Comment:

Hes is the best professor in the university. You could ask as many questions as you want and as stupid as they could be , he would answer them clearly. All your basics would be strong after taking his class. when he teaches, he inspires and would make understand physical significance of everything he teaches. I highly recommend to take his class.

Comment:

Awesome lectures. Very reasonable grader. Easy exams. One complaint I have: he walked into the exam and answered questions for the first few minutes, and that was the last we saw of him for the rest of the final.

He marks quite strictly. Provides less practice sheets and expects more in the exams. He's not accessible outside the class.

best professor concordia has to offer! In 3 years he is the only prof that has obviously understood the course material and can explain it flawlessly and comprehensibly. 11/10 recommend taking him wherever it is an option!!

Comment:

In class he solves questions in which all the needed data and numbers are given in the original question. So all he does is simply plug in the given data in an equation. And he says (look class how easy this is). But don't be fooled those questions will never appear in any of his exams. You will have to find all the data by yourself. Study hard.

Comment:

Took ENGR311 as a prereq. course for my masters with him. This professor is respected and clear in what he is teaching. If you are a serious student who studies well and attends the tutorial every week you'll do great. Before taking this course years passed without solving Math, but there wasn't a problem catching up because of the clear lectures.

Comment:

This guy is a genius, originally a math major and it shows. He is super detailed in his explanations and they are great. This is a double edge sword as his tests are real wild cards, either easy questions or straight up the wack problems from hell that you needed to do all the text + extra problems to understand. Beware his crazy tests/finals.

Comment:

Easy midterm; impossible final. He does not take teaching seriously: purposely assigned practice problems & mock review exam with no resemblance to the actual final; miscalculated the grades of 20 students on midterm, never bothered to show up to final, etc. I came into the class with 4.2 of overall gpa; leaving probably with less than 4. AVOID

Comment:

He's a good explainer , the midterm was easy but the average was so low( 58%) bcuz he's a tough grader. There were only 5 problems in the final, all of them were really hard even I studied hard for this class; I did all homework problems in the text book. If you wanna get good grade in his class, try to solve his previous finals

Comment:

Taken during summer, this teacher comes in late and finishes early. He wasn't there for our final exam, because he booked a flight on the day of our exam.. There was also an error with one of the questions. His midterm was easy, but his final doesn't represent what he taught in class. 3/4 of his lectures are on drawing the same figure. Don't take.

Just a really good teacher. Explains concepts clearly and always relates the topics to real life situations. He doesn't rush through anything and really seems to care about his students' understanding. Would definitely take other classes with him if I had that option.

Comment:

Very nice and can teach well. Uses examples straight from the book, not always very useful. Issue is he doesn't care about teaching/students. Good luck meeting with him/getting him to answer emails to review exams/ask questions. You have to work on your own a lot to get a good grade. Overall okay choice, would take again but would not recommend.

Comment:

Took the class in summer. He use to finish class 1 hour early. In summer when time is limited finishing 1 hour early is a really bad thing. Never showed interest in teaching. Waited till after we filled the course evaluation sheet to return the midterms so that he stays safe. Class average for the midterm was 55% and 42 people failed the class.

Not a very good teacher. He does not care about his students and he is not very thorough. You can study from home since he is useless.
