Comment:

Midterm was easy as the average was high 72%. Very difficult final exam. On a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being the hardest), 9/10. Final average probably near 50%. But the course is curved.

Comment:

The course itself is not easy b/c there are so many formulas, equations and variables (more than you can imagine). His teaching style was more towards slower and fairly clear. And he does try to make the material easier and clearer for the students. Assignments were related to the materials and fair/easy. Overall a good prof, would rate B.

Comment:

Extremely smart and patient but very hard to get a good grade. Midterms are fair but final was extremely hard. Don't take this class if you are not in honours or any intentions of getting into honours. He explains math in an abstract method so brace yourself. In general, very nice man who knows what he is talking about.

Comment:

Hopeless with technology. Slow, meandering teaching style that bores students easily. Unresponsive to complaints or questions. Poorly worded assignments making it difficult to ascertain what he's looking for.

Comment:

Very hard course. Lots of calculus stuff. Lots of models need to be memorized. If you know ur calculus, u will find this course very easy. If u don't, u will not get the stuff. Prof is easy going, but not a good lecturer. Dont expect to learn from this course, unless u are interested in enviornment!

Open book and open note exams. The exam questions are even same as the assignment questions. It's really difficult to fail this course!
