Comment:
He truly is funny! He can tell when students are getting bored and will change how he is lecture/ talking to engage students. His lectures aren't boring for that reason and he is pretty clear about what he expects. He is pretty approachable too.

Teacher is very down to earth and funny. Humour can be kind of dark but it suits the topics quiet well. I feel like I really learned something and also enjoyed myself. No regrets taking classes with him. I like when he has group discussions as well I think more teachers should allow group discussions.

He was quite funny and seriously engaging. I feel like everything I learned I learned on a deep level. I definitely feel more interested in the topic after taking a course with him./

How can someone so openly apathetic and depressing still be employed by the university?? Boring and interesting are not the same thing...

Comment:
Brady's dry humor describing sociological problems was among the funniest things I have heard in my life. Brady is an ideological left-winger who reminds me of Bob Dylan, disillusioned and frustreated by the continous calamity that is western society, loathe to point out the positive aspects of capitalism, and highly intelligent.

Alright class, as fun as soci could be, but I found his lectures kind of dry, maybe just the material though. Very intimidating outside of class , and many mistakes in the marking of exams.

He may be a dirty libertarian, but he's still hilarious. Easiest course I've ever taken, of course it was Sociology so that goes with the territory. Lots of marking mistakes on the midterms so look for possible extra marks.

Absolutely fantastic...wicked humor, totally fair exams, no (or minor) assignments. Every lecture entertaining and relaxed pace. As always, think before you speak or clam up like most. For me, this is one of those "whatever he's teaching, take it" profs. 10 out of 10

Comment:
This guy is a riot! He's cracking jokes so fast, it's almost hard to keep up! While sometimes valid, his views are a little too left-wing for my liking. He's not afraid to tell you how he thinks the world should be.

Had him for several courses like, ten years ago, and is the one prof I still remember from UVic... cause he was SO humourous, and the HOT factor didn't hurt either. Yep, loved going to that class to hear/see what he's say/do next.

altho lectures can be a bit dry, he makes the course a lot easier to follow as important points and concepts are reiterated over and again. is very clear about how the grading for his course is structured: no papers or projects, just make sure to study!

So freakin' hilarious, i wish he taught all my classes. This is an easy course, and could be boring but he made every day fun. Although, it is true that he's opinionated, that just makes him even cooler. Best prof I've had yet.
