Comment:

Generally, the class was pretty easy once I got the hang of it. Average prof but willing to help and explain concepts. Helpful examples. However, he doesn't speak that loudly and it can be hard to hear him from the middle/back of the class. Pay attention and everything else comes naturally.

Comment:

Took him at Capilano College - he's got to be the most boring person I've ever, ever, ever, met in my whole entire life - he mumbles, says words you cannot understand - he's so dull, and laughs at the odd joke he'll make - BRING A PILLOW FOR SURE - THIS GUY COULD DO A COMMERCIAL TO HELP INSOMNIACS!!!!!

Comment:

Incredibly dull, and more or less useless. His explanations do nothing to enlighten any murky aspects of his notes, and the textbook seemed to be actively trying to make simple notions as complex as possible. Study for the exams, not the class. Hours spent poring over the chapters are wasted.

Well you thought you were doing well!?! I mean the solid A average before the final, but then the final hits you. This guy is insanely tedious... and uses his wife's menstrual cycle as an example for one of the topics. Ewww. I really didn't like h

Very smart, interesting guy. Class was a little hard to follow at times and could have been a bit more interersting since the subject matter is really interesting. But overall, a fair marker and a good prof.

Best guy to take the class with. Not only is he really nice and a good prof, he is kinda cute too with that kiwi accent! Lectures are clear and he always makes sure that everyone in the class understand before he moves on. Highly recommended! A+ for Flem

Fleming's class is interesting and amusing, his tests are easy, and you will really learn a lot. I haven't heard of anyone that attended the lectures failing this class .

An interesting class. Don't be fooled by his easy midterms. Study for the final. Class itself is ok, but the incentive to attend is diminished because he puts his notes and lectures online. Read the textbook.

He's a cool teacher. Sit near the front, because sometimes you can't hear him. Cute accent, and he can be funny.

I got an A in this course and I'm no genius. Just worked my pants off. He is definitely one of the best profs.

You have to work very hard, but it is a great class, one of my favourites last year. He is a good teacher, he makes you think, and he does have the sort of accent that should be required of philosophy profs.
