Prof: Firoza Niknia / Winter 2026

Feb 13, 2026

Comments on the course

This was one of the worst courses i have taken at york… the content is just not meant for people in courses related to biology and life sciences.. there should be an easier option as a requirement cause not everyone wants to learn programming stuff

Course Content

Too many assignments…. Midterms are mcq based and the class was not so well organised…. The excel part was understandable even the introduction of R was good enough… but everything after that went above my head.. i could not stay awake in the class due to the boredom

Comments on the professor

She has a very low voice… doesn’t even know how to connect a projector… just reads off slides… does not know how to engage with people… just says her things and goes out… she has just started teaching and i can tell its not meant for her

Advice

If u are taking it for the degree requirements like me.. then don’t make the same mistake… take it with someone else

Prof: Professor C. Schatzman / Spring 2026

Feb 12, 2026

Comments on the course

This course is terrible. Professor C. Schatzman is non responsive and provides little engagement. The material is poorly planned lectures and a butch of youtube videos that one could watch without paying for an expensive class. It is test heavy, but the questions clearly just check if you watched the irrelevant films that have been assigned. This class does not require deep thought, does not teach anything about global conflict or political theory.

Course Content

Posted videos and 1) Crises of democracy (click here) Adam Przeworski 2) Nomad Century (Fantastic book) Gaia Vince 3)Nuclear War: A Scenario Annie Jacobsen

Comments on the professor

Doesn't engage much

Advice

Easy A but waste of time and resources if you want to gain an understanding of global conflict, political theory or advance your understanding of political science in a meaningful way.

Prof: Gbenga Adejare / Fall 2025

Comments on the course

Decent course, easy gpa booster, don't take it with gbenga.

Course Content

Foundations of Sociology. Good if you are a sociology major, otherwise, mostly just a gpa booster class. All info is slides-based, you are marked solely on the exams only.

Comments on the professor

The professor was horrible, skipped through 10 slides within 10 seconds, and posted lecture slides a week after we went through them. Didn't reply to emails AT ALL.

Advice

Don't even need to come to the class tbh
