Comment:

George is a very sweet and kind individual and you just can't help but like him! However, he's not very effective at teaching. If you have better things to do, I wouldn't recommend attending class. Study the textbook very thoroughly to easily do well on the final. Don't leave the project until the end- it can pull your mark down.

Very kind and helpful professor, he makes the material very interesting and his quizzes are fair. Easy to do well as long as you do the readings.

Comment:

Broderick was a somewhat bland professor. Failed to capture my attention. Often late. He was very helpful on the project though during office hours. Didn't take attendance at all. Towards later part of the course, attendance fell exponentially.

Comment:

enthusiastic about the material, but honestly a useless prof, literally didn't learn a thing in any of his lectures, so unclear and disorganized, it's honestly brutal, guy doesn't even respond to his emails and constantly is late for class, fails to get your marks back to you, unclear expectations, etc ....recommend avoiding if you can!

Comment:

The course itself is boring, but the prof tries very hard to keep everyone engaged in the class, and he's very caring as well. But he is slightly disorganized regarding to the quizzes, but it's a new system for this course so I think that'll improve over time

Comment:

Despite the dry course content, I found George to be an extremely helpful and caring professor. Most people don't make use of his office hours, but if you do, you're sure to do much better than everybody else. Class isn't mandatory but there are participation marks. MT's and finals quite easy if you read the textbook. Recommended :)

Comment:

George is not a bad teacher. I found he was VERY willing to go over our project, and the marking at the end was fair. Class average was 74% with many people in the A range. The course itself is dull and the exam is standard, however, George was able to make it relevant and interesting through discussion and real-life examples.

Not bad but very disorganized. He does give good examples in class but often strays from topics. Does not pick on you to speak.

Comment:

George is the worst, most irresponsible (and a big liar) instructor I have ever seen at UBC. No one is worse than him!!! He gives easy marks in class, but will give you a much much lower grade at the end. Ignorant attitude towards student's concern.

Comment:

Quite possibly the least qualified/intelligent person on the face of the planet. Lazy. Disorganized. Never has a point. Chock full of annoying phrases. Just for kicks, count how many times he says "can I give you an example, folks?" in a s

he is a very very nice man, but his class is so boring. Although it is a coordinated course, so maybe it's not his fault, but he is way too repetitive, spends so much time on the smallest concepts. LEctures move VEEEEEERRRRRY slowly

Comment:

although he is very nice, he is disorganized, doesn't post up the lectures when he says he does and you must ask him specifically what he is going to mark on or you will get low marks on the presentation. Overall, okay teacher, doesn't pick on you to talk
