Comment:

He cant teach, everybody in the class complains about this guy but their too scared to come on here and say something. He cant teach, what he says in class he doesnt write down, doesnt explain things clearly and his tests are worded differently to what he says in class. Wrote everything down, went to him for help and still struggled bad.

Comment:

Good luck with this guy. Never skipped one class, wrote EVERYTHING he said on the board, went to him numerous amount of times for help and still didnt explain things clearly. His tests are different to what he explains in class. This is pretty corrupted how he still has a job in teaching, hes better of working in the industry instead. Good luck.

Guys an idiot. He knows the code too well to be teaching. he teaches like weve been in the field for 5 years. Uses the word correct too much and it gets pretty annoying.

Does not give any notes! Doesnt use black board at all... like at all. Refuses to give extra work. Basically if you dont write down everything he says ever your going to struggle

Comment:

He's a hard prof! But he is fair! Show up to class and he is super helpful and knows his stuff! His tests are hard but if you go to class and listen you will learn things that are actually useful. If you don't show up and don't try, you will fail. He is not out to get people but he doesn't want to pass someone that does not deserve to pass.

Comment:

Great Prof. Tests and assignments were challenging but if you go to class and want to learn, you won't have a problem. Exam was stressful but not overly hard. More time consuming. Overall, very smart when it comes to the OBC. I learnt a lot in his two building code classes

Comment:

The best teacher I have had so far. Not only is he extremely nice and fair, he's extremely helpful. Although i do agree with the comment of the program going down overall, this teacher still is one of the best in the college and will continue to inspire me in my next career.

Knows his stuff, just show up to class, pay attention, take notes and mark your book. Only tests on things that were covered in class, so he is very fair that way. Overall I would say he is great!

Knows the Ontario Building Code like the back of his hand. Hard tests, but a fair marker and wants his students to pass. No issues with him, good teacher.

Comment:

Fails everyone for exams, people that seem to pass are guessing. Has a quota almost for "certain" students to graduate... very poor teacher when you go to ask for help as he won't even give you the answer or right steps to take. Made me drop out of Seneca to another college, the program failed since Stu Evans stopped being a coordinator.

Demanding but very fair, flexible and helpful. Assignments were difficult but were very good preparation for work, helped a lot. He's demanding but also very flexible, always willing to give extra help when needed, easier than most to get a hold of.

Not helpful at all and likes to screw his graduating students out of good marks in his classes. Go to Etiquite class John... learn how to be nice and not to lie to your students.
