Really love this prof. He makes the practice lectures really interesting. I really love how he makes his lesson plans because it flows really nicely. Really knowledgeable and accessible outside of class. Overall, the whole course was amazing thanks to him and the other profs and TAs. I had a fun time learning about programming.

Great prof. Engaging, motivating, helpful, and approaches teaching intelligently and actively. A credit to the human race this guy, no doubt. Do all the programming that's available to you, including past tests, and you'll do well.

One of the best professors I had at UofT. I still remember some of the things he taught me that really clarified object oriented programming for me. Of course like any course in com sci his definitely requires time and effort.

Good prof. Very helpful and answered questions in class or during office hours. Did not use book at all. The final project was pretty bad, though. Be prepared to see your grade fall 10% with final project+code review+final.
