Reviews of professor Steven Orr

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
100% recommend that you take this prof if you get the chance. He made the online learning environment super accessible for students, giving the option to do it either synchronous or asynchronous and optional assignments. His recorded lectures were super interesting and hilarious, he would add it random audio clips for effect. Fun class & prof.

Feedback is not clear whatsoever. You can put 100% in and still get a D-, even if you make valid points as to why it's not fair, he will still mark however he feels.

Dr. Orr is one of the best profs Ive had in the 5 years Ive been in uni. Hes incredibly thoughtful and helpful. He gives you the opportunity to ask lots of questions and discuss exactly what you need from him. His expectations are clear and he provides a really fun and engaging atmosphere. I cannot recommend his courses enough.

If you don't want a tough time passing the course despite trying hard (and unfair grading and feedback), do not take this course under any circumstances. I've never had such condescending and rude feedback come back from someone in this position of authority. Left me totally shaken and upset how ridiculous this was. Do not recommend.

A good prof andl he's passionate about what he teaches, and he makes an effort to make lectures fun and engaging. My critique is that the feedback he gives on assignments isn't specific and wasn't helpful for me personally. His lectures are based almost entirely of minute examples, which I think causes him to get lost in the weeds sometimes.

I was impressed at how well he handled online teaching. By far the most engaging and innovative teaching I experienced all year.
