Comment:
Francis is a very caring prof who wants all of his students to do well in his classes. You will need to participate in his classes as their is lots of material. His tests are all long answer questions. He gives you the questions but be prepared to write and remember all of your answers word for word. He is an easy marker as well.

Comment:
The material he teaches is hard. And he definitely makes it harder for students to learn. A lot of assignments, and if you don't attend class (even if you do) it is impossible to finish the tasks. He is helpful only if you keep visiting him in his office. The slides aren't very consistant and organized, so it's hard to find the material on moodle.

Comment:
this guy needs to be fired. he is the most unhelpful director i have ever met. he doesn't have time for the students, ignores your concerns, and just doesn't care in general. hinf needs to find a director who cares about the program and about students

Comment:
francis is extremely friendly and helpful, but constantly modifies and expands projects a couple days before the deadline so that you are scrambling to finish; also, the work put into each project is unproportaional to the value it has on your final grade
