Comment:
Absolutely horrible professor, puts minimum effort in to everything. Doesn't even bother making his own slides or explaining them. His just reads slides aloud in class. Course is organized horrendously, and there is next to no guidance in labs! Terrible, I'm not surprised considering he's responsible for Tron program at Mac.

Comment:
Supervising prof for Capstone. Quite frankly, can be unreasonable, and very difficult to understand what is expected in the deliverables. Seems to be inconsistent marking, feedback not usually clear. Expects class participation even for a project course, as marks are given out randomly. I've had better professors.

Comment:
Horrible experience. He keeps making the class harder and harder, but can't even change the lecture slides to accommodate the development board we use in class. Also, for a person who designed Tron, he sure is bad at knowing what students know from previous classes. Avoid at all costs (avoid Tron as well).

Comment:
Example of cool prof. Attending his class helps a lot. Nice marking scheme. Attending all classes fetch you easy 10%. He is very young, cracks student type jokes, practical (doesn't expect his students to be einsteins) and very easy to talk to. Great Prof.

Forget what u read above/below. This guy is the coolest prof coz he's like one of student and knows how to reach students, unlike most profs who only care about their own researches. Our dept promised him to give his tenure in 5 years, and 6 years later
