Great prof! Very helpful and interesting. He adds a real-life touch to the course by adding humour and giving some tips based on Carnegie's book. Very down-to earth and knows the material he teachers makes the ITM course something to look forward to rather than be intimdated by. Highly recommended!

Comment:

Professor MacNaughton is the reason I have decided to minor in ITM. The course is divided up into 5 Professors who give lectures. Ross MacNaughton, Ken Grant, John Peco, James Norrie and Ron Babin. This is really good because they are all sick professors. He loves dissing U of T with funny jokes! LMAO =P exam is not hard just study hard and focus!

Comment:

Attendance is 5%, unless your sick u can get 5/5% but most of us got 4.5%. Lab is soft, take any prof, but Lee is the best. The guy doesn't teach as heavily as the other profs, but like he a funny guy who hate son UofT and always warns us about virus and email. He does advertise a lot which can be annoying. He lectures pretty much like an show

Comment:

For first year students, you will have multiple profs for this course (a differ one each week) - this guy is the best one you will receive. He makes funny jokes to keep the room lively. The course is mandatory for nearly everyone (in business) and might be easy or hard (your mark really depends on the final exam). The lab portion is a joke though.

Very funny guy. Too bad the course is terribly boring. Quite a leinant marker and took hard questions off the final exam in order to bump our marks.

HILARIOUS prof! Really clear and helpful.. even stated himself that if you miss a test will give you a second chance even without a doctors note as long as if he feels your not full of *@%# ... also barely studied for the midterm and got a decent mark.. the course structure is a big pain however with many assessments.. overall definitely recommende

WORST PROF! He is hired by ryerson to weed out students, gave a second midterm the day before the drop date and said every wrong answer is .25 off. Makes sure stuff is tougher after the drop date and makes the final project due the day of the exam. Avoid him.

He is EXTREMELY funny. It is a joy going to his classes. However, sometimes he doesn't teach properly and just go through the slides. The book has all the info anyway so I would go to his classes! I recommend. Also, pretty easy marker. Passionate about his work. VERY funny and makes classes worthwhile and they seem to end extremely fast! Take him!

Comment:

He's a good teacher, tries to make a fairly boring class interesting, online test are easy. Biggest downfall is his TA Shanta. Shanta is moody, and full of herself. Every question you ask her she snaps at, not helpful at all. She marks the assignments and is very difficult, unclear, and unwilling to explain why she awarded the mark she did.fireher.

This class will surely whip you into shape if you are a 1st-year. Through his course work load you learn far more than any other class and if you can handle him, then you can handle anything in Ryerson. I remember the final project was a 20 page report woo i worked hard on it and got a 95%. He is a good prof but you have to work for your marks.

He's a really cool prof. For an 8:00am class he makes it pretty fun with his UofT jokes and what not. For the course itself, its not difficult if you have some bakground of IT. The midterm was alrite just study the book a few times and same with the final. Overall, this was a really great class with a really good prof. I got a A-.
