Reviews of professor Dale Montgomery

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I've taken multiple classes with Dale and despite the fact he"s no easy A, I find myself doing well in his classes due to the quality of his lectures. Dale is very friendly and approachable as well as a funny teacher. I would recommend him to anyone.

He can be intimidating at times, as he is very loud and can come off a bit confrontational however he is very kind and an honest, fair instructor.

on the first day I wasn't sure what to think, he seemed sort of strict and no nonsense. I am glad I was proven wrong, while his class is very heavy on lecture content he makes his expectations for exams and papers clear.

His class is very lecture based when in class. If you skip you will not pass. we had to this paperback and we would write about different chapters every week. I personally do not recommend him if you want a good grade. His term papers are also really hard. But as a person he's nice and passionate about history.

Took him for special topics WW2. Great guy with amazing lectures. Only issue I have is he is a bit tougher than the average history/Poli prof (got an A- for the amount of effort I usually give to receive an A/A+). Take Dale if your interested in the material of the course, not if you want a GPA booster.

Dale is very clearly a committed historian and not only takes great interest in what he teaches, but in teaching itself. If you are not previously knowledgeable on the second world war or geography you will likely have a hard time keeping up as it is not within the scope of the class. I could not recommend Professor Montgomery more.

I took his 1130 online, he seems to be an easy marker for online classes but his in-person classes are hard. Hes a hard marker and would eventually not mark well if you dont participate in class engagement. To be heard, you have to talk out in front of 30-40 people. This is an intro class, so its hard to participate.

Dale is probably the best prof I have had during my time at Langara. He invokes tons of discussion and critical thinking and really makes you get interested in the material. His expectations are high but the outline of the test is given in clear detail before going into one. You will know exactly what you have to go over and if you do, easy A.

I personally do not really hate his class. He is kind and respected. However, he teaches based on PowerPoint and his PowerPoint is hard to understand. His test is also extremely hard for me.

The class content is not written in the textbook, so you have to listen carefully to the lecture and take notes on everything. The textbook is a collection of historical document clippings that are difficult to read, and the course is very time-consuming with term projects and discussions based on novels.
