Took the class just because he's one of my favourite profs. He's really enthusiastic and can be a lot of fun.

Comment:

a friendly, funny, and energetic guy. must've been an actor in his previous life. exams are hard to predict. questions are easy, but you never know if what you've written will give you full marks. this works both ways too -- there are both good and bad surprises. it's all by chance -- by chance, things worked out well for me. will it for you?

Comment:

Great prof but the lectures were very boring. His tests were a little harder because of specifics and very unexpected questions. Basically, you must study everything, not just main concepts.

Boring In lecture... drones on and on about a single topic for the entire class. Tests are ridiculous, be prepared for random-fact questions that really dont pertain to the course material.

Incredibly effective teacher, EVERYTHING is crystal clear partly thanks to his accent. MASSIVELY FUNNY: You will clutch your stomach for hours. Do the work and get an A. If you're looking for sheer entertainment and a good education, take this guy.

Comment:

Beland RULES!! He's soo approachable. And funny and quirky too. Nothing's drier than theory but he manages to make it interesting. His class is one of the few where I actually retained knowledge after the final exam. AND he's a pretty easy marker!

I nominated him for a teaching award last winter semester and he didn't end up getting it. Can someone please nominate him this year since I am not in any of his classes and so can't?

amazing prof, people don't understand how dry the course material is. His accent gets in the way sometimes but he uses it as leverage for his many jokes. Take him you won't regret it
