Comment:
I thought Dr. Butler was a great professor. I loved the computer science material Dr. Browse presented the most, but Dr. Butler was a more engaging speaker. I think his material was needed for those who might not have a computer science background, since allot of student are not in computing. He also doesn't have office hours, so keep that in mind.

Comment:
Dr. Butler's lectures were too theoretical at times but this was personal preference (I preferred Dr. Browse's material). Difficulty was quite high for a 1st year class (>25% of class failed). Attendance isn't mandatory but you need to go if you want a decent grade. Also little textbook use. A challenging but interesting course - take it seriously.

Not excellent. I felt let down by the course, as I thought it would be truly interesting before I actually attended a lecture. Very witty man and helpful, but considering there was no TAs for this class he was often busy.

I found him a funny prof with really interesting material but the marking system was really hard. I think the standard deviation was really off. This was my worst mark by far. There are no weekly tutorials and if i had questions i found him rather condescending and unhelpful.

Butler is AMAZING! This is my favourite class, love it so much! You can really tell that he is passionate about what he teaches. the material is very interesting on its own but his enthusiasm and humour make the best! Great prof. and such a cutie! Sad that this is only a half year course! Only problem would be that there aren't any tutorials...

I'm in my third class this year with professor Butler and he's absolutely fantastic. Passionate about what he teaches and cares a great deal for the students. By far my favourite professor at Queen's. :)

In class, went on many amusing tangents. Interesting topics, but slideshow notes were not very helpful. Hard to find outside of class....

He is a very funny prof, very wise and intelligent looking! very nice person. his lectures are hard, but this course is abstract and he tries his best. if you read his lecture notes and the textbook you'll understand. Butler is awesome!

The most majestic and lordly of beards rests upon the face of Professor Brian Butler. Oh, and he's a good prof, too.

George Lucas here was ridiculously dry. His exams were marked randomly and the course material went against everything psychology ever developed in the past 100 years. Arrogant and had total disregard for science. Real science.
