Comment:

Talks about random things all class, reminds me some what of a philosopher when he speaks except he has nothing insightful to say. He's condescending and very against technology. You can tell he means well but it just doesn't work for the students. The class he teaches is terribly boring so I cant really blame it all on him either.

Don't expect him to help you out if your struggling. Not only is the course outline a gigantic maze with due dates spread out across, but missing anything will result in him telling you your life is a mess and you should figure it out.

Comment:

Horrible. Course outline is 25 pages. Multiple weekly assignments in attempt to force people to read the textbook. Doesn't give marks for it, but takes attendance - uses this to alter exam grades. Not fair. Offers 20% bonus mark on case study for creativity. I got 0 of that and got a C+ (I have an A in case studies) -- should not be a prof

Comment:

Not a good teacher, very condescending which makes it painful to even go to class. Gets angry when you don't participate, gets even more upset when you do and you're not correct. Overall not enjoyable, way too complex marking schemes that were very inconsistent as well. Honestly, avoid him if its possible, it'll make your semester 100% better,

Comment:

Very hard marker - overly complex marking schemes - inconsistent and useless class lectures - class slides are not given in advance & are relatively useless - unmotivating - my advice is to avoid taking this class with him if at all possible.

I had him for 42.210 - basically all he does is use the overhead slides from the text which repeat what is in the book - useless prof.
