Comment:

Knows his stuff but teaches above and beyond what students need to know for an intro course. Not a very clear communicator, often goes on tangents that are not linked back to course content until later. Hard to follow and confusing what points to focus on. Big on teaching his own assessment method at expense of understanding more common methods

Comment:

Has a tendency to go off on tangents and is definitely not for everyone. He is also clearly a bit of an 'agitator' within the faculty. However, he is clearly dedicated to student success, respectful of diversity, and a joy to listen to. Would recommend.

Comment:

This man is too intelligent for his own good. He keeps babling on and on. This was a theory class however no theory was discussed at length. Learned more on my own. He is a hard marker. Before you go out and venture into your essays, make an appointment with him as he has biases (e.g. spirituality). He is unclear. Hated this class!

Comment:

Extremely intelligent man, however too intelligent. Most of his lectures are way over the student's heads - and they are also boring. He tends to dominate group discussions in class. Also an EXTREMELY hard marker.(Interesting tidbit - he survived the Tsunami)
