Comment:

Doesn't care about students. Is accessible for exactly the hours of his office hours, not a moment more. He knocked me down a full letter grade for making 2 mistakes (I forgot a minus, and wrote 3 instead of sqrt(3)) . Tough/lazy marker. Do a lot of practice problems, he doesn't bother creating own questions and takes them from the textbook.

Comment:

His lectures are honestly not that useful. He simply copy pastes his online slides on the board and speaks too quietly to be understood. He solves many examples, but he tends to skip steps which can be confusing. He is very helpful outside of class though.

Comment:

Class was very easy, got a B+ with moderate effort. Prof explained as much as possible and tried to relate to real life engineering applications. Voice is very clear and no accent. Lectures were worth attending, lots of examples but tends to skip steps and confuse you. Overall solid choice.

Responds to e-mail quickly. Puts his office hours during the only tutorial time for the class (so if you go to tutorial you can't be in his office hours), but if you do go to his office hours he's helpful. Generally nice. Good notes overall. Some lack of clarity on the midterm. Final was very different than the midterm in terms of questions.
