Craig Fairclogh

The most awful professor i have had in my academic career!! He does not teach the class, he discusses the topics but mostly breaks you in groups to talk to each other and then discuss for 15 mins during class. He spends maybe 15 mins of the class being present. Extremely lazy and rigid with his marking. get ready to write exams that make no sense!

His lectures are a waste of time you're held hostage for marks. You have to write your name on paper and slap it on your desk like a kindergartener. Craig doesn't teach; he reads slides. Exams aren't hard they're stuffed with random questions on irrelevant details. His slides are confusing sloppy notes from OHS421 lecture materials. Picky w assignm

The course lacked clear assignment expectations; no rubrics were provided, making grading feel arbitrary. Lectures emphasized real-world examples, but exams tested only recall and tricky wording of questions. With no real labs and a professor mumbling from his slides, you learn nothing valuable compared to Occupational Hygiene 1.

Word salad. You're basically reading the encyclopedia and then you do a computer generated test at the end of each week. The final exam is all gotcha questions and obscurities. Seems like chatgpt is teaching this course. Prof put 0 effort.

His exams have nothing to do with what you learn in class he likes to make exams extremely difficult for absolutely no reason he likes to throw people off by purposely confusing them & he will call you out to answer questions in lectures. 2/10 would not recommend.

I genuinely enjoyed Professor Fairlough's class and found the content applicable to my work in HR. Attendance and participation are important- as long as you show up, you can get 15%. While the course relies heavily on the textbook, Professor Fairlough's teaching style makes it engaging and easy to understand! Would definitely recommend!!

Craig was an awesome professor, but the course content was very heavy. Overall, Craig did a great job summarizing the main points and making the topics easier to understand . You definitely need to put the effort in, do the work, and show up to class; the course is also directly related to the textbook.

I enjoyed the structure of this course as there was participation, group assignments, and exams. The lectures were focused on reinforcing the weekly readings and emphasized collaboration which helped with the exams. But you do need to come prepared for class. Overall, great experience!

3 assignments. Last is the group project. Write a report. 10 page limit all inclusive. Need in that 10 pages: Title page, appendix (3 page min), refs, and a table of contents. He *never* told us we needed a table of contents. Refused to budge on being unclear. Overall, extremely unclear with assignments. Tests: Not application but basic recall.

Took his class before the lockdown. Lecture material does get heavy so be prepared to know the information back to front, so the textbook helps a lot. But Craig is a good prof. Very knowledgeable and nice as well. Get a good group too. And also show up for class because he records attendance.
