The most organized Professor at the university. He lectures with confidence and knows how to answer questions in a clear and precise manner. There is no surprises in his course. You go to class, listen to the lectures, take notes, do the assignments and you will exactly get the marks you deserve. You won't lose marks to useless tricks.

West is amazingly able to go through a tonne of material and ensure that the entire class "gets it!" His TAs are great, and it's no wonder he's received the "prof of the year" in the past - I hope he gets it again soon!!

The clearest and most helpful teacher in the faculty. Knows his concepts well, and is able to teach it, a rare quality. Friendly and approachable, he should be receiving an "outstanding teacher" award in the near future. Also just a 2nd year

As always a distinct pleasure to have Dr. J.S.West. Not a walk in the park, but go to the lectures and do some work and you will learn stuff and pass the course.
