Comment:
Dr Maggs prowled the goal in an ice-uncrusted shell, a lonely monk in an immovable cell. I'm paraphrasing, but you get the picture. Thanks for that last book of poems, Randy it really rocked my hockey-centric world. Great legacy.

I absolutely loved his class! I thought that he was a fair marker. His expectations are very clear, if you do the work, you will do fine. I hope I have him for another course in the future!

Comment:
(Fall 06) Did not enjoy his class at all. Showed up late everyday, always talked off subject and marked brutally hard! He got angry with me when I went from an 85 on the first paper to a 55 on the second. Seems like an angry man. Don't take his course unless you really enjoy english. I think he marks based on if you like english or not.

I had him for both of my english courses and I think he is the best english prof there! If I wasn't doing a science degree I would take all of his classes!! I <3 Randy and I would recommend him to anyone who is willing to put the effort into their work because thats the only way you will get a good mark!!

Comment:
I am agreeing that his marking strategy is way out-of-bounds. How i nearly managed to fail the course, not due to bad grammar or stucture, but because he just didn't like my writing style, should tell you about his fickle nature. Respectable for the work he's done, but when he's as discouraging as he is now, it's best his career comes to an end.

Comment:
Maggs is the best English Prof at Grenfell. He is NOT a hard marker, you just need to know how to analyze and write an ENGLISH LIT essay. He tells lots of stories in his classes and is a real pleasure for any student doing an English Major. He is a brilliant, friendly and helpful prof, but some people tend to read him wrong. Take his course!

I had Randy for many courses, and enjoyed each one. He expects you to be there to learn (and expects you to be interested, and want to learn), so don't expect him to make things easy for you, and don't expect him to be doing all the work. He's not being paid to do yours. He's there to help, so ask questions. Easy to reach in his office too.

It has been a while since I have had Professor Maggs but he still asks how I am doing when we spot eachother in the hallway. He is brilliant and while yes, a tougher marker than most, he pushes you and if you are an English major, you will appreciate having been taught by an SWGC legend.

I found him easy to listen to & funny in class. But thats about it for this guy! nobody wanted to ask questions in his class cause he might make a rude remark. For many classes he showed up late and for our first class every student came but he didn't show up at all! Hard marker. He wrote insulting comments in the margins of my essays.

You can take his course and think that you'll do well until you get your marks. Then you won't like him much. I'll never take another course with him if I can avoid it.

Comment:
a founding member of the english faculty at swgc one must give him credit and pay homage to the work he's accomplished, however one cannot excuse rude behaviour and unkindness to students seeking help in his class, and unpleasant annapproachable man with a chip on his shoulder, swgc thanks him for his work but i'm sure waits readily for him to go.

Apparently with Maggs, you either hate him or love him. I thought he was very interesting, he always had a story to relate, he was very helpful in the way he taught and the comments he provided on papers you passed in. If you do badly in intro to english with Maggs, it is becasue you aren't paying attention. I hope I get him again in the future.

Thinks he is Gods gift to english. Shoots students down when they don't live up to his standards. Preaches about how badly highschool english has prepared us but turns around and treats you like crap if you don't write a perfect paper.

Randy is a wonderful professor. He demands alot from students, only because he knows that they are capable of quality work. He always provides coments on papers to help you improve and is very interesting. If you pass him in a peice of crap he will tell you that it is a peice of crap. He is the best prof I have ever had.
