Reviews of professor Christopher Giles

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
His lectures are boring and felt like I learned nothing in his class. Did not like how his course syllabus and lectures are unorganized and too much information on one topic. Also, there's too many rules he makes on assignments and information, which makes it hard to pass. Would not recommend taking his class.

Professor Giles was great providing a fun environment and engaging lectures for the summer semester. Lots of reading from the txt book and his PowerPoint is a must to succeed on the class paper.

Chris is a really nice guy, but unfortunately does not know how to teach properly. I felt like I wasn't really learning anything during lectures. Students did so terrible on the first two exams that he had to cut questions so that more than half of us could even pass. He doesn't give good feedback and is very unwelcoming to students who need help.

not fit to be a professor

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Chris cares that you understand the material and it shows. Always offering outside of class help, and is passionate about what he teaches. Gives study guides on what is going to be on the exams and if you go to class he verbally points to what is on the exams. Also will alter the exam weight depending on the class average in your favour!

Chris is one of the best professors in the entire university. I highly recommend taking him if you want to learn lots and have fun doing it! He is lenient and understanding. CRIM 1100 is a great course and Chris teaches it well.

I took CRIM 1100 with him as my professor back in 2018. It was easy. However, please DO NOT take CRIM 1208 with this professor because it was tough and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Despite that, Chris will always be at the Learning Centre to help you with nearly any crim assignments/projects. A respectable person overall.
