Comment:

Horrible, dates on exams change so your personal commitments don't matter, the weight of exams he also changes whenever he wants. The worst prof at SFU does not respect student-prof agreement at the start (course outline). The exams are poorly made, making the averages very low, just a bad experience overall.

Comment:

Ash is a funny guy, and good in the lab. However, his tests are really poorly made. He has a strange curving system. Expect to get low on the test then he will scale the class at the end. Do not trust the grading scheme. It will constantly change throughout the course, and the dates of the exams will constantly change. Always expect an exam.

Comment:

Lecture notes are little vague, but doubling-down on the textbook will suffice. Is very experienced and knows what works and what doesn't. Tests are tricky but never feel impossible. Has a very generous curving policy and provides a "lifeline" second chance to not fail the course. Put time into the course and you will probably learn something.

Comment:

Ash is a great person and is a well-tenured professor. He has a unique teaching style and is clear about his expectations. Exam questions are often solves by no more than 4-5 lines of writing. He does tend to stick to the textbook material so attendance is not mandatory. A generous grading scale is also in place.

Really funny/laid back, assignments were basically just completion. Make sure you practice for the midterm and final and you'll do fine.

Ash is based god. Best prof in ENSC! Clear, entertaining, always willing to help, stays late to help students in the lab (labs are tough but rewarding). If you put in the work he makes it easy to get a good grade. Wants everyone to succeed. Great guy. Sense of humour is second to none. classic. non "el cheapo" education with this guy!

Ash is easily the most engaging engineering professor I've had so far. Yes, his notes may be a bit messy, but he points out important points that students should know for exams, labs and homework. He's helpful in labs and gives adequate feedback.

I am not sure why his rating is this high, but he never hold office hour and the TA he hired was beyond horrible. He cares about the student a lot and is a nice guy. His notes are horrible, scattered over the places. Passionate about his teaching and scales well. Hard exam.

An excellent prof, and is pretty fair in terms of marks. The first midterm was hard, but he decided to scale it lower if you do better on the final which was extremely easy.However, marks on labs are unclear.
