Comment:

He's extremely knowledgable but very boring to listen to. The course would be 10x better if he made powerpoints to present instead of going over literally 1000's of pages of actual acts in class that we skip most of anyways. He gives you a list of question topics before tests because there is no way someone could reread everything he's given you.

Comment:

If you have any ounce of energy to keep awake, this prof is a real gem. Yes, he does have an incredulous amount of information on his slides, and yes, 40% of his power point is skipped. But his jokes are hilarious, and his explanation and interpretation of the law is second to none. He tells you whats going to be on the tests the week before.

Comment:

Even though the material is pretty dry since you're just going over the OHSA in entirety, this prof really sets you up for success. I think he does a great job of teaching the material, and the review classes before the midterm and final exam will let you know exactly what to study. I would gladly take every OHS course with Dr. Strahlendorf

The exact opposite of concise. Powerpoints are hundreds of pages long and he talks very slowly for 3 hours. But he tells you whats on the exams.

Comment:

He has a dry sense of humor which can be appreciated. His teaching style is very dull, and there are too many slides(200+) in each lecture. He just puts up the regulations with no explanations. For the midterm and final exam, he does give you an overview of what will be on it which helps a little. If there was a choice, I wouldn't recommend him.

He gives you a full break down of the midterm and the exam the week before, so you can study exactly what you need to know. It's a hard class but if you put work into it you'll do alright. Plus the class average is usually around 60% so he bell curves up to about 74%.

Peter is a Great Prof! He is so educated & you learn so much in his class. He is hilarious, lectures are 3 hours but he releases you after 2.5 hours. Go to class so you know what to study because law itself is a different language so your presence in class will help you alot. He provides you with an awesome review for each exam so you're set!

Must attend every lecture to do well and study a lot. Every powerppoint has over 100 slides. Lectures are heavy with no break and lots of information. Tests are all multiple choice and are not tricky if you know your stuff.

Comment:

Peter Strahlendorf is definitely an extremely bright and knowledge individual, but as a professor he is downright terrible. He copy and pastes entire acts into his slide shows with little to no commentary in them. He has a very monotone voice and is generally boring. The course is beyond easy but an absolute bore.

Comment:

Not going to lie, he's kind of dry. He does however, make funny jokes. He's been teaching this course for about 30 years, so he really knows what he's talking about! don't let yourself fall behind, as the midterm is 40% and the final is 60%

Comment:

Peter is a great prof. The material itself is very boring and his slides are very very long BUT if you go to class he does explain it in a way that you will understand and he gives examples. You have to go to his review classes before the midterm and exam. You will find yourself falling asleep in his classes until he says something really funny

Teaches a very boring subject. His classes require a lot of reading, however it is impossible to get a poor mark in this course as we will bell curve everyone up.

If you have a friend who goes to all his lectures and takes notes, they need to become your best friend. Although his classes are droning and boring with a monotone voice, he gives the best reviews for the exam, and a whole lot of space to make mistakes His bell curves are wonderful, and give you a great bump up.

Very thorough, lectures are full of information. Covers topics fully. Only problem is his voice. Very monotone; makes it hard to focus and makes you sleepy. Has funny jokes. Sends you notes for some of the lectures. Overall a decent prof.

Comment:

No textbook, lecture ppt can go up to 400 slides.. They are just a compilation of statutes. You need to go to class to understand the context of it and he'll tell you what is important. Exams are quite tricky, make sure you know the section numbers for each law. 40% MT, 60% final, non-cumulative

Comment:

Lectures are super long and super boring, but there is no textbook so you have to go to class. His lectures dont really make a lot of sense but he explains things verbally very well. He tells you exactly what's on the midterm (worth 40%) and final exam (worth the other 60%), and bellcurves grades.

Comment:

Great prof who explains the intricacies of law well. He has a very sarcastic and dry sense of humour. He literally tells the class what's on the midterm or exam the lecture before--follow that. It's actually what's on the test. He also bell curves the grades.
