Comment:

Best prof you can ever have. He focuses heavy on conceptual questions and thus if you memorize the steps or questions, good luck. He's decent in marking. All you need to do is understand the lecture being taught, interrupt him if needed, and do the assignment questions HONESTLY by yourself. Lastly, DONT skip his lecture. Each lecture is worth a LOT

Awesome professor, knows the subject like the back of his hand. Really goes above and beyond to teach the course material and is always available for extra help. Bear in mind however, exams are HARD and you WILL struggle to finish within the allotted time!

Honest he's prolly the best prof I have had to date. He puts in so much effort to teach you the course and in the end it was worth it. Makes class fun, and doesn't make you rethink engineering during the lectures. Would highly recommend. But you also gotta put in work its not those show up and pass courses.

Don is the prof to decide if you will graduate. If he doesn't think you can make sound decisions in the real world, you wont pass. period.

Dr. Oguamanam is one of the best profs I've ever had. He genuinely cares about all his students (If you show up regularly). He makes an effort to get to know his students by name. Teaches concepts thoroughly, and encourages class participation. Do not hesitate to ask him questions, he will try his best to answer them. Great Prof!

Amazing prof if you manage to follow along with what he says. Provides LOTS of examples in class and will always help u if you have any questions. Not the toughest grader but the test he designs are almost always brutal. Definitely one of the best profs in ryerson

One word to say for Professor Don... AMAZING! He truly is the best professor that I have ever had. He really cares about his students. If you need help go to his office hours or talk to him after class cause he will do his best to help you understand the subject. His exams are tuff but if you understand the concepts you should have no troubles.

Going to every class is required cause no slides are used. This is math/physics course involves forces so go to class to see how to do problems. Remembers names and faces, & you'll be picked to answer questions. Gives 5 big assignments for course, complete on your own, if want A on exams. Most exam Qs from example in class, homework or textboook.

Best prof in the MEC department. Clearly explains everything, actually makes your notes worth something. Uses tough love. Is very fair in marking. The questions in the exams were highly doable (as opposed to some other courses where the question in the exam look like alien language). 10/10 would recommend Don. #DON4LYFE

Comment:

I had him for Machine Design I. You must go to the class and take his notes. He is one of those people that are too smart to understand how difficult the subject is so he makes really hard tests. I recommend that you go to his class and attend his office hours, he's approachable...if you aren't a good note taker you are pretty well screwed.
