- Dr. Daniel McLean
If anyone has a chance to take this course, please do. First, the subject matter (Greek and Roman Mythology) is incredibly interesting and there's a great reading list. Second, your mark is based on: (a) showing up to tutorial and talking (b) a really easy midterm (one of the multiple choice options was "popcorn") (c) a short essay (d) a final exam. Finally, Dr. McLean is great, largely in part to his dry sense of humour and sarcastic wit:
- One his of essay tips was something like, "do not dare do this unless you should wish to completely insult the English language as a whole and everyone who has contributed to it."
- When discussing the story in which Cronus castrates Heaven, he put "large phallic object (picture of that giant stack at McMaster) + sharp point thing (picture of a machete) = :(".
- He'd always find a way to bring up popular culture, especially Family Guy.
Also, he'd often bring his dog to class, a little Jack Russell terrier. Pretty lolz.
