I liked his teaching, he made it so that you understood it. He is wiling to help you if you go and see him during his office hours.

Comment:

His assignment criteria is unclear. He does not allow you to ask questions (ignores your hands up) and talks over students when you do try to make a suggestion. He is not encouraging at all. He does not respond to emails and his assignment feedback is not helpful and/or confusing. He marks some students harder than others, biased marker.

Comment:

He goes on an on in a monotone voice, all the while not answering questions, and uses a condescending tone with all students. Read the book, that's pretty much the answer he has for every question. Buy the book, you will need it to pass and to teach yourself!

His lectures are often irrelevant to what we are learning and he doesn't follow his own outline. Tests are all written. Only learn from textbook.

Pretty easy to follow if you read the book. If not then you wont have a clue what he's talking about. Nice enough teacher. Teaching style is a bit different though.

Comment:

He's not uselesss or a tool, but the class can get pretty boring, even though the work is super easy. And he's nice... easy going... and I guessed on my final mark, tho I'm sure it's in the A area, if not higher. Oh yea, you can't depend on him to reply to your emails!

Comment:

Easy A. He is boring, and nuts. A total hippy, but if you read the book, and go to most classes, talk to him outside of class, and participate in discussions, you will get an A. Pretend you are stoned when writing and have the "stick it to the man" attitude and he will love you. everything is a conspiracy in that class.

Comment:

since the beginning of the semester, roughly 7 hours of lecture have been missed. 2 of those hours were during a day class. the remaining 5 hours were missed in the night class. two hours of lecture were missed on the first day and then most recently, an entire three hour night class was missed. proper lectures aren't given during class time.
