Comment:

amazing prof. expects you to do work, so dont take his classes if you are lazy. expects you to answer questions - so dont take his class if you are dumb. expects you to listen - so dont take his class if you talk in class. this guy will teach you stuff that will blow your god damn mind. oh, if you are offended easily, dont take his class.

Comment:

After all I heard about how good Gauthier was, I must say the class was a big disappointment. Flipped through slides at the speed of light and rarely explained new concepts in detail. Hated how he left all the examples until the end of the term!!Kaya was MUCH better in 2400. Maybe this wasn't his best year, but to me he didn't seem very good.

Comment:

Terrific prof, an enjoyable class, his teaching style is very unique and will be tremendously helpful if you do your part. Great sense of humour and out of class help if you need it. The course is very interesting and useful for future courses. Do not slack, do what he tells you to do and you will do very well! He knows what he's doing!

The best thermo prof ever! Possibly best enginering prof too! Go to class and listen to what he says. He makes understanding the material so easy! Do all the examples on your own and you will have a A+

A thermo prof who dresses like a snowman, looks a little like Peter Sellers and sounds a lot like Detective Clusoe. Very knowledgeable, very helpful. Entertaining, but effective. COP doesn't mean a pig :-)

Reintegrates into teaching a more personal approach. It goes without saying that it is well overdue in engineering. Great personality, lots of laughs - superb learning atmosphere. Enjoy.

Terrible handwriting and a thick accent, but somehow makes thermodynamics enjoyable. I would reccomend taking thermo with him, but sit near the front and listen carefully.
