Some professors love research but don't like teaching students. They are in the academia for their reason, may be not the same one as you assume

They do get kickbacks, and the texts are extremely expensive, especially for poor students who may be struggling to house and feed themselves.

These professors may be getting bad comments from Rate My Professors, but it is very nice of them to be willing to be filmed while reading these mean comments.

I really liked professor Jung, POL101 was easy to understand and I liked the one assignment a week structure as it was less stressful than heavily-weighted exams. I did however disagree with the marking as many of the assignments were essays with a word limit of 300-500 on complex subjects, then marks were taken off for “not going in depth enough”. There is only so much depth one can provide while abiding by essay format, word limit, and writing about such a complex issue. Overall good class, but the vague marking and expectations were definitely disappointing.

I actually really enjoy professor Hurl's courses i mean yeah, he's a bit all over the place and goes off on weird tangents but i get the strong impression that he cares more about his students success than his academic reputation the things he does makes it feel like he genuinely wants everyone to not just pass but succeed and even if his scatterbrain is pretty hard to follow sometimes its refreshing to feel like you have at least one professor who actually cares about their students in this hell-school

15,181 is not hack!

"Too" is an adverb, much alike "very", the student was saying she speaks very fast. It was used to describe her action of speaking, a verb. On the other hand "to" is a preposition, and wouldn't make much sense in the context of the student's review. So, it was used correctly by the student. Although seeing professors make simple mistakes is kind of funny, it is a bit scary that they feel this intense need to regain control of the situation by correcting the reviews. Like comments that correct your grammar when they are losing, "Yeah I'm wrong, but at least I can use the correct to, two or too," or in this case when corect you but can't. My condolences to all students that are right but their professor corrects them anyway, and bullies them into submission because of their near unlimited grading power mixed with the fragility of their ego. 😭

A sociologist by training (with a PhD dissertation in healthcare reform in Taiwan), he was appointed by U of T as a prof. of political science. In the aforesaid public talks/seminars he would say he isn't a political scientist even in front of fellow departmental political scientist colleagues.

Professor Wong was one of my favorite teachers. It's your personality which often determines that. I'm very analytical like he is so i found all of his lectures insightful, whereas someone who's very oriented towards feelings and "the now" will focus on those qualities rather than his rational analytical value.
