Completely lost the class for the entire semester, so everyone had to teach themselves. Put topics on the final exam that he said, in writing, he would not put on the exam.

The absolute worst teacher I have ever had at McGill. Arbitrary grading schemes that change at his discretion, disorganized class, and countless mistakes in his solutions for problems that he does in class/tutorials. Avoid at all costs.

He deflated the grades( curved down) and he lied about the grading scemes in the outline. His excuse for not using the alternative grading schemes on the outline is "many students would get high grades"...

Comment:

He is the least qualified professor I have taken in my four years at McGill. Awful at lecturing and lies about grading schemes. Also, deflated grades to lower the average by 5 points. Do anything you can to avoid this garbage prof. I ended the class with a high mark, but because he refused to use the grading scheme on the syllabus got a B-.

Does not understand students questions, easy midterm with average marks, can not explain things exactly in class, will behave nice with you in person, he will not give grades after final, even worst than absolute grades, does not understand the meaning of relative grades, no matter what he's teaching do not take his class, avoid at all costs

Disorganized and useless don't take him for anything. I would not even allow this man to teach a kid how to ride a bike let alone teach Mech classes. Do not take him please I beg of you, take the course another semester. Stay away form Mr. Crappy.

Hands down the worst prof I've ever had the misfortune to run across. A genuinely nice guy but a horrible teacher. Avoid if at all possible.

It doesn't matter what class he might teach - he is completely inept. By a huge margin, this is the worst teacher I have ever seen. Avoid at all costs. You are making a big mistake if you take a class with him

Avoid at all costs. it's easier to learn the course by yourself than go to his classes. Useless and boring, only good for a nap.

Oh my god!!! The teacher can barely speak english, he does not use any references, so no way to understand what he is trying to teach. Everything so do seems to be wrong, even though it seemed right.

Comment:

Never knew what was important in class. Terribly organized lectures. Many times he didn't know how to answer questions. He looses control over the class every other day and then confronts students. Easy assignments and midterm but the final will certainly caught you. Sadly you won't learn anything.

Comment:

If I was able to stand going to the class every time then maybe the clarity level would be up one or so, but unless you have a background in autoCAD and proengineer you're pretty screwed for this course. For ProEng, neither him nor the TA were any help. Use online tutorials.

Comment:

Absolutely horrible! His first time teaching this course and from what the chair seems to be saying the last... No examples the second half of the course. Assigment questions have ZERO consistency, basically what works in one problem doesn't seem to work for another (same variables, diff method!)
