Reviews of professor Stephen Hume

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Horrible professor. He's tenured so he doesn't care, but he is simply awful. Mean, judgmental and a tough grader- if you don't write his way he will fail you (even if the writing is correct). I regret taking this instead of an English class. It was much harder, uncomfortable, and had nothing to do with Economics. Don't make the same mistake.

Very clearly explains concepts, and is often available for further clarification when needed. Super tough at times, strictly no BS or excuses. I saw him fail a student on the spot during the one of our final classes. However, it was because he didn't meet an easy deadline. Show up and stay on track and anyone can get an A.

The best professor I have met in Uvic! You can get a good grade if u work hard!

He doesn't teach much of anything, and the quiz questions are kind of random. Almost all of your grade comes from 3-4 quizes. You have to do a presentation with no slides or notes for some reason, and is graded strangely. Not fun, don't recommend.

Very useful writing class! Very clear lecture and justified grading standard.

Oh man he sucks, will give lots of feedback but it is all very vague and not helpful. The materials he gives you in class barely correlate with the quiz questions and he relies heavily on subjective questions on tests. If he doesn't like the way you word something even if grammatically correct he will mark you wrong. Just brutal especially online.
