Salut les jeunes; est-ce qu'on me suit?... lol best of the best je prends un cours de socio avec Mr Samedy , ce prof est très intelligent, interessant et drole! les classes sont très actifs. la seule chose c'est que vous deviez copier après lui vu qu'il ne poste rien sur brightspace ni par courriel! 2 examens maison , highly recommended.

Comment:

Monsieur Samedy is funny, however 85% of the time I was lost when he explained the structure for the midterm and the final exam. The only reason why I finish with a great mark is because of the TA. I was at the TA office hours all the time, and I did not leave until I understood. Samedy lectures are ALL OVER THE PLACE! And he does not explain well

Comment:

One of the best teacher I know! He's super funny and makes you feel comfortable in his class. His teaching style is kind of old school ( No Power Points, no BrightSpace ) you have to be present in class to get notes. Really cares about his students and he's so smart. He has all the history of the world in his brain

Il est juste le meilleur de tous. Ses étudiants l'aime, il essaie de répondre à toutes les questions, il a la réponse à pratiquement toutes les questions... Il est vieux jeu, il parle beaucoup, mais il juste drôle.

Great teacher, fun time with him. The class is a little bit hard, but not that much. The exam are easy, but it will take time to do it.

This prof does not share his email and is completely unreachable outside of class hours. He is nice and caring, but unorganized in terms of assignments. 1 paper, one big group project and 1 take home final

Comment:

This teacher is very good. A lot of student literally follows him. I am trying as well, currently at my second class and hoping to finish my 3 others with him. 2 take home exams. Very low maintenance class and is straight forward in what he is looking for the take home exams. Caring and thinks of the best for his student.

Drôle, relaxe, accessible et veut sincèrement que ses étudiants réussissent. 5% de participation son accordé à tous les étudiants; examens maisons qui sont compréhensibles mais SEULEMENT axés seulement sur son livre; si vous ne suivez pas son livre mot pour mot, vous n'allez pas réussir son cours. Bonne chance, en général il est très flexible !

Professeur Samedy : souriant, drôle et relaxe. Le succès de ses étudiants est sa priorité #1, il va vous donner tout le matériel nécessaire pour réussir (ex: pour l'examen mi-session et final, il nous a donné un plan détaillé à suivre). Si vous ne suivez pas mot pour mot son plan, vous avez un échec. P.S : il vie et respire pour son livre !!!

Professor Samedy is a really good prof! He truly cares about his students and wants them to do well! Make sure you go to class, attendance is mandatory. His exams basically consist of writing papers, very easy to get an A if you use his textbook as a guide. Definitely use the book, he reads his notes from it directly. Awesome prof! :)

Comment:

His classes are pretty vague and your notes probably won't make any sense at the end of the day, but if you use his book as a source for your assignments you'll finish with an A. Really easy midterms and finals, just make sure you go to class. He means well but his teaching style may not be for everyone.

Classe vraiment pas intéressante, j'écrivais des projets sans savoir si cela ferait du sens pourtant je finissais avec des A et des A-. Le prof fait écrire les notes de cours à la main, aucun PP, le livre est vraiment plate et incompréhensible.

Class is long &boring. He stands there and talks the whole time &you better take notes. Doesn't use blackboard or email. BUT Samedy truly cares for his students&wants everyone to do well and pass. Only a midterm &a final, both are essays. Will make jokes during class to "relax" us. Saved my grade &helped me pass. No textbook, but buy his book!!!!!!

Enseignant passionné par sa matière! Se perd parfois lors de ses explications et ses blagues... Faire absolument une écoute sélective pendant ses cours. Travail finaux clairs et faciles (Résumé d'un texte et commentaire écrit)
