Comment:
You better type fast in his class as he never post anything online and you literally HAVE TO type down everything on his slide, because that's where your test questions coming from. No textbook needed, 50% off if you handed in your work just 1 SECOND LATE. Figure out the software on your own since no instruction will be provided. Easy marker

An unhelpful professor who doesn't appear to care about teaching. He looks to do the least amount of work that he can, usually by enforcing arbitrary -15% deadlines

You actually learn the soft wear (PCI) in his class else than being fallowing step by step instruction manual. Suck that he does not post lecture slides. You have to write/type really fast. Easy to talk to, very helpful professor

Comment:
All right prof who knows what he's teaching and talking about. Kinda off topic, but he wouldn't fit in well in the corporate world cause of his fashion sense. Also, its best to be respectful in his class when he teaches, cause if you don't, he'll probably ask "whats with you people?"

Comment:
You can tell the course means very little to him by the fact that he canceled half the lectures (not an exaggeration) and by the fact that he grades and regrades based on how little work he has to do.

Comment:
Was a big disappointment. Kept cancelling class: either was away, or had a quiz, or just showing movies. While very informed about the topic he did not put much effort into teaching and was condescending if you go to his office. GEO 702 mandatory for some engineering programs though.

Comment:
A poor mans Swales, who puts a great deal of effort into 'getting down with the kids', or at least, the popular ones he tends to favour. He's often late and unprepared for classes, and announces that he'll talk for the next 5 minutes and then let everybody work of their own accord. An extremely lazy teacher, yet a unproportionately harsh mark

Wayne is the only professor that has developed an impartial system of grading. His lectures can be a bit bland but I love the occassional swear. If only every prof was like Wayne!

A rare prof who does not drown you with ****. his classes are straigh foreward and clear. he wont spoon feed you, but what he wants in assignments are clear and write ups never over a page. His years in Austria have given him an iron liver.

NOT at all a good prof. Teaches an easy topic, but he's never prepared for class. (How is that possible?) He's an ok guy, but spends too much time being "cool" with the students...so get on his good side.

Worst professor I've had at Ryerson -- and believe me, I've had some pretty bad teachers. Can't teach for****. (And it's not like it's a hard course to teach either, ****.)

refreshing in that he has no ego...enjoys getting to know students, yet respects the boundaries when it comes to marking assignments...fair, knowledgable, and a change of pace from the old school geo bums...wild turkey drink of choice.

VERY easy course. Lectures never longer than 1 hour, but still managed to cover the material and add some extra stuff. Wouldn't provide a straight answer to questions. Teaches with the students in mind. Look forward to having him again.

Easy course, but not that informative... I want to know more! If you have a question, don't expect an answer... Yet, he's still a good prof, conscientious of students
