Comment:

This class is a joke, the concepts are great, but in no way is this class taught well. There are spelling mistakes on outlines, he uses an older version of the textbook so the final exam outline is inconsistent with our textbooks. I can say that everything I learned from this class I had to teach myself, and I reiterate everything.

Comment:

Don't recommend. 1 group presentation, 1 individual presentation, 2 multiple choice testes, 1 midterm and final. He makes students do presentations on the textbook chapters so he doesn't have to teach it to the class, classes are mostly taken up by presentations. Usually goes off topic, class is overall not hard just boring

Comment:

His lectures are OK. I understood his accent probably because I was an ESL teacher. His tests are from the lecture. As for the group project - he gave little to no guidance. He got angry at everyone from the class and said he was giving everyone a C- even though none of us deserved it. WHAT A HARD PROJECT!

Comment:

He's extremely difficult when it comes to marking especially on case study questions. He never gave the proper direction or clarification especially when it comes to the Group project. He may as well not help because it even furthers the confusion. His accent is also hard to understand that he has to repeats his words countless times.

Comment:

Despite being hard to please and strongly accented, he does not seem to be too bad. In my view, he answers questions that needs to be answered assuming they are clear and cracks jokes even though nobody gets them.

Comment:

This teacher is a failure in teaching management. He doesn't even apply the stuff he teaches in his way of teaching. He doesn't understand whatever we ask, and I'm always lost in the middle wondering what he's teaching. Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs is not even considered during his teaching. He thinks only students are wrong and he is always right.

Comment:

I won't recommend this prof to anyone. He has zero passion in teaching classes. Very old materials used, ppt hasn't been updated for years. never review quiz or mid terms (if you don't review, how can we learn from mistakes? Just look at the rate of attendance at every single class, it is embarrassing.

Comment:

Strong accent. Expects a lot on group report and not very helpful when you ask for help, he even tries to confuse you just so you wouldn't get too much information from him. Be super familiar with all the details in the textbook if you want to ace his exams.

Comment:

Most people would consider fluent English to be a requirement for a professor. He might be very knowledgeable, however he lacks the ability to communicate that knowledge to his students. Thus, full review of the textbook becomes inevitable to pass his exams. Midterm class avg: 50%. Highest mark on group projects: 67%. Avoid Dr. Chan at all costs.

Comment:

I was afraid of this class because I took one with him before and was dreading it. He's suprisingly got much better. To me it seems like he may be tougher with first year courses to whip people into shape. He was actually decent and fair this time around.

Comment:

ABSOLUTELY THE WORST TEACHER I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED IN MY LIFE. Not only one of my classes where ruined by this joke, but two of them. Teaches directly from text book due to the fact that he knows absolutely nothing about what he teaches. Hearing his lectures are more like off topic rants that leave the student more confused than before he started

Horrible, I'm never taking a TBA class again! 3 out of 4 groups failed the project, maybe it was from lack of understanding or not doing it right. But how were we supposed to know? He didn't communicate anything, and walked away when we asked questions. Took this class last spring: D taking it now with David Williams: A Go with David, he's awesome.

He doesn't speak English clearly so you really need to pay attention to understand what he's saying. Luckily he just repeats the text and his powerpoint slides. He has really high expectations for a first year course. With enough work it seems easy enough to get a reasonable grade.

Comment:

You would think being able to speak english would be a requirement at any respectable Western Canadian Uni. Such was not the case for Hian-Chan, he can hardly string basic words together, and fails to understand the concept of teaching a 1st year class. His attempt to make an easy class as hard as possible is impressive, and he often succeeds
