Comment:

Worst teacher ever. Essentially reads the book to you. His personality makes the material dry and boring. If you choose to go to class sit towards the front of the the class so he doesn't call on you to act as his puppet. His tests questions are from the examples or problems from the book. Make sure to write them all down including constants.

Comment:

Boring!Boring!Boring! He doesnt help and doesnt really teach. He just sits there talking all day. All of the labs are really easy as long as you read the material. The problem is that this guy makes it difficult and he is picky so try to pay attention to detail

Comment:

He just reads off overheads in lectures and in the labs does nothing that is helpful!! Tests are difficult b/c they are TONS harder than the problems done in the lab. End of the semester you give overhead presentations (you basically copy from the textbook) and he either will sleep during your presentation or blab on the whole time repeating every

This teacher was a funny person. My favorite quote is "I am taking a water break", in which he smokes and drinks pepsi. This class isn't helpful but i got a B. HAHA suckers who take this man, BEWARE of the SMOKE!!!!

THIS TEACHER IS ALL ABOUT REPUTIATION. IF YOU SIT IN FRONT OF CLASS DO YOUR HOMEWORK AND DONT ARGUE WITH HIM HE WOULD MOST LIKELY GIVE YOU SOME EXTRA POINTS AND WONT GRADE YOU THAT HARD.

Comment:

He's a bad prof. yes, and the lectures are EXTREMELY boring, yes, but if u are stuck w/ him, do all the hw and come & do all the labs and you'll be fine. Most of the class brought laptops during the lecture and chatted and at labs we surfed the net the whole time. READ THE BOOK for lecture final.

Comment:

omg, this guy thinks his test problems as easy as the problems on the hw. even though the test is open notes, hw and book, the notes and hw does not help u on the test. he doesn't teach you in lab, assumes we will learn it from the book, we got a crappy book last sem, and he admit it too. funny tho.

Comment:

He talks very low. Really hard to follow what he is doing during the lab. He does not teach anything at all. Do what he tells us to do, then you will be fine. Unclear but easy teacher.

Comment:

Although he is easy, he is ridiculous. Lectures are useless, labs are boring. Leaves the class periodically to eat or smoke. Don't expect any homework back...the only thing I learned is that he likes coffee and croissants. I hope he retires soon.

Comment:

VEEEEEEERRRRY boring! He's easy though, and his lectures are pointless so there's no need to go. Just go to the lab and screw around on the internet until he gives the assignment (which is usually very easy). ENG 10 is pointless, so at least he's easy!

Siambs is very easy!!!! His lectures are boring, but they can be fun if you participate. Slow to get papers back, but he's a nice guy to talk too. Dont expect to leave lab early with this teacher, but it's an easy A

This teacher is about 80 years old. hes not clear at all and you wont know what the hell he is talking about. Stay as faaaaaaaaaaar away from him as possible. He forgets that you hand stuff in and then gives you a failing grade.

Comment:

his lectures are boring because he talks very slow and low. Many people stop coming after a while and just go to lab. He falls asleep often or goes outside to smoke. He is very slow at giving papers back and letting you know your grade.
