Really solid lectures, he really knows all of his content super well. Doesn't just read off the slides and gives good relevant examples too. Marking is tough but forces you to learn and do the labs properly.

Disorganized and irresponsible. His final exam has so many errors and never once did he apologized for his mistakes but made students pay for his mistakes. Never prepare or organize anything in advanced

This guys got the iron fist -> Chief Instructor 2005. Does a good job going over main concepts, and is easy to follow during lectures. Will try to help out if you are genuinely trying, and doesn't like slackers

Great teacher. Hard exams, but is willing to meet you half way if he sees that you have half the brain and willing to put in your effort.

Hard as hell exams, and scarey as hell straight out of the gate. But if you can prove to him that you have a brain on your sholders and you belong where you are he'll do everything he can to make sure you get where your going.

Good instructor, he knows his stuff and is hard on us to get us to know it better. If you work hard and he sees it he might cut you some slack.

OK,I have to admit that u might despise him while you're still taking his courses.But thank him in the end when the military style teaching pays off. Keep up the good work Randy! & I agree the ones who will hate him are the ones who couldn't cut it!

He is a cool guy. His tests are hard, this is good it makes you try harder which actually makes you learn. Do you want the tests to be dead easy and not learn anything after. I think most people that complain are the people that can't cut it.

Randy is an efficient instructor, and if you have a problem, he will answer it for you and try and help you out. He is very knowlegeable in his field and handles his classes with efficiency. But I dare yo to ask him what the word "modulate" me
