Comment:

He is incredibly boring and hard to follow. Not only is he incredibly boring he is not helpfull. During his lecture he seems as though he would be approacable, but do not let this fool you. Basically do not ask questions.

Comment:

He does a pretty good job in lectures. He expects you to already know some of the material (what do you expect for 221 though). He tends to ask the class questions during lecture, and then criticize people when they answer wrong. He also makes fun of students if they ask questions during office hours. He does a good job, minus his attitude.

He is a very, very bad man. I am still emotionally recovering from his hellish nightmare of a class. Not only was he a horrible teacher, but also a complete jerk.

Comment:

Spends 45 min. on info you don't need to know and crams all the important stuff into 5. Yells at you for asking a question. Just basically sucks as a Professor in general. He's an idiot-- plain and simple... DON'T TAKE HIM!!!!

Comment:

Ballintine has to be the worst professor I have ever had. If you have a question, don't ask him because he'll just make a fool out of you in front of the class. Better yet, DON'T TAKE HIM.

Hmm... how do I put all my hatred in one sentence? Was not helpful and could be very rude if you get confused and ask for help. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS INSTRUCTOR!

Comment:

This teacher is absolutely horrible. His lectures are incoherant at best, and I sometimes wonder whether he knows which class he is supposed to be teaching. I would recommend to get a different teacher if this is the teacher you were unlucky enough to be assigned.
