Comment:

Dr. Fraser is a legend. I started my university career as a 40 year old mature student in 2008 and he was my first professor. I now hold a Master's Degree in Political Science from U of T and he has been an inspiration, and tremendous intellectual and academic guide. I strongly recommend him as a teacher and also his Canadian History course.

I took a bridging course with Dr. Fraser, I had no intention of going any further. I'm now halfway through my undergrad and have him to thank for it! My grades (deservedly) started low but improved significantly at the end. He gives tons of assistance and I'm now sitting at a GPA of 3.7 due to his essay writing advice . Can't praise him enough!

Comment:

ABP-History. This is the best prof you can have. Do what he says and take his advice, you will get a good grade. Low marks first, higher near the end. Talks about final exam a lot. Great start to university with him. You have to do all of the work in this course. Nothing bad to say about this guy. Consider yourself lucky to have Fraser as a prof.

Fraser was passionate and inspirational. He was quick to respond to any questions but couldn't always answer the question. I can't imagine taking the bridging course from anyone else.

Comment:

Fraser is an amazing professor. He genuinely cares about his students and their success. He is a role model for other professors. His classes are tough, but he'll tell you that himself. He is very clear on his expectations and what work will be covered in exams and tests. He will never deny anyone help. Very glad to have taken his class.

Fraser has a fabulous sense of humor & is quick to help those who may need it. I only wish he taught outside of the ABP.

Comment:

Professor Fraser is the best introduction anyone could have to U of T. He is patient and attentive and genuinely cares about your progress and academic future. His passion for History is contagious and it's a shame he doesn't teach outside of ABP because it would a treat to learn from him again.

HE IS AN EXTREMLY INTERTESTING TEACHER. I COULD NEVER HAVE IMAGINED A PROF. AT UNIVERSITY BEING SO HELPFUL AND UNDERSTANDING TOWARDS HIS STUDENTS HE ACTUALLY CARES AND IT SHOWS. YOU DO HOWEVER NEED TO WORK YOUR BUTT OFF BUT HIS TEACHING OF HOW TO WRITE AN ESSAY IS SOMETHING MOST OF US NEEDED! HE IS AMAZING

Comment:

definately the hardest I've ever worked before...I guess you could call that motivating. Some of the best/only teaching i've ever heard on critical analysis & essay writing - it was much needed and much appreciated. Fraser's class is well worth the work.

He is nice. He taught me to write an essay. He is hard as hell. We lost 50% of our class. He is a good guy but needs to be clearer on his expectations.

Comment:

Fraser is a God. I'm in third year with a 3.3 GPA ONLY becuase he taught me how to write an essay. He made it impossible not to love school (and history). (Oh and he looks like Sean Connery on a good day). Long live Robert Fraser!
