Good lecturer who teaches interesting content. Has fair expectations. The paper was only 8 pages and the exams were very reasonable. Just go to class and do your readings. It's not that deep.

Loads of people recommended this prof to me but I found him to be a tough marker and to be very rude during student presentations by always interrupting with snide comments half way through. That being said he is clearly very knowledgable about youth crime and deviance- if this is your area of interest would def recommend connecting with this prof!

He is extremely passionate, an amazing lecturer, and a fair tester. His exams are heavily based on textbook material but if you actually go to his classes you wont need to read the book. He is an amazing lecturer, I actually wanted to listen to him and go to class. I tell everyone that i adore him, despite his hard exams!

Professor O'Grady really knows his stuff. I am highly impressed about the knowledge he demonstrates through his lectures. He is very passionate about what he studies, which in my opinion makes the lectures very interesting. He presents his lectures a very easy way to understand and follow. I also found his tests fair, nothing designed to trick you

Really helpful, and super passionate about the topic he teaches (homelessness in Canada). The structure of the course wasn't the greatest for the material (test, presentation, paper, exam). I feel like I could have gotten more out of the course if it was structured differently.

I loved this class and I thought Professor O'Grady was awesome. He is extremely knowledgable and passionate about his work so I found it extremely interesting. He doesn't use overheads though so attending lectures and taking good notes is critical.

He wrote the book for the class which makes the course a lot easier. The lectures were interesting and he talked a lot about his own research. If your going to take this course you should take it with him.

Comment:
his class notes are barely even considered skeleton notes so attendance is a must. the course has very little substance so the classes get redundant/dull. there is too much emphasis on the specifics in readings rather than the notes

I enjoyed his class because the material was interesting but I can see how sometimes he could be dull. His exams were SOOO easy, and he was just generally a nice guy.

Comment:
Really dozy teacher. For all three tests I wondered if he was baked when he wrote them. He's an easy teacher, but that doesn't mean you'll do well on the test. He'll put useless stuff on there like statistics, which are really easy to know but you will have no way of knowing what to study. Doesn't give a dam about his students either.

I found his class to be interesting. Encouraged an open forum of to share ideas as well as student centred learning. Worthwhile to take a class with him.

an awfully dry man. he possesses no charisma whatsoever and presents his information haphasardly and bland, which does not incline students to pay much attention to him or be very interested in what he has to say. he is also quite rude...dont take his course, especially if its at night

Probably the best professor that I've had in my post-secondary education. He is interesting, knowledgeable, fair and shows a great enthusiasm for the subject. I found him to be very approachable and appears to genuinely care about the students in his class.
