Reviews of professor Antoine Panaioti

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Prof is knowledgeable but dont take this class as an elective. over 60 pages of readings every week with 1+ hour lecture. He also made q&as mandatory and cut off marks for not attending which was stupid. He is nice but this isnt a bird course. The readings are kinda hard but if youre into this subject you will definitely like him & the course

Professor Antoine is a real gem! He maintains an unbiased academic approach to the text but still manages to deliver interesting lectures that move you. His teaching methods force you to analyze the source material critically and he loves academic disputes in the form of disagreements and informed counter-arguments. 10/10 would take it again.

He is a decent professor but his TA's mark hard and give no concrete feedback to help one improve their marks.

I took him in Winter 2020. It seems the course has changed but regardless he is a good professor. He is far from easy and you do have to put work into it. Seems like students forget that you need to put work in to get good marks a lot of the time. Not a bird course and you should be a good essay writer if you expect a decent mark.

did not like this professor. very unorganized, the course wasn't up on d2l until the third week of the semester, as well as the syllabus, was posted on d2l until the seventh week of the semester. He had decided to make the QnA's mandatory to attend since he noticed lack of attendance in them, deducted 7% from your final if you don't participate

Extremely knowledgeable and is able to translate that with his students efficiently. The readings are very interesting and thought-provoking, I was always excited to attend his class. The material itself is sometimes difficult to understand but he allocates a lot of time for questions and clarifications. I highly recommend!

No online material, you MUST show up & take notes. Lots of reading but I only read the parts he outlined in lectures and was fine. There is 2 in class essays and an exam, all open book so get ready to print A LOT. He is open to feedback and very accommodating, but this class could be difficult if you are not a strong writer.

Dr. Panaioti is extremely knowledgeable in his field. He is also extremely funny and his lectures are entertaining and helpful. The layout of his course was so amazing, and he lets students debate topics between each other, while being a moderator. He encourages you to think and ask questions, and is easily one of the best profs I've ever had.

Dr. P is an absolute stud. Legit, one of the most brilliant profs I've ever had. Some people are complaining about difficultly? The guy was literally throwing free participation marks for just showing up to his online lectures, which was 25% of the grade. And what? Two 4 page papers and a take home exam? An easy grade if you at least try.
