Dull prof. Tends to go off on tangents and sometimes seems like he has no clue what he's talking about. Also doesn't explains examples clearly, jumps all over the place.

Dry. Boring. 10/10 would not take again. The best lectures were by Dr. Paul Bruno. So. Don't do it.

Comment:
One of my favorite profs. He may not come off overly charismatic personable which is why there's negative reviews but he really does care about the students. I would pop by his office unannounced every week throughout the semester and he would ALWAYS spend at least half an hour helping me. Give him a chance and he's a really good dude.

His lab was super easy and had easy marks but the class itself was long and unhelpful. I learned more by reading his slides on URCourses after the fact. The final was terrible as questions are worded terribly and just ridiculous. Would not recommend.

Comment:
Horrible Prof. His class is so boring and his tests were unreasonably hard. Almost half of the class failed the midterm and he blamed it all on us. He is also not understanding or easy to talk to when you have concerns. I would tell you to avoid but unfortunately if your in Kinesiology you will end up with this prof at some point.

Easy marks, I got a 93 and I barely went to class or studied. His lectures are okay, nothing too intriguing but not terrible.

John seems like a nice down to earth guy, but when it comes to classroom it gets boring and is hard to pay attention. His nickname is JBJ (Jon Bon Jovi) cause he thinks he is a rockstar. He is always late for lectures and loves showing videos in his class. Overall if you want a new twist on university, sign up for JBJ's class

He is a very nice guy but has no idea how to make a class interesting. I thought motor learning would be slightly interesting but he killed it for me.

not a bad prof, goes off topic alot, his classes are super boring you never want to go, he puts his slides up on webCT and basically reads them and expands and rambles on about nothing of what the slide was about, lab assignmnets aren't too hard

If you're looking for a prof that gets off topic about absolutely nothing, he is your man. He rambles on and on about whatever pops into his head and then some. He's a very smart man. He just isn't able to portray his knowledge in an interesting way.

Comment:
I wish I hadn't taken the class. Very boring 'cause it took him a trip downtown and back for him to finally get to the point. Bad way of exams (MC, TF, MTCH). Labs were a waste of time. It's like we had to guess what he was thinking before getting credit for marks. Avoid this class if you can.

Comment:
probably the most boring prof ever. i had him for khs 165 too and could hardly force myself to go to class, yet still pulled off an 84. his multiple choice on tests are common sense, he pretty much doesn't use the text book.. he just talks and talks but sounds like he has no idea what he's trying to say.

Great guy! His class may be a little boring at times, but make friends in the class and you'll enjoy it! The final and midterm are tricky, so you have to study! If you actually talk to him he'll help you SO much. Take this class! You really learn alot!

He's pretty good compared to how non-interesting most of the content is, assignments weren't hard but tests could have been a little easier. Overall not too difficult.

Excellent prof. Makes things crystal clear in his lectures. Good notes you can print off- very short and simple. Nice guy. Willing to help. Midterm and final are only hard if you don't study. Great guy. Take as many khs classes from him as you can.
