Comment:

(class: calc 1 and 2) made the mistake of sticking with him for calc 1. Made an even larger mistake by not dropping calc 2 when he was the only one teaching it. He cannot talk, he makes mistakes in his boardwork, he refuses to answer questions. In all, run for your marks.

Comment:

I had this guy way back in 1995... failed the class miserably after trying to learn the material purely off the course notes. Apparently his English hasn't got any better. Worst prof at UW I had in my 46 classes there!!

Couldn't understand him, the microphone he used only added distortion. Learned more from the text book, makes me glad I had a good high school teacher.

Really approachable, encouraging. He's like a big teddy bear. His notes are very clear, even if his pronunciation is a little unclear. GREAT PROF.

Comment:

He was helpful cuz he was always there during tutorials, and re-marked my brutally marked exam! However, his lectures were disturbingly terrible. Didn't understand a word, and it was no help for the rapage of a final

Comment:

This is the worst prof I've ever had. If you can actually deciper his accented ramblings as he speaks DIRECTLY AT THE BOARD you probably will not have any idea how he actually became a prof as he skips over the most important steps. DON'T TAKE HIS CLASS!
