Comment:
i didnt learn anything in this class. his lectures werent organized; he just randomly talked about irrelevant people in history. no text book either, so i was pretty much screwed. luckily the exam was based on the tutorial so i got a decent grade. ive been avoiding his classes since.

The most interesting thing about this class was trying to figure out whether or not he was wearing a toupee. If it weren't for the absurd brightness of his wacky ties, I wouldn't have been able to keep my eyes open. Plus, he lectured overtime on a constant basis.

Very enthusiastic and passionate about course material. Always willing to help students. Made history interesting. However, sometimes would go overtime and had a tendency to lecture too fast.

Cruikshank would be a good teacher if he was so boring. Good info... but sleep inducing.

A very entertaining prof who does a good job of encompassing a lot of complex history in a short period of time. Good use of primary sources, media, etc. A pleasure to come to class, even if he kept us over by like 5 minutes each time...

Dr. Cruikshank is a great prof. He had a great teaching style and he was very fair. If you worked hard, you got a great mark. Guaranteed. He is a very understanding guy. Great work! It has been a few years since I've been at Mac, but i remember him!
