i would never ever tell anyone to take this class with him ever, not even my worst enemy. he has to be the most unhelpful prof ever who cannot hold the class's attention without them falling asleep 4 minutes into his lecture. and one word of advice caldwell: SPIT YOUR DAMN WORDS OUT FASTER

Comment:

NEVER,I repeat NEVER take a class with this professor.You may think "oh,it won't be that bad."Believe me...it is that bad and worse.Terribly boring,incoherent,no interest in the students..among other things.Unfortunately,this man has tenure,so will most likely live out his days at York..but if registration for his courses drops,there may be hope.

Comment:

Took astronomy in 1st yr. He was always late for class, wasnt very clear, and taught horribly. By mid-nov, he still hadnt gotten thru the syllabus,had to rush thru the remaining 10 chs. Needless to say, the majority of the 500 sts failed the exam and if u petitioned the course u got your money back. Surprised he's still allowed to teach.

Comment:

What a boring lecturer. He says "Ahhhh" about 5 million times in one lecture hour. He lectured the course after Prof. Delaney and he ruined it for everyone. And to top it all off, the final exam was impossible (probably because he didn't teach anything). Beware of this guy.

Comment:

Extremely boring speaker, and has a mean and condescending outlook on students. And he gives an 8-choice multiple choice final exam! Must've ordered custom-made scantron sheets.
