Comment:

Prof. Fuhr is a fantastic History Prof. He has a passion for hockey and likes to talk a lot about meeting up with players and seeing games, usually at the start of the lecture. The course material itself is very interesting (if you're into Canadian History) and the book is worth a read, but is expensive. Take his class!

Nice guy but his lectures aren't clear. He doesn't give enough time for exams. He wants 2 essays done in an hour and a half. He rushes the material and doesn't give enough time for you to understand the content.

Comment:

Dr. Fuhr is a decent professor. Criteria was coherent and he put in the effort to make his lectures interesting. Easy exams (both midterm and final) and only one paper. Participation is important too. He's super chill and easy to talk to. I'd definitely recommend him.

Comment:

Im a History Major, and every Professor in my major is great, except for Bob. He is such a diffuclt marker, in any other HIstory class I would be getting great marks: in Bob's class I have gotten horrible grades. His lectures are ridiculous and long, making everyone in the class fall asleep. Will never take again, and try to avoid.

Honestly one of the nicest guys I've ever met. He marks his tests and papers a little tough but provides you with a ton feedback so you will do well on future assignments. Super super nice guy. Take a class with him. You'll like him.

Bob is nice and friendly, always says hi to you outside of class. He lectures for most of class which I prefer, not dry though, makes it interesting. Occasional easy multiple choice quizzes. Easy short presentation, which if you forget or aren't able to do it, he'll reschedule it for you. Not too much reading. Not a hard marker but not easy either.

Great teacher, explains things so thoroughly that going to lectures is totally worth it. Tough marker but at least you know you worked hard for that good grade.

Comment:

Bob is a great prof because he puts in effort towards making otherwise dry lectures more fun for the students. He gives test questions in advance, so it's easy to prepare (though, he is a hard marker) and gives basically the whole semester to do the one paper in the class. He's also just a really nice guy and makes the whole class more enjoyable.

Comment:

I've taken 2 courses with Bob and would take more. Class consists of 6 multiple choice quizzes based on assigned readings (takes your best 5 marks), midterm, essay, and final. For midtermfinal he gives you a list of documentsessays to prepare for & then puts a certain # of them on the test. Not an easy marker, but is fair. Funnynice guy.

I've taken 3 courses w Bob and I will probably take a 4th. Nice guy, easy to get along with and respected by his students. He's a big hockey fan & a bit nerdy but who isn't? Many testsquizzes but he makes them fair. He knows what it means to be a university student and is understanding towards his students.

Comment:

Bob is a decent prof. Got a B+, but had to put in the effort. One midterm, one final, one 7 page paper, and 6 quizzes where he takes your best 5 scores. Not an easy marker by any means, but if you put in the work, you should do well.

Comment:

Bob is a great teacher and even better person. He's nice, understanding, a little dorky, and very endearing. With history, there are moments of dull material, but he tries to add little anecdotes to keep things interesting. The material can be a lot to memorize, but he is reasonable and tells you specifically what to focus on to prepare for tests.

Comment:

here's the deal with bob: he's an extremely nice guy with a very straight forward course lay out. always tells you what you'll be tested on. quiz or 2, plus paper + mid term + final. HOWEVER, he's been teaching his history courses the same way for decades. If you ask him an in depth question about a topic his response is "i'm not quite sure".

Comment:

He's an amazing prof! I learned a lot about American history. He has 5 quizzes, an essay, a midterm, and a final exam. He tells you what will be on the exams so you have time to prepare. If you do your readings and attend each class, it shouldn't be hard to achieve an A. He is a fair marker and gives a lot of feedback. Very helpful and kind.
