Comment:

I do not like how Bill interacts with students. He tends to call on the male students more when the class doesn't respond to a classroom prompt. He is also more willing to problem solve with the male students in the class. i.e. Cutting off 3/about 7 of the female students while pitching story ideas, yet helping only 3 male students develop theirs.

Comment:

Bill actually kept me in journalism. Without him, I would have dropped out. He wasn't intimidating, just a chill guy, and he actually teaches you useful things, the first half of the journalism degree at Ryerson is useless.

Second time having this guy. Great prof, one of my favourites at RyeHigh -- I definitely learned a ton. He's always available for help, and he puts a lot of of time and effort into his students and their work. Also a fine painter, the lab never looked better.

I learned so much from this guy. He's always available after class for help, and he puts more effort into his classes and his students than the call of duty. Looking forward to working with him again.

Bill has the unique quality of motivating you without having to have a hissy fit himself. He was helpful, considerate and always around to help if I needed it. Great prof and a great year; how could anyone not get along with this guy??

I agree with the last rater. This guy sucks. And to make it worse, he just applied for tenure. Probably will get it, knowing Ryerson (bad decisions are made there repeatedly). Terrible, terrible, terrible.

Comment:

The WORST teacher I've ever had. Completely unprofessional, unsympathetic and mean, he made the final year of my post-grad degree a LIVING HELL. No way does a teacher who intimidates and harasses innocent students deserve any props whatsoever.

A pretty cool guy - laid back, brought in some fantastic guest speakers. Ian Brown is my hero now, and I have him to thank. But please, stop with the chalk juggling! It looks vaguely dirty.

Nice guy. BOOOOORING classes. Fair marker. Just endure, bring a book during the lecture and you'll get a good mark.
