Reviews of professor James MacLellan

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Okay, this guy talks way too much. I'm not sure if it's my Sciences student side showing but he ... can't condense his lectures. Repetitive, kind of annoying. He seems sweet but his lectures are a drag. Didn't help that he sometimes lectured for 3-4h at a time. With no break. I hated it.

I do not recommend taking his course unless you want to waste your money on meaningless and verbose lectures.

this guy is sweet but his course was such a treacherous course. I know he's very passionate about his career but this guy will ramble on infinitely. Must actively engage in this course to extract and filter out any valuable info. His lecture consists of theology, philosophy, maths, sociology, economy, everything but environmental studies.

this class was 4 hours of nonsensical blabbering. slides filled with big paragraphs stacked on top of other visuals and paragraphs that he does not explain. If you don't do the readings you'll have no idea what hes saying. just wait till you see the slides. attempting to study for his exams was the bane of my existence.

The course literally consists of watching TED talks. That's it. No midterm, the two written assignments are quite easy, and the final exam is a repeat of the assignments (open book too, so bring your assignments and just rewrite it!). Lightest course ever, I took it to fulfill a D-level credit and have absolutely no regrets.
