This prof is still by far one of my favourites! His lectures were inspiring, interesting and full of valuable information. I fell in love with the study of IDS following this course. This course requires plenty of participation and reading, but you will gain so much from it! Highly recommend!!

Comment:

Eduardo is one of the best profs at York, he really knows his material and his lectures are very interesting, clear and insightful but in order to do well you need to put the effort. Loads of readings especially for a first year student, so if your looking for an easy A do not take this course!

I loved Professor Canel. He treats his students in a great manner and is very helpful. He is an extremely fair person and will go to great lengths to make sure his students understand the material.

Really enjoyed this class, it is very hard and very dense, but you learn a lot, i have taken away so much from this first year course, i would suggest anyone to take it, im in special ed and was able to pass with a B so if you work hard you will do great :) was a very nice prof and very informative !

One of the best classes I took in first year! The content was interesting, and the prof and TAs were helpful and friendly. Workload was bearable, and focused on readings! But overall an awesome course & prof with a sens of humour

Comment:

not a fan of him at all! i suggest you do not take this cause it is not easy & if ur looking for a class that will boost ur GPA this is not the class. He listed almost 70 topics to study for the exam but only 10-15 were on it. He is VERRY boring & i always fell asleep in this class but if u do take this class NEVER MISS A READING OR A LECTURE!!!!!!

Comment:

This class was by far one of the most interesting, and helpful classes of my university career. Professor Canel is punctual (with many professors are not at this university) and does not just convey his opinion, he offers both sides of the argument. Go in with an open mind, and you will definitely leave enriched, educated and enlightened.

Comment:

The lectures were plain and simple to follow. However, your grade depends on you showing up to class, doing the readings and maintaining a good relationship with your TA. The readings are a bit difficult if you are a first year in my opinion so you really need to work hard, ask questions and attend office hours in order to do well.

Comment:

I guess this is because it is a social science class, but I notice that he fails to mention that everything he says is just based on opinion, not fact. Him, together with his TA's treat lecture material like facts, which is quite laughable coming from someone who isn't in social sciences.

This prof is very tough and strict. If you are late by a minute for lecture he wont let you enter! His marking is extremely strict. Cant understand his accent. He does not put up slides for review at a later date.

Comment:

AMZING PROF! He explains concepts clearly, and keeps course material relevant. Keep in mind though, that this is a hard course, and you need to constantly attend the lectures and do readings. The payoff though is worth it! He is one of the best professors that I've had, and it would be so sad if you miss an opportunity to be part of his class.

Awesome prof. Organized, reliable and well spoken. Focuses a little bit too much on Latin America but the point is still driven home.

Extremely passionate about his subject matter, intelligent and a great lecturer. He is the best professor that I've ever had. He would always start his classes with music that the student brought for him. Professor Canel has exceptional teaching quality.
