Reviews of professor Kevin Anderson

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
He's a chill person & his lectures are well balanced: enough info online if you miss a few classes, but you still benefit from actually attending. But he needs to start monitoring his TAs, as they are harsh markers for a second-year course, give almost no feedback, rarely attend classes & are on phones in exams instead of helping/watching students.

Terrible class, the TAs Areej and Chisara were some of the worst in my four years of university, and Kevin's inability to take accountability is crazy [the TAs took off point for sentence structure and grammar for an INPERSON HANDWRITTEN EXAM] Dont take this class, 60 pages of reading a week too.

60 pages of readings, mandatory since he does reading quizzes on the main arguments and little details and names. Marks hard as hell, so do the TAs, its a 300-level class and I have had a 500-level POLI class mark more reasonable.

Do not be fooled by Dr. Anderson's cardigans and shy demeanour. He is scary and an extremely tough marker with unclear expectations. He was also not very engaging. On a positive note: he was wicked with questions in class. Don't be shy if you have a question: he will have the answer or an approximation. His readings were also great.

 This course contains SO MUCH valuable information on Canadian history but the professor and TAs just set everyone up for failure. Im not sure even one person enjoyed the actual assessments of this class. Graded way too harsh for a 300-level

Midterm is in class, short answer and hand written. Final is an essay in class and hand written. Research paper is worth 35% and the TA's mark it like a graduate thesis. Kevin is nice but out of touch with reality, you post short answer midterms or essay-based finals online on D2L, they do not have to be handwritten like its 1940
