Reviews of professor Simon Cordery

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
The History 195 class was a weird class since we only met once a week. He was always cheery and cracked quite a few jokes. If you show that youre serious about the class and maybe crack a few jokes, he wont be as intimidating anymore. Every time I see him he always stop and chat with me. Hes very passionate about his job and students.

Dr. Cordery was a great professor for History 202. His lectures are intresting, not to fast or long, and he answers questions very well. He uses quick power points with pictures that are easy to remember but contain a lot of information. Solid professor all around and a fun dude to talk too. Never felt lost in his class.

Dr. Cordery is a very good lecturer. Class is extremely interesting and he makes it clear that he expects students to ask questions. Class is very note heavy and he has a couple odd policies about electronics, but not much to worry about. Tests can be difficult to finish in the 50 min time frame. Try to take this class or others from Dr Cordery.

Professor Cordery is such an interesting teacher. Lectures are basically all notes, but he doesn't make it boring. Unless there's a test you don't really need to show up to the lectures, only the recitations. Yet, I have yet to miss one.

He taught HIST 195 and it was so much busy work. The guidelines for the final presentation were so vague and he kept adding more and more things during dead week for us to add to the presentation. When he taught HIST 202 it was fine. I expected the level of work we received but not in 195. If you have the option, don't take him for 195

Very funny and entertaining professor and made the class fun. Mostly lectures with a few papers and quizzes.
