Comment:
Very lazy and knows nothing about oil exploration. He copies questions from previous exams including bad grammar and spelling errors. He thinks finding oil is like gambling and pure luck to make a discovery. I am sure he hasn't discovered oil in a very long time as he has no idea what he is talking about. WORST PROFESSOR I HAVE EVER HAD!!!

Comment:
The lecture notes in this class are really concise and easy to understand with lots of supporting diagrams and photos. The lecturer has a wicked sense of humour. Marks are divvied up well. The labs support the lecture material for the most part, although some labs need teaching or demonstrating.

Bustin has this awesome dry sense of humour that some people are too stupid to get. He's a great guy and I can understand why he gets sick of idiot undergrads who want everything handed to them on a silver platter.

Comment:
Doesn't diserve the bad rap he is getting. Notes are well-organized and available. Yes - lecture style is boring and he talks too fast. However exams don't have any evil surprises and in general he simply cares more about his research, I guess.

Bustin is simply the greatest professor at UBC. He's the coolest, funniest guy I know. His exams are made up with help from his 20 year old son, so no one should have any problems aceing his exams, unless they're stupid.

Comment:
While some may complain he can be a boring speaker (partly true) he tries as best as he can to make things interesting and get people involved. He's always asking for suggestions to improve his lectures, and he's always willing to help students ask.
