Chris Erl

A very engaging and passionate professor that truly conveys the fundamentals of political mechanisms within the urban planning field. His course is ingeniously structured. The course's tutorials and final report are amazing opportunities to think within the contexts of planning.

chris is amazing as a prof just the course itself is pretty difficult just by inherently having so much course content to cover; leading to basically a mandatory attendance for lectures to not miss any explanations/clarifications. final report is pretty easy admittedly and the tutorials acted as more of a discussion space between peers

Really awesome dude and a great lecturer. I learned a lot and the content of the course is quite interesting. The tutorials were kind of whatever but its was easy to get the participation marks and the TA's were helpful. He's a pretty lenient marker and the midterm and final exam were pretty easy with minimal studying.

Prof Erl is truly a great prof, which is why I loved this course despite it being somewhat difficult. He clearly is knowledgeable, personable, understanding and just makes the lectures more interesting than simply the content itself. The course is a bit tough, only 3 things graded (excl. tut participitation), but the exams and final report are fun.
