Absolutely useless. He's really nice when you go to his office hours but that's it. Good person, useless prof. Do not take this course with him. You'll regret it.

Comment:

I did not attend ANY of the lectures and tutorials. Ended up with a B+. I did however put effort into studying and understanding the material. I did not think I earned a legit B+ in my midterm and final exam. He probably boosted me to a B+ because he saw that I atleast tried and studied the subject. Good guy professor.

Nice guy. But is very unclear in class. I basically learned everything by myself with the help of course pack, textbook and a friend from EE. The material is fairly easy.

Comment:

Unclear in class. If the material were taught concisely, it could be finished in half a semester. Not enough examples are done in class, and there are no solutions available to practice problems or past finals. Final exam was much more difficult than homework problems, but was curved or something... Nobody failed in the end...

Comment:

the worst teacher, although a nice person. Cannot convey a thought, relies on a manual full of mistakes, makes errors on the board.... Very poor teacher. Makes it up a bit in personal consultations.... One of the worst professors I have had at McGill.

Comment:

I was a student of Professor Zorbas back in the early 90's. Although I was too young to know it then, he was probably the most helpfull Professor in regards to preparing me for my career accomplishments. I am eternally grateful.

Comment:

Worst prof ever. He's a nice guy, but his class consists of loosely grouped factoids from his life at Hydro-Quebec. Hard to understand unless you pull the answers from him. Avoid at all costs, but then again he's the only one teaching AEI so you're doomed no matter what, or take it at Concordia.

Comment:

He has the distinction of being the most useless prof in Mech Eng. But the course can be very easy: pick up a book on basic EE and learn by yourself. I got an 'A' this way while sleeping through class and never going to tutorials.
