Comment:

Absolutely one of the worst professors I have had while at Ryerson. He creates anxiety in students by spam emailing the entire class. He does not teach well and although he is knowledgeabl on the topic does not do a good job of conveying it to the class. If you go to class he will tell you what will be on the midterm but stay away from him if you c

This man is a genius, no doubt. He is definitely not organized at all. He teaches you things that is relevant in the industry. It is mandatory for you to go to class.

Comment:

Doesnt go much into details of the covered topics and the slides used cover the bare minimum. HIs tests are much more difficult than the homework or examples in the slides. Upside i guess is he provides you with more industry knowledge. To do well, go over past tests and make sure you understand everything instead of memorizing.

Comment:

This course is interesting, but Cheung made it hard. He doesn't start with basics, jumps right in. Its best you preread his notesbook b4 class. It helps a lot. He tells u that ur boss doesn't pay you just 4 knowing how to punch nums, but for understanding the material as an engineer, but doesn't facilitate the understanding well himself. The irony

Comment:

Worst "Professor" I have had in my life. No course structure. Jumps from topic to topic. Insults students if they ask question. Never provides feedback marks assignments on time. I honestly cannot say one positive thing about this "Professor". Incompetent language skills and I swear I can write better with my left hand than he can with his right.

Comment:

Probably the worse professor at Ryerson ; and "teaching" the most important engineering course for EEngs. He has no interest in teaching, comes with no specific plan of teaching and have extremely poor communication skills. I request Ryerson to remove this professor.

Comment:

I cannot believe why this professor is teaching. This man does not know what he is teaching about. He cant teach properly so alot of students dont come to his class and beacuse people didnt come he decided to make a midterm that he says "even graduate students cant do.

Comment:

This professor gives us the midterm and tells us that even graduate class can't do it. Teaches Philosophy in class and ask us engineering questions in the exam. He does not prepare his own teaching materials. Steals power point slides and notes from other professors.

I rarely attended his lectures but to be fair I found that he had posted very interesting exercise questions on line. I solved all of them using the text book and that helped me a lot in exams.

Not very clear when it comes to teaching or answering questions. You are probably better off reading the textbook.

Comment:

This man motivates me. Only because if someone this incompetent, rude, moronic, unorganized can land a respected position (lel) then i have high hopes for myself. The best part of class is when he gets stumped on a lecture slide and just stares at it with the class, it's almost cringe worthy.

Comment:

Don't take the course with him. Can pretty much ruin the foundations of power systems for you. And if you do take it with him don't believe him and invest in the textbook. He told our class he would give a bonus. In the end he did not. And the average for the midterm was 47%. You be the judge.

Comment:

This guy simply ridiculed one of the most important courses of electrical engineering. All mid-term questions were wrong. perhaps he didn't spend 5 minutes to prepare them. All students should seriously talk to Dean and ask for firing him.
