Pleasure having him in his last year of teaching, methods were a little archaic, but he did have a passion for his craft

Comment:
This prof was truly the worst prof i have had in five years. He is too caught up in an elementary school style of teaching rather than university. His tests are based on memorization of useless facts rather than what we learned. And his assignments are rediculous!! Go back to your other job planning out trails or something boring like that.

Horrible instructor. His test are poorly designed and not applicable to the course. He talks about pointless stuff and doesn't care at all about helping his students. This guy should stick to his day job and not screw around with a good department.

Comment:
His lectures were great, he marked really well on assignments but his tests were bull crap! he'd ask really specific questions that no way in hell would anyone remember. The questions on the tests didn't reflect at all what someone learned, only their ability to remember trival information that wont' help anyone in the real world!

Comment:
Worst Prof. Absolutely no point to vast majority of lectures (unless u care about his wife and in-laws) Asks for completely POINTLESS facts on tests just to bell curve.Ex. Gives you 90s for the first few assignments then realizes he's marking too high so he puts stupid facts on tests to lower marks.Should stick to playing around in a prov. park.

Amazing prof! He loves his students and is sooooo devoted to them. He's one of the best profs Trent has ever seen. Classes were always interesting, there was something to look forward to everyday. Never a dull moment with him. Loved it!
