Comment:

saying he's not organized is an understatement. when you dont even have a course outline even after midterm then u know something is wrong!!! not mentioning that he openly admits giving out 3-hour tests to do in 2-hours! wtf? if u can, avoid this guy; if u cant, avoid him.

Comment:

I think he is a gud prof.. the fact that folks don;t have basic knowledge of math doesn;t mean he is going too fast.. besides He have to go fast otherwise ppl won;t b prepared for the final.. I love his classes.. If u r good @ math keep doing the exercises and go to the labs.. U'll do fine..

Comment:

I can't believe all these bad comments about him are right, he doesn't care about students, he should've retired so much for him saying to me I'm a nice guy, he goes way too fast, even if you're struggling he doesn't care, even if you're a good student and you come close to passing he won't even round your mark off, and that's what he did to me

Worst Math Prof. in Ryerson! If you join his class ,Then you are certain to fail. He is not clear, he makes lots of math mistakes and he rushes through the materal. He is too old to teach.

Comment:

Worst math prof at Ryerson University. Drop out of his section immediately if you are ever stuck with him as the prof. Don't ruin your interest in math. His exams are incredibly difficult and he is so boring and very unclear. Messy handwriting

People are so harsh on this site. I guess mostly people who are pissed of take the time to vent. Anyway, he's an alright prof, sometimes makes mistakes on bored and fixes them in confusing ways. Teaches slow when the class is already behind.

By far the worst math prof I've ever encountered in my life. It's hard to make head or tail of what is exactly going on in class. My deepest condolences to anyone who has the misfortune of being in his class. Switch sections immediately!!!

Comment:

This prof is plain awful. His handwriting is very poor, he's extremely disorganized, and his tests are very hard. I usually get A's in my other courses and did badly in his class. He's given out lots of 'F's in the past so think before taking him.

Comment:

VERY BORING AND VERY HARD FOR CMTH 410. TEACHES WAY TOO FAST AND VERY CONFUSING AT TIMES. DROP HIS CLASS IF YOU GET HIM IN THE WINTER TERM AND TAKE IT IN THE SPRING WITH ANOTHER PROFESSOR. THE COURSE LOAD IS VERY HEAVY IF YOU TAKE HIS STATS CLASS.

Comment:

Dont expect to survive this course, without working your @$$ OFF! Probability and statistics with him is very complicated, he gives you old samples, but it's just too much to study with the various printed notes. Hard tests and hard exams! Boring prof!!
