Cool guy, seems to be very knowledgeable. But geo 1000 is not a bird course like ppl say it is. Course format is horrible, went the whole semester not knowing my grade as they only give out letter grades (an A could be a 80 or a 89, no way of knowing where u really are in the course) dont take this class if u care about ur grades, bad elective.

Comment:
boring prof with mediocre slides that basically mean nothing. Stupidest course ive taken at york, no clear grading criteria. You would think that 3 profs could come together to make a better course, but nope. So hard to access them outside of class lol. Horrible class, if you like high grades and being happy do not take GEO 1000.

Comment:
He is a decent lecturer and I would say the best of the three profs that teach geo 1000, however my experience with that course was dreadful. Extremely hard to get an A+, but an A should be very achievable. One of the worst courses ive taken, prof is fine tho. Avoid this course if you are looking for a chill elective, its so boring.

Horrible prof. Material is very boring and he makes it even more boring. Does not speak clearly. His slides have no relevant information. Had to teach myself all the material from his section.

He is not the worst professor I've had, but the worst of the 3 in this course. He does not captivate students at all, very monotone, and his lectures+notes were VERY disorganized. Honestly, the lectures were only 1hr but felt like 2. Wouldn't take again unless I had to. However, he is nice and will help if you ask! He's focused on the upper years

One of the best profs ever! He has the academic knowledge and the real world experience to compliment it. Definitely awesome to listen to.
