Comment:

Super TOUGH grader!! Do not take him if you can. The class is so boring. Most of students were sleeping, on their phones or laptops waiting for the time to pass. He would never smile and even attempt to do. Once you ask him something you won't get the right answer and he might go in an argument for no reason. His quizzes are tricky and difficult.

Comment:

AVOID HIM AT ALL COST. The class is boring af. You should bring a pillow to his classes and one more for your deskmate. All he actually does in class is read over and over the slides which were posted on Moodle. You can ask him a question and then he will answer you by smth that doesn't relate at all. Just avoid him to protect your GPA.

HE IS THE WORST PROFESSOR EVER !!! He is very rude and disrespectful with students. He keeps solving homework with students and never help them to improve their writing skills. If you don't want your GPA to drop, DON'T take ESL 204 with him. Just Don't !! AVOID HIM AT ALL COSTS !!

AVOID him. DROP the class; otherwise, you'll regret as I do now. I took his ESL 204 class this fall. He is a very tough grader, and his classes are very boring. Preparation to each class do not contribute to the grade at all, but very time consuming. His classes drop your GPA. Wait for the better choice and take the other professor.

Comment:

I taked this course at McGill and his classes are boring and confusing. He is not anglophone but hi knows a lot English grammar. His midterms and finals are really hard and tricky. Only 2 students got an A-, two students B+, the others B- and C+. Avoid this guy if you want learn English and get a good mark.

Comment:

You have to follow his guidelines, otherwise you'll not succeeded. He is not flexible, so you must really respect due dates and attend. If your English is pretty bad you better choose someone else - he is an honest grader, but can give you a very low grade. The course is pretty easy. Overall he is a good teacher.

Comment:

He is a hard marker. He never smiles in his class. He seldom encourages his students. His two grammar editing tests are very ridiculous, for he just downloaded some scientific articles from the Internet and then, asked us to edit some mistakes changed by himself. Because of him, my GPA was lowered. I only have 3.33 so far! How angry I am now!

If you want to write in good grammar and academic English, take his course. Otherwise, forget about it! He drilled you like military but encourage academic dialogue through out the course, including over run him by point of view.

If you want to pass this course you can take this course with him. But if you really care about your money and learning efficiently, NEVER NEVER take with him. He does not know the material himself!!!!!!!

Comment:

If you want marks with little work, forget him. If you want to improve your academic writing, he is the one. He is strict but very fair. And he knows his stuff. You can't fool him.
