Comment:
To be honest, the course material is interesting if you learn it yourself, and it's a nice break from all the other engineering heavy courses. BUT, that being said, why is he getting paid to read off slides? Just try and avoid this man when you take this course because he's honestly no good at ANYTHING.

What a complete waste of potential! He seems to be out of touch with the modern world. This course could have been taught by any other math prof at Ryerson.

Honestly, I'm blessed that I took this class online. I would've failed hard otherwise. Didn't really learn much, and the examples given are extremely vague. Prof is knowledgeable, but conveys the information in a poor manner. Pop quizzes are hard. I would advise you to find practice questions outside the course material (textbook), YouTube

This course needs a complete overhaul. Frankly, Garnet Ord is not the right man for the job. It could have been taught by a professor who is more enthusiastic and can actively engage the aufience like a coach.

Comment:
This guy was amazing, these engineering kids always give him a harsh review because the course isnt engineering oriented but in reality the quizzes and tests require you to use engineering skills and thinking that are outside of the box, you will pass if you made it through kindergarten, If You understand the fundamentals of shapes and patterns

Comment:
His slides are helpful and the textbook is free. His course notes are almost like a textbook of their own which shows his dedication. Other than paying for Tophat I had no problems. He was approachable in the office hours. If you do your work, lab quizzes and in-class quizzes will still be a bit tricky but midterm and exam are pretty reasonable.

Comment:
He just reads the slides and doesn't provide any meaningful elaboration on the concepts which leaves you with lots of work to learn it by yourself. He gives off the feeling that he thinks he's better than you and sounds like he has no interest in the subject. The only redeeming factor was that the midterm and final exam were not bad.

Terrible prof. Constantly ignores student emails. Class lectures are just him reading off the slides and not explaining examples. The only reason why I attended classes were for the dumb quizzes(worth marks) which were on topic we haven't even got a chance to learn. Use the textbook, literally will be your best friend.

Just dont bother going to his class. He quizzes you on stuff you haven't even learnt. There is a ta named ali who is censoring everyone in the class, and restricting our need to ask questions and such. I remember asking a valid question, and Ali ridiculed me saying its trivial when the entire class was lost.

The worst prof at Ryerson!! He just reads off the slides and makes the hardest exams. He makes us pay for the top hat which is the most useless platform for testing someone's knowledge.

This professor is the worst of them all. Does not reply to emails purposely and makes up bogus excuses as to why he is moving the weighting of the assessments in the middle of a semester. Gave up teaching us and made someone else do the lectures instead.
