Professor Ignatieff, Coming To A Class Near You
May 6th, 2011 by crystal
He seems nice.
If you haven’t already heard, Michael Ignatieff is coming to U of T. Starting July 1, he will be a senior resident at Massey College for a one year term. Those of you in Law, Political Science, the Munk School of Global Affairs or the School of Public Policy and Governance may have a chance to take one of his classes.
Although I’m not in any of those faculties, I am excited. He is a scholar-turned-politician-turned-scholar. He’s got tons of experience in and out of the classroom, which means that classes are probably going to be very, very interesting. Think about it: we’re having a world-class professor come teach us – he’s taught at Harvard and Cambridge! No one can say no to stellar faculty. I hope that he not only lectures, but also facilitates discussion and encourages debate between his students.
That being said, I imagine him as being a hard marker. I definitely would not want him to mark my paper.
What do you think? Are you Law/Poli Sci/Global Affairs/Public Policy students excited?
