Reviews of professor Lloyd Dempsey

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I have taken 3 courses with Dempsey. YOU MUST SHOW UP TO CLASS! As mentioned, he does not have slides for his lectures, it is mostly auditory. He is old-school in his way of teaching but I really enjoy that he challenges you throughout his courses. Keeps you on your toes! NS 111 is the most difficult because of midterms. 400 levels are engaging!

Took several course with Dempsey. He is really knowledgeable about all Indigenous topics and willing to share everything he knows. He does not use PPTs, as he relied solely on speaking on the topics. A good rule with Dempsey is he has repeated something in multiple classes then it is probably going to be on the final.

This prof is a lot of fun to listen to lecture, but he does not have any slideshows or powerpoints or hand outs. You are expected to sit and listen, and regurgitate very specific information on tests. If you are an exclusively auditory learner and take incredible notes you can succeed with this professor. He is a great and knowledgable prof though.

Overall, I didn't mind his class. Lloyd is incredibly knowledgeable in his field and respectful of in class discussion. His class however consists of 3 midterms (one of which you can drop the lowest grade off), 2 article critiques, and 1 final and almost all of his tested information is from in class lectures so make sure you attend every class.
