Contemporary British Politics |
| Course Department: | POLI-321 |
| Instructor: | Audrey Wells |
| Instruction Language: | English |
| Comments: | Loved Audrey! She truly knew what she was talking about and I was happy that she had scheduled class to coincide with prime ministers questions every wednesday morning because our class found that tradition very entertaining and insightful into British politics on a whole. In terms of criticisms I wished that she was better at giving us background into English, British and European history which are also vital to understand politics. |

| Instructor: | Bill Sheasgreen |
| Instruction Language: | English |
| Comments: | Wish that there was more structure to this course. I know Bill has a lot on his plate trying to coordinate the school and this course at the same time but it would have been nice to know what sporting events we were going to try and see at the start of the semester in order for us to plan our schedules accordingly. Loved the sporting events but also wonder how my final grade was determined! No A's given out in that class?! |
