Comment:

It is obvious that he doesn't know any thing about the materials inside the slides, he only reads them. I found his class very boring, and also his grading is terrible.

Comment:

I previously rated (I wrote the comment dated 11/5/05) But I changed my mind. I am happy about this course. It teaches useful topics. Prof is helpful + available if needed Its not easy but this is Queen's. So maybe compsci ppl stay away, but engineers take it. u can do 252 u can do anything. There is nothing sweeter than a course with no final exam

Comment:

This Prof is only teaching because he has too. He has no interest in actually improving his teaching skills. He pretty much just reads off his lecture slides that he purchased from the textbook publisher and answers questions. His assignments are not well thought out. Do not take this class if you can help it.

Comment:

This course makes me cry at night. Pleaes don't take it so that I'll know that it's induced misery will end with me. The material is so boring. The only thing interesting was programming and writing papers but his lack of specifications for his assignments and requirements confuses the sanity out of me that has taken all fun out of it.
