Prof Dwyer's lectures were so long and intense. These lectures go for two hours straight and he does expect you to memorize it come exams. So take good notes. Tough course, but fair marker.

The absolute best Professor I've ever had. Fair with marking, teaches engaging material, very approachable, very funny. I definitely recommend taking one of his courses.

My favourite lecture to attend! He's a very funny, interesting and passionate prof, really gets you into the lecture and books that we read every week. No tests/essays but novel responses to 2-4 questions in a discussion forum every week. It's not hard, just read the book and the answers would always be based on your personal opinion. :)

Comment:
One of the best lecturers at York. His classes are well prepared, poignant, and extremely interesting. The material can be challenging at times, but that helps 1st year students prepare for uni. Do the readings prior to lecture, and you will get so much out of this course. Unfortunatley, Dwyer only teaches the first half of this course.

Wonderful course due to a wonderful professor! If you can handle reading a book a week and writing at a high level you will get the A if you are an idiot and are taking this because 'it fits in your schedule' do NOT take this course because you are likely to either drop out half way losing money or suffer through and scrape by with a C... Go Dwyer!

John Dwyer?s lectures are very interesting and entertaining. I learned a lot from his class. I would say the course isn?t exactly easy and it?s not really hard either. I believe I received a fair mark. My TA (Yemi) was also one of the better ones at York but likely not there anymore.

John Dwyer is a great professor, lecturer and a downright good guy. While the class itself is hard and most would find the material to be too much, John makes it easy and clear. If you are an idiot, do not take his class for he will own you up! If you have a genuine enthusiasm for learning John has a doubled enthusiasm for teaching. A+ Prof.

Comment:
I was in his SOSC2340 class. He is extremely biased to the left. Not a communist, more so a hypocritical socialist who has clearly dabbled in Marxist learnings. If you are taking this class for a FAIR perspective on business ethics--you won't get it. Extremely biased course and professor. I would not recommend taking this course.

HO my! Such a great prof. It was a good class. I have learned a lot from it and I am sure that if not prof Dwyer I would not have liked it at all. He managed to make everything, even the driest material interesting.

He explains things in the most comprehendible form possible…if you don’t understand him your definitely a dumbass. He has some serious talent and keeps me from falling asleep, which is more than I can say for many York professors. He has strong view points but keeps an open mind. I never miss his lectures, this man cracks me up! Also, as a plus I’v
