I used the book once when we were assigned a chapter to read and write about ourselves. The notes he hands out is enough to pass the class. Easy grader and gives nice feedback. Replies and grades very quickly!

Comment:
While Cody is nice, his lecturing leaves much to be desired. He is older and still teaches his classes with little to no interactivity. As an adviser he is absolutely horrid (yet again not to detract from him as a person) but you have to make every step to get anything from him and he appears uninterested in his advisees. My own biased opinion.

Comment:
Howard is the sweetest man ever. He lives off the values of Canada and is very eager to tell the class everything he has ever learned about Canada. It is an easy class but you will learn a lot, even if you don't read. If you read you don't need to go to class unless to take an exam. If you go to class you don't have to read.

Comment:
Worst professor I have had the misfortunate of listening to. Completely unneeded to suffer through his lectures, they were simply long-winded regurgitations of the material from book. Entire grade was based on 3 exams, if you have a rudimentary understanding of material you can BS the whole thing.

You must buy the book and attend every class and take good notes. There is no participation in this class, it is simply him speaking for an hour about Canada. Plan to read everything in the texts and take great notes if you want to do well on his exams. The exams are one essay question. He doesn't give a study guide, so you just need to know it all

Really sweet guy who knows his stuff. He lectures by regurgitating everything in the book while walking back & forth and occasionally illegibly writing a key word. Expects you to know the book inside and out and be able to write detailed essays for his in-class tests. Go to him if you're having trouble.

Definitely My Favorite Professor on campus. I've taken every class he teaches on campus. He has a really good sense of humor, but its sort of dry, but if you get it hes hilarious. Pure lectures, but if you go and take notes you will get an A. almost impossible to fail his class. Also doesnt assign papers which is a plus! Definitely take his class!

Good teacher and good advisor. Boring lectures but he really knows the material, gives great notes, and is the only pos teacher to quickly respond to emails. Only complaint is that he never seems to give As.

seems to give standard 85s on every test, which is upsetting if you generally get better grades than that.

super nice teacher. boring lectures but he gives notes and knows the material. Tests are easy and he grades mostly based on participation. Took this class online. It's great just make sure to respond to each debate question. it makes the tests much easier.

Comment:
Cody knows the material that he teaches extremely well, but his lectures are the most boring ones I have ever heard. I also don't like the fact that if you disagree with his political views, he doesn't give you a good grade -- even if you put up a strong, logical argument for your side.

He's a cute guy, and a pretty decent professor. But I'll be honest. If you're taking a class with him, great, but try to avoid a TR class with him. They're WAY to long to sit though, especially if it's first thing in the morning. His monotone voice makes you have the aweful tendency to doze off.

He is a very good and knowlegable professor, the key to taking his class is taking very clear, extensive notes which will absolutly result in an A on the test- he is one of those teachers that likes you to write as much as possible on his tests so study hard!
