Comment:

THis idiot was the head of the department when he told me I was good to graduate. He overlooked a course and said he was uncomfortable telling York I should graduate as he gave me the go ahead when I asked him if I needed anything else. I had to email him a couple of times to get a response I should add.

Comment:

Rambles on, sometimes doesn't seem to know what he's talking about, class was supposed to be on HCI and a large emphasis is on JavaScript, which is not taught, students are expected to be self-taught. Questions on exam are somewhat ambiguous.

Comment:

He LOVES the sound of his own voice. Will talk all lecture, mostly about issues that are not relevant to the course at all. Notes, slides, assignments, EVERYTHING is from the book. He makes it harder than it should be.

Comment:

I see most negative comments were for ITEC 1620/1630. Get over it. The failure rate for these is high regardless of whos teaching. I found his lectures to be interesting. Yes, he goes off topic a lot, but you still learn something. Hes helpful too.

Comment:

He lacks any ability to properly explain the course material. He frequently goes off topic during the lectures and as a result, makes the lectures both unlear and a drag to go to. Finally he is just a sarcastic and rude human being.

Comment:

AVOID FOSTER if your planning taking 1620 and 1630. If there no alternative than take Forster 1620. FOR 1630 I suggest you wait for next semester, even a year than taking 1630. His FINAL KILLS your grades. His assignment is DIFFICULT.

Comment:

he is a nice guy and willing to help. but he can barely make himself clear most of time in this clas. Hopefully he is just bad with Discrete Math not any other courses. btw, He is one of few prof that speak native english. :)
