Reviews of professor Eyene Okpanachi

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
The course content was intellectually stimulating and I liked the wide range of topics that we touched on. These topics were presented from a comparative perspective in order to provide the unique challenges that oil/gas -producing countries all face, the international context of these challenges, & the role of domestic forces in shaping outcome

I really wanted to like this class. The topic sounded interesting, but the way in which this prof led the class was just awful. He seemed like a nice guy, but the slides were poorly put together, the midterm was a disaster, and the questions on the final barely made sense.

This is an excellent prof. He makes himself available after classes to answer any question, and treats students with respect. His responses to emails are prompt and his suggestions and comments were very helpful. I learnt so much in this class and I will take this prof's class again.

I don't think he has any idea how to run a political science class.. Exams had weirdly specific material which was never covered in class, and assigned hundreds of pages of readings. He also had very little respect for students. I would go out of my way to not take this prof's classes.

This was one of the most interesting and well developed class Ive had at UVic. The Professor's excellent grasp of both Canadian and international debates about oil politics was excellent and he thought the course without imposing his ideas on students. He is respectful and very considerate. I will definitely take his course again.

So let me be clear from the outset that I didn't get an outstanding grade for this course, but this was not the professor's fault. I missed classes and some of the discussions in class came out in the exam and quiz. The instructor was helpful and gave me extra time to submit my research paper when I fell ill. He was clear on expectations and caring
