Comment:

His notes were just cut and pasted from the text. His exam was not what he told us was going to be on there. It was very dissappointing having a prof who is very one sided on his view of education.

In my opinion, not fit to teach geography. He stand there and reads the powerpoint slides word for word...thats it. I drew pictures in class. Bring something fun to do or a pillow.

Comment:

This guy should go back to Tamiskamang, he certainly never shuts up about it. If he would teach a lesson things might be moderately ok, but COME ON! He never gets through the material, and if wasn't for the TA's nothing would EVER get done. Oh yeah, he also insulted the Christian Faith. No joke, he called Christians communists. Beware, stay away.

Comment:

He is my enemy. the assignments were ridiculous and inappropriate. they are based on what he needs for his own personal research. i'm not paying him to do his work. he drags on and on off topic about his own personal experiences. Only benefit to this course was that if you did the work you got an easy mark. Overall, waste of my time.

Comment:

I don't have a problem with boring - that's what daydreaming is for - but this man provides no information of any value whatsoever to any lecture I have had with him. The articles we read are actually valuable, but unfortunately he chooses to address term after useless term on slide after poorly written slide. Horrible.

Though perhaps this is not the most interesting class, Bolger does his best to make it bearable. Though he is not the best prof he has a heart of gold and always gives 100%.

Comment:

Went to about half my seminars, and ended up with an 86 in the course. I don't even remember any concepts from it, why is this manditory? Oh well, Bolger is easy people. May be a bit boring, but w/e, I have no interest in soc, so having such easy marks from a required course is not a bad thing.

Comment:

He is so self involved that you can't tell if he's telling you somehting important, or just telling you how great he is. He may have been a good principal, but he misses the mark as a prof.
