Comment:

I know he is gone and likely won't be coming back, but I wanted to write this because I gave him a pretty harsh rating when I took his classes. Now I am working in government and I now understand just how much he knows about how the system works and what he was teaching. For those of us who didn't pay attention including me we missed out.

Wow, a real let down when I found out he won't be teaching this year. As usual, the university lets another quality prof go while keeping the dead weight. At least Cross is back if only for one course.

Comment:

Boring but clear. First Pols 1000 prof with overheads to guide the student. First Pols 1000 prof where we didn't need the overheads. An ok section of the course. Wears dress pants, a t-shirt and a dress shirt everyday of his life!

Comment:

Perhaps I'll see why his ratings are not as high as some of the others later on, but he was by far the best of this year's 1000 profs. His objectives were very clear, he consistently lectured on them, and his exam was fair. What more do you want?

Just a really nice guy. His lectures don't count for anything besides showing up to participation. Essays are touch and go; you can do well or not too good. I'm sure with age he'll improve.

Painfully boring and a drag to listen to. Not creative enough. Loves to cite television. Only skims the surface... his analysis is juvenile.

Comment:

Very clear and very helpful to those who ask for it. Also, I disagree with the international student below. I think he goes of his way to keep his examples as general as possible. Plus, last time I checked the subject matter was Canadian politics.

He knows his stuff but all his examples can only be understood by Canadian students. So whats the rest of us International Students don't know who certain members of the canadian cabinet are.

Comment:

He is an extremely fair and flexible professor. He's passionate about what he is teaching, and although the constant "is this clear" question can be a little annoying at times, at least he's always making a conscious effort to make sure people

Not the greatest lecturer ever, but fairly entertaining and informative. Definitely willing to help if you ask for it. Very generous deadline policy.

He's kind of insecure. Reads off his notes... and keeps saying that the material he's teaching "isn't the most interesting." What a way grab your attention!

An easy marker, helpful and approachable and has plenty of reading material for his classes. But his lectures are usually riddled with "ummmm's"
