Comment:

Perry, is idolized by most students, for his flawless teaching technique and intriguing lectures, Unfortunately he has let the whole Class of 2015 down with your absolutely pathetic performance within Civil 430. Classes were completely neglected as he chose to attend to his dept. responsibilities instead of classes this year. Very Disappointed!

A god-like pillar of civil engineering. He's tough but fair and I couldn't have more respect for Dr. Adebar.

Great professor! Will make fun of you...if you ask questions that are answered in the text. One year later and he's still one of my favourites

Overall, a good professor. At times was hard to follow solutions or examples because of little work shown, but Dr. Adebar has a unique structure to the course that I have not seen with many other engineering professors- and it works.

My favorite prof so far at UBC. He's tough but fair. He actually pushes you to really learn the material. Most importantly, he's classes are always interesting and he presents the material very well.

Very good prof, one of the best I've had in my undergraduate experience so far. His weekly quizzes and assignments are a lot of work but they are extremely fair. You will be well prepared for the final.

Comment:

By far the best professor I've had in my post-secondary experience (more than one institution). Extremely helpful in class and office. Quizzes and exams are fair and rewarding of your time spent in class. Lectures are both clear and informative as well as entertaining. Definitely would take another course from this instructor.

Comment:

Look kinda like Henry VIII, if you imagine him in knightly armor. Very knowledgeable, very nice. Tends to be a bit rough with undergrads though. Enjoys tricky questions to make feel like an idiot. His assignments are long and hard but finals are fair. Overall, one of the best profs i've ever had.

Comment:

Very knowledgeable, however leaves a large amount of topics until the very end, and dwelled on simple things at the beginning. Seems to enjoy putting down students before answering their questions. A good course though.

He's always in a bad mood for some reason. Will hurt your feelings when you talk to him during office hours. He'll make you look like an idiot before answering questions.

Comment:

Shear force knows his stuff. Lectures are, in all fairness, reasonably well put together and follow a logical pattern. But at 8am, concrete design just doesn't quite cut it. Final exam is savage. Overall the course is just fricking unpleasant.
