Comment:

While an easy marker, and a nice man in general, he didn't teach much in the course. He encouraged contact from students, but was actually hard to get a hold of - he was often an hour or two late for office hours and does not regularly check emails. Seminars were long & spent just talking about random things; learned how to write a long paper.

The worst professor I've ever had - I only learned about his life because that's all he ever talked about. And he brought an ex-stripper to class...

Easiest marker ever. Doesnt give a mark lower the 70 and makes you explain why you think a topic is interesting.

Comment:

he was a hell of a lot better than debra clarke! seriously at least his slides and lectures had a direction or end result. Yes he does talk a lot about his own research and laughs at his own jokes, as well as has a hard on for babbie and benaquisto, but he wasn't that bad!

Comment:

He believes that his word is gospel. Use your textbook for a reference ONLY. His word means more and is right. If the textbook contradicts him (which it does a lot), it's wrong. His lectures are boring and he doesn't explain enough. He explains in his own way, but his way is very vague and abstract.

Good guy, but I do agree with his painful lectures/seminars. He actually seems like an interesting man, very liberal and relaxed

Comment:

He may be good at research, but hes a HORRIBLE "teacher"! My advice,get help from the teaching assistant, because Law will be condecending, unclear and unhelpful in the major project.In lectures,he constantly goes off on random tangents,and talks about himself with a God-like attitude.Its too bad he teaches Trent soci requirements,or at all really!

The WORST prof EVER!! I had to teach myself everything! He is always late, condescending, rude, unhelpful, and unapproachable. He does not deserve the position he has, there should be a prof that can actually teach and be beneficial to the sociology department.

If he spent less time talking about HIS research and more time addressing the things we actually need to know it would be helpful. Also, maybe if he stopped talking in circles and answered questions directly it would help.

Very complicated and disorganized professor. Usually seems ill-prepared. Lectures are extremely boring. On the bright side: he is an awesome guy and really nice!

Professor Law is quite possibly the most horrible prof ever. Never stays on topic, goes off on stupid tangents, doesn't have any concept of webct or technology in general. SO glad that class is over.

superiority complex. Got Phd studying "laziness" and it shows, it shows! Favourite saying, "meet me at my office" when asked for help - but not in office! Talks about himself incessantly. Would avoid taking a course taught by him at all costs!
