Comment:

Probably the worst prof I've encountered in my experience spanning community college, undergrad and graduate studies. If this is the same guy from UBC, its a shame SFU took him on. His classes are poorly executed with scattered content and he offers very little in the way of insight. Avoid him if possible. He should not be an educator.

Comment:

I am surprised by the reviews on this site. He does expect a lot from his students, but I found that if you put in the effort, it was very well received. I totally agreed with the participation mark he assigned because it forces you to keep up with the work. I really enjoyed his class.

Comment:

Completely impossible, would have failed the entire class if he could have. Easily the worst prof I have encountered. Expectations are unrealistic, assignments unclear, and tests long. He's arrogant beyond belief. VERY VERY frustrating experience. AVOID his highness at all costs.

Comment:

Hooray, he's gone! Has to be one of the worst profs ever. Arrogant, unclear in what he wants for projects and extravagant expectations for 2nd/3rd year. Save yourself the pain, take another class -- if you can, with SFU's reg system!

He thinks he is god's gift to students. Extremely difficult to recieve a good mark in tutorial participation. I would never recommend taking this professor if you want to maintain a good GPA.

Comment:

He expects a lot and lets you know right from the beginning but is very approachable and helpful if you go and speak to him. If you're prepared to put the effort in you'll get a lot out of his class.

Comment:

Puts himself up on a pedistool and expects everyone to kiss his feet in order to do well in the class. He is extremely inflexible and I don't think he ever wants his students to do well because if he did he'd try harder to help them.

Little more than a bully who thinks you should be honoured when he graces you with his presence.

A very mean man, not interested in anything any student has to say. Seems to think he is hot stuff.
