Comment:

I do not know why everyone is complaining so much. It wasn't that bad taking 363 this semester. Granted, it is a lot of work, but it is also rewarding. If you put some effort into your studies with O'Connor, you'll be fine.

Tough. Boring. Changes G.A. marks on term papers to as much as 20% lower than original grade. Not recommended.

This guy is unbelievable, he dropped everyone's grades approx. 10% on the research paper because the class average was too high. DO NOT TAKE CLASSES WITH HIM!!

Comment:

this theory class was so boring and not useful at all for my thesis. Not sure if he knows much theory or if he is a poser. Some say he is a late bloomer since he is in his 50s and just got his ph.D. But rumour is he only got hired at Windsor by riding his wife's (also a prof.) coat-tails.

Comment:

Difficult marker, doesn't give explanations for his grades either. Alot of course content that isn't explained by him, but rather fellow students. He also wouldn't return emails...emailed him three times with no response. Seems like a nice person, just not an effective-helpful professor.

Comment:

Alot of independent study and alot of reading. However, if you go to lectures everything is thoroughly explained by other students (i.e. presentations). Lots of written work in the form of essays so if you're not a good writer or you don't like to write papers, don't take the class. Very interesting material.

The best prof. at the U. Sure he has expectations and if you talk to him he will let you know exactly what to do to meet them. He makes boring stuff interesting and difficult stuff easy; what more could you ask for?

He's great! Very helpful and develops a relationship with the class. We can ask him for help on anything and he's more than willing to give it.

Dr.O'Connor is an excellent professor. very Knowledgeable and smart. I developed interest in sociology after I took a couple of courses from him. Take his classes if you want to learn about society.
