent class but don't take if it's part of IDEA program they complain about everything and refuse to join conversations

There once was a poet-professor Who found Capilano a stressor. When the place started sliding He chose to stop hiding And left for a life that was fresher.
