Comment:

He is a nice guy who is always willing to help his students.His classes can become boring but some are very intresting.He is a fair marker but dont go trying to **** your answers,think a little.He hands out review questions before the test,if you know them you will do fine.I would take a class from him again if I had to.

Comment:

I took this class because it was required for graduation, but it turned out to be one of my favourites. The professor was helpful to me, way beyond what I deserved. (I was in the middle of depression and a very unreliable student.) If it wasn't for his help, I wouldn't have graduated. I hope he reads this. He has no idea how much he helped me. :)

Comment:

This guy is recognized as one of the top philosophers in eastern Canada. Though I disagree with a lot of his personal views, there's good reason he gets so much acclaim. And his courses are interesting and not exceedingly difficult (workload wise).

just love the guy. He's really into his teaching, you can tell he loves to teach. Gives great feedback on essays, and encourages you to do well. His exams can be hard, but he gives study questions that help a lot.

i thought he was a great prof. but somewhat impersonal outside of the class room. Seemed like you had to prove yourself to him.
