He was such a great prof! Super passionate about what he was talking about and class was never boring. Little unclear with expectations with assignments sometimes and hard to tell the marking criteria but he marks pretty fairly.

Comment:
He essentially fails to actually teach any of the material. The textbook is useless and he pretty much just relies on Youtube videos, guest speakers, and rehashing the same useless information. His guidelines for what is expected are extremely unclear and it feels like he just makes up grades as he goes. He takes forever to respond to questions.

Comment:
Gives students a different perspective and challenges them to think for themselves. Don't expect to be spoon feed. Others have commented that he is "weird". Yes, his teaching style is a different than other profs. Calling him weird is more a reflection on the closed minds of the posters. Great prof, learned a lot, highly recommend his courses.

Don't really know what to say about this guy... he's nice in class, but refuses to answer clarification questions with any helpful answer. He's a REALLY hard marker, and he somehow takes a million years to get your marks back to you... I would avoid him if at all possible.

the class doesn't really teach much. It's just a forum for pariticpation. As such, I didn't actually learn anything from him (tho I did learn my classmates views on subjects)

Comment:
He teaches different compared other profs. A bit weird, and random. However he tries to make his powerpoint slides interesting and crack jokes. Seems like he doesn't understand students points often but he tries to make sense of it to himself. Overall good class, it was fun.

It takes him forever to give your marks back!!! This shows his concern for the students. Overall the course is a waste of time.

Not really very focused, often just plain boring. Actually the worst prof I've had so far. Quite full of himself.

Nice guy who cares about his job. No depth of professional experience in the business world though so he often falls flat. Shouldn't teach beyond low undergrad. Switch out if you can - your time & money are precious

The guy's a cutie, but his classes are a joke...not to mention slightly misleading. You think the guy's going to be an easy marker, but just wait until you get your exam marks! Ouch!

good prof, helpful and insightful; won't do work for you that you can do on your own- expect tons of readings and work; if you put in the time, you will get a reasonable grade- fair exams and project (stick to the guidelines though!)
