One of the worst professors that I have ever come across. Does not teach. Is insulting in the class. Acts like a condescending bully. Is consistently late to class; does not provide answers to questions. Bad in every way. STAY AS FAR AWAY FROM HIM AS POSSIBLE.

Terrible professor. Is condescending and rude, does not provide helpful feedback. IS very anal about how work is presented and acts like the course is graduate level. Compared to the other professor that teaches this course, he is terrible. Avoid taking his class if possible.

Comment:

Adding to the comment above, it was Urban Planning & Policy, you don't have to use the book... waste of $60, but it was actually a good read. Ask him for clarification on something, and he told me "Your research will give you an answer" but if you turn it in wrong he'll say "you should have come talk to me" -_- .. worse class of fall 11

He is one of the best professors at RIT, able to explain the basics in a way i could use it. Exams are not easy, but I did fine - I learned a lot.

Comment:

Not clear on what he wants for assignments. Often grades arbitrarily and without any clear guidline. Asks students to be actively engaged in class, but when hard questions are posed he switches topics or says the question is outside the scope of the discussion.

Comment:

I have never rated a professor. But the reason why I'm rating him is so that every1 is aware before taking him. His exams a really hard and the way he teaches is just bad. Please do not take him for any course.

Comment:

Absolutely terrible. Assigns an excessive amount of work from the get-go in his syllabus, and then assigns more and more all quarter long. Lectures are incoherent and talk about everything except anything you will be tested on. Tests are ridiculous, include "trick questions" and such. Worst teacher I've had here so far. avoid if at all possible.

Comment:

Rabling, often incoherent. Spends too much time on the civics we learned in high school... then tries to defend his record as Mayor. Grades arbitrarily, changes assignments the day before they're due. Total waste of time, avoid at all costs.

Comment:

Hard course, but if you pay attention and use the concepts he gives you, it is not that hard of a course (billed as one of the toughest at RIT). He really is a funny guy and a good friend once you are done with the course.
