Curtis made the lecture fun. However, he is sassy and might come off as rude. Sometimes he just looks at his own point of view.

Curtis really cares about his students. His feedbacks are very detailed and personalized. He is approachable and responds immediately to emails. He also gives optional assignments for extra credit (everyone should take advantage of this). I highly recommend taking his class..

I found Curtis to be unpersonable and rude at times. If you ask a question you are met with complete aggression. I found he was not understanding in the least and needs to learn how to speak more professionally to students.

Curtis is the most understanding, caring prof I've ever had. He cares so much for his students! He is very personable and funny, creating a comfortable classroom. He's straight forward with what he expects from every student and does not mark hard. He'll also be your number one fan and always encourage you.

Even though he's a great prof Interesting but funny sense of humor.. I don't find that this particular class was outlined properly (it was still in the testing stages) When it comes to marking, you need to question the grading strategy. If there is no guidelines there should be more room for grading with an open mind.

Curtis is one of the best professors I have taken, he is caring about his students and teaches the concepts based on real life! He has so much experience in the field which is helpful because it makes the class wayyy more interesting. He makes time for his students and this class is easy.

Comment:
Mr. Magnuson reminds me of a scholarly Mr. Rogers. He's a very calm, thoughtful, and accepting individual. He shared course-relevant personal stories which made class more interesting. Group discussion is encouraged in every class, and we did do one group project. Overall, an EXCELLENT PROF.

Comment:
Curtis did take a long time to mark assignments that had been handed in. During lectures he would tell anecdotal stories that were often times irrelevant and inappropriate for class time. His assignments were often not clear on exactly what he wanted. He was fair enough, but did clearly show pride in some students over others.

Curtis knows his stuff, offers excellent slides prior to class, and entertains the material. Even though law can be tedious, class was always interesting. Curtis brought each act and legislation to life with true stories. Tests were difficult but fair....one tip-if he says don't write a report-just answer questions..HE MEANS it!

Curtis is fair with his marking and clear with expectations. On a personal level, Curtis solicits information, pertinent to departmental politics, in an insidious manner. He probably should have been a lawyer.
