Comment:

Nice guy. He's very willing to help and makes a theoretical and potentially difficult course really easy to understand and retain. A lot of the exam questions are taken out his course notes Though he has an accent, he still uses the english language very accurately. All in all an excellent experience in a CS course @ uwo which is rare.

Comment:

Good prof -- friendly and helpful. You get used to his accent and it's not as strong as people make it out to be. Just pay attention and listen. Assignments/exams are easy. Takes people missing his class personally, but sometimes you just have to miss a class or two.

Comment:

I think his English has improved a bit since the earlier ratings. He isn't that hard to understand, but you have to pay attention. I really wish he had more helpful things on the website like detailed assignment and submission instructions though, his English isn't THAT great and it's easy to miss details in class. Course objectives clear though.

Comment:

Very nice professor. Gives frequent examples on the whiteboard to illustrate his points, which help to clarify things. Accent is a bit thick, but you get used to it quickly. Very helpful man, and has a very good comprehension of the problems that you try to convey to him.

Comment:

One of the easiest 300 level courses. Excellent course notes, and once you get used to his accent he's pretty clear and easy to understand. Be sure to get old exams and assignments from ppl who've already taken the course as he recycles old questions.
