Comment:

Good prof. Sometimes he rambles on about boring stuff. He tells jokes that he thinks are hilarious. Usually no one is laughing except him. He loves his topics and he's very knowledgable. Lots of reading in the coursepack. Little bald head.

Comment:

I hate Dr. Widdicombe's lectures. He's so boring and he drifts off the topic too much and for too long. If his class wasn't manditory for my degree I wouldn't have taken it. He has a hard time getting his point across and he should really look into getting a microphone for his classes because he mumbles a lot.

Dr. Widdicombe is the man! Disgustingly smart, hilariously funny, clear, kind, brilliant, relaxed. Lectures are informative and interesting, and he goes beyond just analyzing the texts.

RiDICULOUS! I learned very little from his lectures, and for pete's sake he went on a tangent about a story regarding a BEAR for 45 minutes!! The man needs a refresher course himself on not how to be a completely laughable teacher.

A very easy professor..but the big problem is that he is very unclear...he keeps have to repeat himself and he has difficulty getting his point across, but sometimes this leads to a lot of unplanned humour.

Comment:

He should not be teaching religious studies! He assumes everyone has a Christian background, this bias was very obvious. Also, his lectures were never relevant, I learned more from reading the text book. It was painful to attend his lectures!

Very intelligent, incorporates own valid personal experiences into lecture. Keeps the class interested in the material through his own excitement. Will happily clarify in lecture on points you are unsure of. A fun prof.

Comment:

He's a lil quirky in an an intellectual sort of way. Brilliant and knows his subject matter intensely. Pure scholar. Not necessarily a great lecturer, but I'd rather have dry brilliance than interesting mediocrity any day.

Comment:

I just wanted him to shut up. I learned everything from the book that we had to read for the quizzes, and my tutorial leader. He went off topic all the time, told ridiculous unrelated stories, and was really just the most boring teacher of the year.
