Comment:

This guy is really horrible. Doesn't even use firstclass. His explanations are quickly run through and not done for you to understand, more like he is reciting something. DO not take analysis with this guy, I would stay away.

Comment:

he must have come and checked what people wrote because his tests had NONE of the questions from the study guide... NONE of the same problems that he had in class...i hate when teachers do problems and do something completely different on the test

SO BORING CLASS.THE WORST TEACHER I'VE NEVER MET!

Comment:

Use his class notes and examples and you'll do great on the midterm. He's not very clear during lectures but his class notes are pretty good. The final was harder and some concepts were not done in class... Just use the study guide and his notes and you should be fine!!

Comment:

Easy? I don't think so. The subject itself it's not hard. I mean we had a common Final Exam at Loyola Gym and ALL the other classes except ours finished their exam in 1.5 hrs or less. WE WERE the single class that stayed till past 3hrs! Even the "smarties" of the class. Average class grade for Mid term was around 60's. That should explain enough.

Comment:

Very easy to get a good grade. ALL his questions come from his notes and problems. Do the problems coz exam Qs are exactly the same, with the figures changed. Go to his last class (review) coz he does some problems that will appear in final exam! Class is not difficult at all.

He is a boring teacher! His voice helps me sleep. However, his notes are helpful, and the exams are very easy.If you wanna a good grade, you can take him.

Comment:

He has very poor understanding of the material and makes a lot of mistakes regularly. However, it is VERY easy to get a good grade in the course. Most exam problems come from his notes, and MC questions from the study guide, verbatim! With a bit of work, it's quite easy to get an A. Just don't expect him to actually teach you the material properly.

This teacher has problem even with simple addition. You'll get a good grade with him if you remember all his written notes. You won't learn anything from him! I wonder why he can teach in university!

Comment:

Easily the worst teacher I have ever had in all of my academic career. I failed this course with him and got an A the second time around (with another prof). Huge difference and attributable mainly to the quality of teaching. Avoid at all costs, drop the course if you must, but save your time, money and energy.

Comment:

there's no point in avoiding him, since all other professors teaching this course are just as bad. he can't teach, he's a tough grader, and gives way too many annyoying quizes. learn everything on your own but pay attention to the examples he gives in class. they're literally the same ones that come on the midterm and final.

Comment:

Horrible horrible horrible...the man simply can not teach. His lectures are boring and useless. He makes lots of mistakes while giving out examples. But I can't blame him, the subject sucks. COMM 220 is the one of the most useless and difficult class. Go to his final review sessions, it helps alot. But avoid at all cost...

Comment:

***THE WORST TEACHER AT CONCORDIA*** Your mark will NOT reflect the work you put in. At least if he were competant....he makes more mistakes than his students do. He is lazy and uncooperative. Spends time covering useless material. The only class worth attenting is the last makeup class where he revises problems. DO NO TAKE AT ANY COST!!!!!

Comment:

Extremely boring lectures but you have to attend them because he gives the same examples as he will give you on the exam. Not a good teacher but if you get any past exam, you will get an A because he gives the EXACT same questions. Word for word. He will even tell you that he uses the same questions. Annoying quizzes though

He's a very bad teacher, with an awful accent. he's so bad that has to give out the final's answers so that his students won't fail the exam. the WORST teacher I've ever had
