Comment:
Glad he's gone. Had him a few years back. Completely arrogant and self-adoring. Some readings were interesting, but he was too much in love with the sound of his own voice. Good riddance, Boire.

Comment:
I have never met a man who can take a simple book and analyze it until it is the most confusing thing known to man. He had a good sense of humour and lectures were always quite trippy...a headtwist that had me wondering whether we had read the same stuff!

Lectures were usually a "head twist" but entertaining and educational. Hard work, but worth it!

SO much potential, but if he tried to 'pick my brain' or 'mess with me a little' one more time, I just would have had to call him on his superiority issues

A brilliant professor who knows what he is talking about. I learned a lot from the lectures and tutorials. His classes aren't easy, as they require your absolute attention at all times and there is a lot of quick note taking, but I liked the challenge.

Fair marker, seems genuinely interested in helping his students succeed. His lectures often involved rigorous note taking, but were balanced with a comfortable, fun atmosphere. He is a fine professor and a brilliant man. Enjoyed his music tastes.

Not helpful, phony, good grasp of what he is talking about but too bad he can't share it effectively. Horrible marker -- I knew his TA, and the marking was at best arbitrary. Possibility he invented arrogance.

Brilliant, energetic, and infectious! The binary opposite business became tiresome and strained at times but he really goes out of his way to accomodate all of the individuals in his courses. A great teacher and professor.
