Comment:

Use a recorder if you're trying to get an A. I found it extremely difficult to understand what he was saying during lecture. It wasn't due to his accent, but mainly because he would skip the majority of his slides and ramble a lot. I do not think he is professional during lectures (comments about gays and HIV) or during office hours (very rude).

Funny and enjoys what he does but EXTREMELY disorganized lectures, essentially impossible to follow. Skips many many slides that end up being on exam, can't understand him. The stuff is fascinating but his teaching is sub par at best

I have graduated from UofT over a year ago, but still remember how amazing this professor is! Very inspirational and truly cares for his students! I still remember many of the things he taught me about virology!

A very funny guy. Extremely warm and friendly, always ready to do whatever he must to help students succeed. He will write you a reference letter (guaranteed) if you do well in his course. If you study, you will do well. He is also very generous and adjusts marks at the end of midterms and final exam.

TAKE THIS CLASS, you don't have to go to lecture as long as you have the recordings but honestly would recommend an immunology and biology background!

Comment:

people confuse his great personality with his ability to teach. "Flies" through 40 slides in less than 2 minutes with minimum description. great person to have around to present as a guest lecturer, not so much if you who is actually able to teach you something

The professor was one of the best at U of T St. George. A dedicated virologist with extensive knowledge. He also encouraged students to work hard for the future. He is those type of prof who really wants you to succeed in your life!

Excellent professor. I took his course in 1997. If you study, you will get a great mark. I suggest making a summary table of all the viruses, as that will be much easier to study from, than from the lecture notes

Great teacher, enjoyed lecture, made going to a course that I originally had only a mild interest in into one that I constantly looked forward to, sometimes hard to understand, realistic about student and student life in university, very knowledgeable, would recommend
