He gives excellent feedback on the course material. But personally, he is not very friendly. Mind you, he is a nice person, but he just seems to be a bit reserved.

Comment:

Smart guy. Not the most personable in the world, but he will help out out with whatever you need. His availability is also relatively very good. However, he has VERY subjective marking (for an engineering prof) which can be frustrating if his opinion doesn't swing your way. That being said, he's open for discussion.

Comment:

Very good professor, extremely approachable, takes an individual interest in students. 3550 isn't a class you can learn the week before the exam. Very entertaining, lots of good stories thrown in here and there during class.

Comment:

His exams were totally out to lunch, he seems to pull them out of the air. Opposite to the material he taught. Its time to retire and get someone who can make the course interesting. Totally useless as an Engineering Design mentor, also.

Comment:

Needs to be morehelpful & notes, reference books and old exams are not available for the sourse. This makes the course harder than it should be.
