  • Just a little not-so-constructive criticism for some of our favourite profs...
    Huge thanks to TVM for shooting and editing this video. And of course, thanks to professors Maggie Kilgour, Rus Goyenko, Daniel Douek, Aaron Erlich, and Melissa Vollrath for being great sports.

    Has there ever been an english prof that doesn't have a 'weird' obsession with a writer who has been dead for 500 years?! Like... how do you think she got into lit? It's her job to be obsessed with dead writers.

    The thing is most of these reviews are just listing criticisms of their character and not actually any objective facts of genuine things the teachers did that created a barrier to your learning e.g. not available during office hours, doesn’t reply to emails or took unreasonable amount of time to reply, or actual displays of toxic or offensive or abusive behaviour, or refusal to explain course content in alternative ways, or refusing learning accommodations, or really chronically late to class or going over class time. You can’t criticize someone for being weird. - McGill alumni
