Comment:

You are honestly better off studying on your own. I've attended all of his tutorials and they were completely useless, almost never on the tests. There was a time where he kept giving the wrong solution for one question, so we ended writing 4 different solutions in that one tutorial class because he kept messing up when trying to explain to us.

Awesome prof. Funny and interesting. Wants all his students to pass and get good grades which I find to be rare within physics and math profs at York. Online weekly tests and online finals. No Homework. Easy A. Totally recommend.

Professor has no plan is all over the place. Changes requirements and expectations on the fly and clearly favors individuals and projects which relate to his specialization.

He opens the lecture slides and talks about other random topics. Marks hard for presentation and assignments.

Comment:

His lectures , assignment, and presentation were ok but his midterm was super abstract and super confusing. Some of the smart kids in my class dropped the course right after the midterm. I made the mistake of trudging along and ended up dropping the course a week before the exam. Avoid if you can. You're better off taking Chesser for this course.

A very nice prof - he was passionate about what he taught. His midterm exam was pretty simple (just make sure you do past exams). The group project and clicker quizzes were pretty straight forward too. He's pretty chills. :)

Very kind and enthusiastic prof. Good notes and always eager to help. Kind of a bland subject though. Textbook wasn't too helpful - only used it in the open book exam (I recommend just borrowing from the library for that 1-time use :P)

Prof was great but I don't feel like I really learned all that much. Text was a waste because we only used it on the exam (open text). We got lots of work, but classes really didn't help all that much.

Everything he talks about in class is interesting but hardly relevant for the exam.
