Reviews of professor Christopher Giles

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Chris is very easy going and very easy to talk to. He will always make time to see you outside of class if help is needed. His final assignment is a long one however, he is very clear in what he is looking for and will answer any questions. I would take him again for sure!

Amazing prof! Do take a class with him if you can. Put in lots of effort when studying the material, and you will get an A. When the class performed poorly, for all four exams, he took off marks to raise everyone's averages. He is incredibly clear. VERY fast marker and responder, I was impressed. Tad passive aggressive when answering questions tho.

Professor Giles is an amazing instructor. Always provide exam reviews which are really helpful.

I took my CRIM 1208 course with Chris last summer and it was the best decision I've made! Chris is very kind and considerate. The final project is big but the way he stages assignments, builds up to it. I am not a CRIM major but the course was enjoyable because of his delivery. Attendance does matter because of the content.

Highly Recommend!

Professor Giles' CRIM 2330 was one of the best classes I've taken at KPU! Not only was the course material super fascinating but Giles, as an instructor, was great. The course (online) was synchronous and consisted of textbook reading, weekly lectures (with audio and video), zoom sessions, exams and a final research paper.

Entire grade is basically made up of 2 exams and 1 assignment. Also a tough grader and not many people do good on his exams. Would not recommend.

He is very passionate about what he teaches .You have to attend his lectures and do readings and just finish up things on time . For him , effort matters a lot . I thought this class would be hard, but I ended up scoring well . All we have to do is follow what he says .Attend classes and put in the required effort and he won't let u down

Chris isn't the best professor to have if you are a slow learner. If you don't understand something, he may think of you as an inconvenience. You basically have to teach yourself because he's no help. He also takes questions off exams (including the final) after marking them because all of his students fail or almost did. I don't know how I passed.

Hes writing on feedback is tough to read but his passion even in the toughest and even a boring course showed and made his class something i enjoy going to. Sitting down and talking to him is always enjoyable and insightful

I've taken both CRIM 1100 (pre-pandemic) and 1208 (during COVID) and I've loved both. He is my favourite criminology professor at this school and I'd recommend others take him too. You have to show up to class, read, and participate to do well. He makes sure you learn and get the best possible grade though, especially if you communicate!
