Reviews of professor David Borys

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Borys is an amazing professor.  Honestly, he is my favourite professor out of all the profs I've had at Langara. He is lectures are full of information, and never boring.  His assignments are fair, and if you have any questions, he is always there to answer them.

I found him to be a hard marker without being concise on instruction. Was very hard to get through his course not knowing what exactly he was looking for in his papers. Would not reccomend his class for credit.

His lectures are amazing and super interesting. While only half the classes are mandatory to attend (for a participatory mark) every lecture was worth it just for the interesting ideas and cool history. The mandatory classes were also fun group discussion. I really recommend just be ready for the essays.

His strengths are in his lectures and group discussions. He falls short in a number of other areas. Term paper was poorly defined, failed to attend a research workshop where we had questions directed his way instead of the librarian giving the workshop. Did not take time to go over mid-terms and where we failed/succeed. Good lecturer, poor teacher.

snobby. most definitely a tough grader. do not take if you value your gpa. i have never took exams like this as he does not provide any help or pointers to prepare this exam. he gives you a few questions and you can choose two of them to answer in essay form. not sure what his standards are and he does not give you feedback along with the score.
