Comment:
Prof. Fleras has been one of the best profs I have had at the University of Waterloo. Participation is key, he likes to be challenged with well thought out responses. Though he may not agree with your opinion he will respect you for having one at all. As long as you show that you actually care he is approachable and will respect you/be helpful.

Augie was my professor in my 3rd year of undergrad. Now I am a professor at another university. He is one of the only ones I remember. He is knowledgeable, well accomplished, and truly an amazing academic. I miss his class and long chats he had with me. He helped me with a paper for another class for hours. In short, appreciate him.

Dr. Fleras is quite passionate about his work. His area of expertise is interesting and informative. Always use his textbooks for exams and writing essay, but use your OWN WORDS!

Comment:
Augie once said to a fellow student in class: "I see no value in your opinion". Take his social inequality seminar and you feel dumb and unintelligent. Textbook is an incredibly rough word transcript written by him, lectures are about said book, discussion questions come from the book, and everything you say must align with the book and his ideas.

One of the most helpful, intelligent, and caring professor's I have ever had! I am very lucky to have taken a class with Dr. F. Just read the textbook and show up to class to listen to him explain his thoughts and you will do just fine.

Comment:
Fleras was an engaging speaker, however, he does get a bit lost at times which can disrupt the flow of his teaching. The material was really interesting and the grading was fair. In-class assignments -get a good group. Hints at study material for tests and concisely sums the wordiness from his book during class so it's a good idea to show up.

He wrote the textbooks, so you may be required to know everything from them. Pay attention, ask questions in class, and seek help if needed. He's really passionate about his work, just a little boring when he tries to teach it.

It seems as though most of the students giving Professor Fleras negative reviews are in first-year. This guy is a real academic in the true sense of the word - very, old-school, knowledgeable and eccentric. Show up for class, look alive, and show that you care about the subject matter and you will do fine in Fleras' class. Great guy!

Lectures were boring and very repetitive. Could've summed up the entire course in 2 or fewer lectures. However, good use of videos. Tutorials were annoying.... at 9:30 PM- yikes.

Very helpful professor. Ignore the comments below. Clearly, people do not know what they are talking about or they are not doing the readings! I took this class and really enjoyed Professor Fleras' text and lectures. I learned a lot from his class and hope to take another one with him soon!

Definitely needs to be more grateful towards students for purchasing his course text - what a scam. He steals your money and treats u like ass. Don't waste your time or tuition money with Augie.

He is rude and not at all what a professor should be like. He is not understanding and thinks the world of him self. i would not recommend taking any of his courses!
