This guy is hilarious, I've literally never had a funnier teacher. His lectures are extremely engaging. You will actually want to go to his class. He's not very easy, but you can get a solid B no problem.

awful. takes forever to give back papers, with very little feedback for students to improve. lacks manners and is ridiculously self-involved.

Comment:

Parry-Giles is a very entertaining lecturer and knowledgable about his subject matter. His personality can be rather brash at times, which turns some people off. Expect to work very hard in this class. He rarely gives As, but I'd say his classes are still worth it.

He's alright I guess. I loved that one square bob sponge pants blooper he made during a lecture, has me laughing to this day. I will never look at the news media the same way after haven took his class. But, you can forget about an A!

It's a difficult class, but he's a nice guy. It's hard to get an A in his classes, but I had no trouble getting a "B."

Comment:

Parry-Giles is inarticulate and unduly pretentious. He is unclear about his expectations and, unfortunately, very clear on whatever disapproval he may have with your papers/essays on exams. Althought he can be funny, he can also be incredulous, unbending, partisan, and discriminatory. Expect to receive a poor grade from Parry-Giles.

Great prof...courses can have a bit of a liberal slant, but I'm a right wing conservative and I still loved his course
