Comment:
Where to begin.. He has a 30% participation grade that he makes nearly impossible to get the grade you deserve. His tests and quizzes are all online and multiple choice, making it very hard for the student, but easy for him to grade. His lectures are repetitive and extremely boring. You will likely get angry if you take this class. Don't it's awful

Comment:
Forkey is soft-spoken intellectual man. As a professor, i liked his teaching style and he tried his best to get lots of guess speakers. His grading style is quite annoying, making it almost impossible to get a 4.0 in the class

Comment:
I honestly couldn't stand this professor. He gave very low grades for writing that I worked hard on, and I've always been a good writer. When I asked for comments he would brush me off. I spent most of finals week writing his final paper and got a B-, and when I asked why he raise my grade a bit to get rid of me. Unbelievable.

A boring and easy professor. His tests seem easy but he grades them harder than you expect him to.

One of the best professors I've had at SLU. His lectures can be a bit long at times, but man does he know his stuff. He may come off as arrogant to some, but I believe he is just really passionate about his work. Really easy going guy. Funny too. Team teaching worked well during this class. Just make sure you read!

Very good lectures, but long. He can be a tough grader but helpful and you learn a lot if you pay attention. Some think he comes off as arrogant, but I don't know. Not good at team teaching he tends to dominate the class. Overall enjoyable class if you like history.

Comment:
Features the dullest lectures I've ever experienced. If there weren't an attendance policy you would literally be better off reading the text and staying home. He tends to reiterate what the text says over, and over, and over. At least then you can sleep in your bed and not a chair. Easiness is his only saving quality.

The Forkster. What can I say, he likes to say he's hard but as the semester wears on, he gets easier. Never had problems, and I know too much about Canada than I ever wanted to know.

Really awesome teacher. He knows more about Canada than any Canadian. Loves to hear himself talk, but has something to say, usually something really interesting! He can answer any question you could possibly ask and really loves subject. Great advisor!
