Professor Steele seemed very passionate about the course material, and he organized and presented the content effectively. I learned a lot from his class, and it has helped me tremendously with my upper-year MIT courses. Prof. Steele is also easy on the eyes.

I took Steele's Cold War/Post America class and really enjoyed it. Although it was probably my most difficult class content wise, it was my favourite course because he was very knowledgeable and the information was really interesting. He also gave great feedback. Definitely recommend taking his courses ? he's brilliant!

Steele is an amazing prof, i actually enjoyed going to his classes, he makes the content interesting. You can also tell he is extremely knowledgeable but without being egotistical. HIGHLY recommend.

Prof. Steele quickly became one of my favourite profs. He's knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and very well-spoken. I also found him quite approachable and helpful outside of class hours. Overall, great prof and great class.

This prof will open up your mind to insane new concepts that, if you give the time to think about, will change the world around you. I have taken 4 courses with him and it was the highlight of my University experience. You MUST put in the effort, as the material he looks at will not just come to you. That's MIT though. Expand your mind

Nervous in large classrooms, but knowledgeable and clear. Reiterates important points to keep in mind for exams. Will broaden your perspective on technologies and society. Still trying to figure out what his tat is of (inside l arm). His ta Brianne would be a sick lecturer (funny and insanely smart). Exams make sense if you do the readings b4.

awesome. inspired you too learn more. great/intriguing lecturer.

He is down to earth as hell. He makes excellent points and is very passionate, and he presents his courses in a organized fashion. He is also great at encouraging class involvement. Really enjoyed his classes!!

I love this man. I've had him for multiple classes and he always kept me engaged. Very knowledgeable and personable outside of class.

Hottieeeeee, LOVE THIS MAN

He sometimes forgets that we all aren't quite as brilliant as him and find it difficult to grasp some of his ideas. However, if you ask him to clarify, he is more than willing to. Try not to be intimidated and just approach him. Extremely interesting and knowledgeable, not to mention easy on the eyes.

Brilliant professor! I can't stress how interesting and well organized his lectures are. He is charismatic and nice to, although at first he can be a little bit daunting to approach.

Amazing. I love this professor. He is extremely intelligent and down-to-earth. He made me consider ideas and issues in ways I never would have before. He also helped me become a better thinker and writer.

Really interesting course material. Some concepts may be abstract and hard to grasp at first but Steele does an amazing job at explaining in lecture. A couple of responses, midterm, and final. Easily my favourite course and prof of the semester.

His teaching style isn't for everyone. The concepts he teaches are incredibly difficult to grasp. You absolutely MUST engage with the material as openly as possible. It will be frustrating at times, but once you have taken the time to TRULY understand everything this man says, it is a rewarding experience unmatched by any course I've ever taken.

The first lecture of 2500 i was completely confused and nervous. This professor's teaching style is very abstract, however it is obvious he is brilliant and well spoken. He is very intelligent, passionate and challenged the class to open their minds to course material. I ended with a great mark and would definitely take his classes again.

Interesting, inspiring, and passionate. Difficult and slightly intimidating to talk to at first, but very helpful when needed. Steele explains some difficult and complicated course material in ways that are clear. I highly recommend taking a smaller class with him like MIT 3218. Eye-opening courses.

Warren Steele is one professor that every student in MIT should have at least once (most do in 2500). His classes are always engaging, his prose is thoughtful and leaves most classes hushed in reverence. A smaller course with him is a must, as his specified content on the Cold War is profound.

Amazing and inspiring professor. While does not seem immediately personable, he is very kind, helpful, and kind of fun to talk to. I hang onto his every word. Take race, post-war, capitalism, or crash landscape.

The terms that he introduces in lectures are easy to understand and grasp as he offers many examples to help you understand it better. He is a terrific prof that goes in dept with his course content and makes class enjoyable. He is a fair marker.

Warren Steele is hands down the best professor I had in my four years in FIMS. His teachings in this class were absolutely fundamental to my development as a student of media studies. His focus on the philosophies behind media was instrumental to my learning in FIMS. Take his classes, and listen when he talks.

He is absolutely amazing. My academic crush for sure. I had 3 classes with him and i hung onto every word. Such a profound, deep, sensitive intelligent human being. Extremely fair marker. Great guy. Everyone needs Warren Steele as a professor in their life at least once. He's also a badass activist.

Very eloquent and well spoken. He sounds like he's reading an essay, but the material is extremely interesting. You definitely have to pay attention in lecture, but he always summarizes himself well. Good professor, but lectures can get a bit dry and tedious

Warren Steele is an amazing teacher. If you can PLEASE take his Race and ethnicity class. My eyes have never been more open and I have never been more interested in a class before. He is so passionate that you ultimately become extremely passionate as well. You literally never want to miss a class because you want to learn everything.

The impact this professor has had on my growth as not only a student but as a human being is indescribable. Take this course. It will change your life

Amazing and life changing

Warren Steele's is an amazingly inspirational professor. I can't help but hold on to every word. Very passionate.

One of the best profs you will ever have at Western. Very intelligent and philosophical. Seems intimidating but it so nice. Walk away from every lecture very inspired.

Great prof. Interesting lectures and sparks much interest in students.

LOVED the class I took with Warren. Very interesting material that he explains in a way that made every class feel like a Black Mirror episode. Two essays and 2 exams (both of which are fair). Highly recommend.

The most depressing 2 hrs of my life. Not bad tho

I've had Warren twice. Admittedly, in second year, it took me a while to get used to his style. He presented material in a poetic, yet academic and ominous, way. Now, in 4th year, I understand. He may not seem outwardly enthusiastic, but IMO, he exudes empathy, thoughtfulness, and ethics in his teaching style and chosen material. Take his seminar!

Warren is a very intelligent and caring man. Frankly, anyone who does not see the relevance of this course should not be in MIT. I don't mind that he reads off of a script because it shows that he puts thought into each word that he chooses. Words can be very important. Loved the class- eye-opening and impacted my life in a significant way.

Warren Steele is one of the best professors within the Faculty of Information and Media Studies. He challenges his students to think more critically about issues that truly matter and have an impact on our lives. His electives are based on discussions rather than straight content, are engaging, and impact us beyond the classroom. Warren is a GEM

Do not base your opinions on Steele from 2500, where he really thrives is the upper year courses. They are so intriguing and I constantly walk away thinking about the world in a new lens. They are discussion based and the readings assigned are really gripping and don't feel like textbooks. Steele is an amazing prof

Western is so lucky to have Steele teach, he should be giving TED Talks and writing the next Nobel Prize winning novel. He is too smart for us university kids, but anyone who has had a class with him is incredibly fortunate to hear even one of his lectures in their lifetime. Take his (upper year) classes, it'll change your life.

Warren is my favourite professor in MIT. His 2500 classes are probably the driest, but I still found them great. Warren really excels in upper-year courses. His classes are probably one of the top things that I miss about UWO. Listen, do the readings (which are awesome) and concentrate while he talks. You'll be mindblown!

Any chance you have to take a class from Warren Steele - ESPECIALLY 3935 - take it. He's absolutely incredible; so inspirational and smart. Being taught by him is an absolute privilege because he WILL change your life and your perspectives on the world.

By far the most interesting and thoughtful professors I've encountered in FIMS. His smaller classes always create the best discussion environments, and makes me never want to take another big lecture classes. Warren encourages new and interesting ideas, he values personal perspectives as they contribute to class discussion, and is truly kind.

Amazing lecturer who really cares about the course topic. I learned so much in this class. His exam was very straightforward. Slightly tough essay marker but if you put in time you will do fairly well. Easy participation marks.

This was one of my favourite courses Ive ever taken. Not only was the class well structured, planned, and executed, but Dr. Steele was insightful and passionate towards the subject. I found the assignments and course work relevant and enjoyed the class overall.

Professor Steele is an incredibly intelligent and intellectual man. I will remember this course for the rest of my life. He really challenges you to think in a different way and question your current beliefs/assumptions. I highly recommend taking his courses if you are serious about learning.

I'll go to my grave saying that anyone who doesn't like Steele just can't (or won't) keep up with his content. He's incredibly intelligent and articulate and frankly one of FIMS best profs. If you've never had him, ignore the reviews, go to the lecture, and just make the judgement for yourself

Warren Steele is one of the best professors MIT can provide at Western. He is clearly passionate and well informed about his areas of expertise and is always willing to discuss and have opinions challenged in class. Though some topics of the class can be difficult to navigate, it just shows how much care and time they each deserve. GREAT professor!

I think the MIT 2000 class is boring no matter who teaches it, take anything else from him and you won't be disappointed. He is the smartest and most insightful prof I have ever had and I will take the teachings from his class with me forever. He is extremely passionate and I can't recommend a professor more then him.

A real gem of a professor, I don't often find that classes change my life very often but he is truly one of the most intelligent and insightful teachers I have ever had. I would recommend him to every single person if I could. If you took MIT 2000 with him don't let it discourage you, the class is just boring.

Warren had very dense lectures, though his content was still interesting. I found the readings were unhelpful, but remembering the author's name mattered. The TAs do not come to the lectures, which meant many essays and midterms where you references concepts in class were sometimes marked wrong. The professor was good at correcting this though.

Honestly, the lectures got a bit long and boring, but I will always come back to the thing I learned in this class. I feel like that's really important now.

This was one of my favourite 2nd year MIT courses. Personally I found the content extremely interesting even though the readings and lectures were long. Prof Warren speaks slow, but it's not boring - more like a narrator. Its like I'm watching a documentary during his lectures, and his speed is the perfect pace for taking notes. W course & W prof.

Don't really get the hate this dude gets. He's a pretty good lecturer, probably one of the best I've had so far. Lectures and readings were really interesting and quite profound. The criteria for assignments were pretty loose, so the marking by the TAs was pretty tough, but overall I would recommend this course.

I don't understand why there are any negative reviews about professor Steele. His lectures are extremely interesting, they can sometimes drag on but he makes the content engaging. TA's were very hard markers but it may be because the assignment guidelines weren't that detailed. I looked forward to this lecture every week.

He is a very good professor, and the knowledge taught during the course is also very useful. However, some lectures during the course tend to be lengthy. Exam scores greatly depend on the TA. Having a good TA can be more advantageous in achieving high grades.

Warren Steele is such an incredible prof, and the 2000 course (despite some reviews) might be my favourite course I've taken in MIT so far. Warren is knowledgable and efficient when delivering his content. If people say that 2000 is boring (i found the content sooo interesting), I can't wait to see how much better Warren is in upper year classes :)

Warren is an amazing professor. While he does speak very sullenly, the information in his lectures is incredibly interesting and he presents ideas in a full, well rounded way. To do well in this course you must go to class and take notes, but the information is easily disgestible.

I think he was a great prof for 2000. You must attend lectures for this course as the slides provide little to no information or context (often just photos). Be prepared as he speaks in a very monotone voice which is something he acknowledges. Despite this once you get a feel for the content the lectures are enjoyable.

You either love or hate taking his classes. No in between. Usually those who claim to hate W.S. can't grapple with the fact that engagement with the material is a must. You WILL struggle his class if you try to passively float through. Otherwise, he's a 'no bs' prof. Go to all the lectures and critically read all the readings and you'll be good.

Warren Steele is an amazing and intelligent professor. He is extremely helpful when it comes to questions about assignments and he's very nice overall. I leave every lecture feeling so much more knowledgeable. Participation isn't marked but you absolutely CANNOT skip his lectures, and make sure to be paying close attention throughout all of class.

Professor Steele is an insanely intelligent individual and gives some very interesting lectures. I do believe at times the content can be a bit hard to grasp but he is always open to questions. You cannot coast in this class and must attend every lecture. The content taught in his class is very informative and relevant.
