Course was not that difficult as long as you kept on top of readings and idattention during lectures. He was late every day for class, but still was a decent lecturer

Comment:

I really enjoyed this class. His lectures were always clearly outlined to the class, he stayed on topic, and he led good discussions. I liked his sense of humour too. Also, even though it was a 3 hour class, we rarely went more than 2 and a half hours.

I LOVE him, yes he may be late but he is such an awesome prof. He is clear, funny and understanding. His material is very interesting and you can tell he really really knows his stuff, he will admit it if he does not know the answer to a question. This prof is one of my top three!

Comment:

This guy's a joke. He's NEVER punctual, he's not organized and I wouldn't say he's one of the good ones. The material's easy and so are the exams. They're directly from what he tells you to practice. The course is an easy A, by far one of the easiest courses I've taken.

His lectures are kind of boring, but as long as you get his notes and study the questions he posts up, you'll do fine. His tests are the exact questions he asks you to study~~

He's a really good prof who knows what he's talkin about. He's also very precise in what he wants done for exams and papers and so you're not "suprised". The notes online were extremely helpful and the discussions he prompted in class provided a cool atmosphere.

Good prof I guess. A bit boring but nice and clear. His notes are kind of weird (and in WORD!). Tests clear and easy, basically given to you in advance on webct.

Comment:

This Prof makes applied ethics easy, his material is now all posted on WebCT! however he only posts it minutes before class. He's smart, gives you the exam (in review format) and is definitely not hard to look at. His lectures are interesting however they could use more discussion. Take His Classes.

Comment:

I dropped this class after the 2nd class because I was so frustrated with him. He was late to both classes, still did not have the syllabus on the 2nd day and blamed it on his secretary, never covered the material he said he would, did not know how to deal with dissenting views, and picked male students to speak before female... frustrating :P

Comment:

He's OK, i guess. His lectures can get a bit boring but the topics can be quite interesting (that is, if your even remotely interested in the case studies). The TA's are the markers. I got slobodan who's biased and boring - he was prejudice on my essay! if he's not on ur side from the beginning your mark is screwed. He was a hard marker on tests.

EASY. Only complaint was that notes should be in PowerPoint and not Word. The blinking cursor drove me crazy.

Comment:

Well, I am not sure why this prof is receiving some negative reviews. He is articulate, intelligent, humorous, and very helpful, if you take the time to contact or see him. He is late to class (by about 10 minutes) and does not have notes. So what? He knows the material from the top of his head and, best of all, he can help you understand.
