Comment:

Decent Guy, good visual representations&examples, knows his stuff. Not the most organized, needs a bit more time management. Course moved slowly for the first chapters (11&12&13 D TRIM), and the last chapter (14) was loaded on us the week before the final. Suggestion to future students: Linearly match the course chapters to your course time frame.

Comment:

Made no [digital] copies of lecture notes available. Followed the text book mostly with slight modifications. If you missed a lecture, you were out of luck. Poor planning of course outline- ran out of time at end of term.

Comment:

Does not teach, briefly goes through 30 slides in 50 minutes. That's not teaching. Apathetic about student concerns. "50% average? Oh okay." By far the worst professor I've had in my academic career here in waterloo.

Comment:

Oh he is the worst. Worst notes ever. Not worth going to his class. Avoid at all costs. His notes have no context and he just rambles without direction.

Comment:

Completely ruined the course; he lectures without notes and in turn tends to forget what he's supposed to teach. His lectures were unclear, but unfortunately his explanations were worse. Expect to use the textbook a LOT, notes from class were awful. I attend all my classes, but if I were to skip one, it would be his. Stay away if possible.

Comment:

One of the worst profs I've ever had. No doubt, he's very smart and has a fantastic memory, but he aims his discussions at a level far higher than he should. His class notes were almost 100% useless. Be prepared for a long, painful exercise in self-learning.
