Sure, Bray is a hard marker, but if you take the time to talk to him outside of class he can be super helpfull. Just because Burke gave you An A doesnt mean you deserved it... Brays OK

Boring, Monotone, Hardmarker! Screw the tutorials, even if you work hard you wont be marked fairly... would never take a class with him again, I wish I didnt take this one even though my mark was good, with no help from him!

Comment:

Well Dr Bray lacks the sultry tones of Dr. Burke and the wit of Dr Ambrose, there is no substitue for a man who knows the importance of Wrong and Careless and their works. I found him helpful and cheerful all the time. Sure his classes can be boring, but that over Ambrose's classes of doom anyday

Both of his classes I took were fairly interesting if you have a thing for history. Matt himself is a good professor, marks hard but only because he expects you to know what you're talking about on the tests and assignments. Very helpful, approachable.

A fairly dull class, but I ended up learning a great deal about historiography in the Canadian context. Bray is approachable and fair.

Comment:

Dr. Bray always gets the short end of the stick! His courses are usally boring because the topic is boring, the key is to have a sense of humour and laugh with him during class! It is always a good idea to keep a Calvin and Hobbes comic with you ,just in case being Wrong or Careless come up! PUN

Prof.Bray may not be the most exciting teacher but he is fair in his marking and he made me want to try hard at what i did instead teachers who dont expect anything from you he takes teaching seriously and i really enjoyed his classes. He is very kind

Professor Bray is the worst Prof I've had!!! He is very monotone and boring. His courses are so dry and he is unclear in his lectures. He thinks he knows EVERYTHING!! I would definitely not recommend him for ANY course!

Dr. Bray is the most upstanding individual I know. He would help any of his students in a pinch and he is a brilliant historian.

I took this course and found it the most boring class ever. I don't feel I learned anything regarding Canadian history. The authors and topics were so dry.

He is very dry, and thinks he knows everything about every subject, even though he makes mistakes, he won't admit it. I did not enjoy the classes that I took with him at all, I would not recommend classes taught by Bray
