Professor never answers emails, does not really help, would not recommend taking any course with him.

Interesting course, we did discussions its not mandatory to participate but make sure you take notes! There were no tests, so bless. The prof doesn't look for some next level essay for you to write, keep it simple and you should be gucci.

i have never met a more unprofessional professor. spent more than half of the 1st lecture talking about how the govt is "forcing us to take the covid vaccine" and said that covid-19 was just a chance for the govt to control people. he even said "PM blackface" completely unprompted. I came here to learn LAW, not listen to your conservative rants.

Kaschuk isn't a Professor, he is a lawyer. This makes his perspective unique, but he lacks the familiarity with academics that a Professor would have. He is very opinionated and shares his, admittedly conservative, views throughout class. He is also condescending. Assignments are unclear and graded harshly. I will actively avoid Kaschuk in future.

I highly recommend taking SOC378 with Prof Kaschuk if you're interested in studying law. He is always helpful and responsive to emails. Lectures are very interesting and consist mostly of class discussions, and the workload is very reasonable. I hope to take more classes with him in the future.

He is just a downright amazing and caring person. He cares about his students, and takes a different approach to teaching than many other instructors at UofT. I would definitely recommend taking his course. He is so intelligent and can speak on pretty much any criminal legal topic, make sure to pick his brain while you can!

His lectures were very boring and his way of talking is not very engaging but the class itself was interesting and fun because of the engaging conversations. The professor clearly has strong conservative views which he projects onto students but does promote viewing things from a different perspectives.

He is actually really good at making you look at concepts in a different perspective and actually understanding the material. His lectures are fun, engaging and very interesting. I wish we had in person classes.
