Had Wayne for keyboarding, accounting and computer applications 1. He is well organized and prepared for class. 99% of the time has perfectly calculated class time efficiently. Will be taking him again for the 4th time next semester.

Comment:

Wayne is a boring teacher. It's really hard to sit through any of his classes without falling asleep. He also takes forever to teach all the easy stuff on Microsoft word BUT, he rushes through all the hard stuff like excel. He's very rude and doesn't care about his students.

Comment:

Wayne is a well-organized, reliable prof. Goes over notes most of class and leaves enough time to try the new material and give students an opportunity to ask questions. As long as you put in effort, it is not difficult to get a good grade. It was a pleasure to have Wayne as my accounting (and keyboarding) prof.

Comment:

although i'm sure he is a nice guy outside of class, his classes are very boring and hard to pay attention to. He is a good teacher and as long as you pay attention you will pass and understand things. BUT he can be very rude, he goes way too fast and it's really irritating!!!!

Wayne is a good teacher. I noticed he sometimes has an attitude and can be snappy with students. Other than that take his classes.

Pretty easy class if you actually paid attention. Honestly I never really came unless I had to or when I felt like there was a section that I should really come in and learn about. He's pretty chill, and probably only reason why I went was because I was getting an A the whole semester. Dope teacher, you should go take his class.

Honestly had this prof for Organizational Behavior at BCIT. Was very informative and engaged the class very well. Im hoping his style has remained the same and hes a gem ! I wish he would teach outside of Continuing Ed courses at Douglas College.

Wayne is a great teacher once you adapt to his lesson structure (just like any other new teacher a person gets). He's got straight forward lectures on Power Point and was terrific in answering questions for me and my classmates individually. He may make you work for it if it's something simple you're just missing, but how else can you learn!

Well I have to say that I wasn't very interested in taking Microcomputer Applications 1, but Wayne made it really easy for me to follow along and if I ever had a question he was always there to help me. He is a great teacher. I would recommen him to anyone going to take Microcomputer Applications 1.

Wayne is an awesome Instructor! He made accounting easier to understand by using PowerPoint to teach the subject. Visual learners would really benefit from this â€" I highly recommend his class. 1356-He gives tips that are not found in the text books. Very helpful. Do all assigned reading before class and you will have no trouble following along.

Comment:

I found Wayne to be an excellent instructor. Sometimes the pace was a little quick but if you let him know he would accomodate. If you are taking his class and you have problems with the material etc. just talk to him. He will help. Be respectful in his class and you will do well. Wayne has an excellent sense of humor, look for it.

Comment:

Wayne has a very quick pace in his classes. I don't think he is thinking much about his students with this pace as it is hard to follow along when he is going too fast. So far he seems like a nice teacher, though I wish he would take more time to explain things.

Comment:

I enjoyed Wayne’s classes and learned a lot! He is an easy-going, dedicated and approachable instructor. (Don’t be intimidated by the Bruce Willis look). He teaches step-by-step for the benefit of those not familiar with Word, etc, and helps during lab time.
