Comment:
Worst prof ever!!! He just talks about random stuff on lecture instead of teaching the real stuff. No class notes. Complete waste of students' time. In academic world, he knows nothing deep other than the big pictures. He is famous because he socials well. In order to do well in his classes, you have to be either a pretty girl or a good ass-kisser.

Comment:
He's very known for an article on recursive distribution, but it's actually a rewriting of works from a French mathematician. Panjer never went publicly about this.

Comment:
He is a great + nice prof. He doesn't put a lot of examples in class, but his lectures help you to understand the course materials, which is especially good for 232. His tests are fair. Exam is really long (out of 100 marks with 13 Q). It is also a bit hard. However, he does bell our marks up. He is great!!!

Comment:
I'm sure he knows his stuff very well but he just can't teach it. I've been to every single lecture and I have to say it was somewhat pointless. We had 3 term tests and 2 had nealy failing avg. Exam was pretty tough, not many ppl actually finished. HOWEVER, Panjer does bell curve, which is good news.

Very very nice guy. It's not that he doestn' want to help but when he does try, he's just too smart. But he was always around when you needed him. Very friendly too. You just have to really go to his class.

Nice guy, I would say genius, but NOT A TEACHER. Classes almost useless for assignments and midterms. Doesn't teach how to solve the problems, gives very few examples. I would prefer Mary Hardy with her hard exams, but very good teaching skills...

He thinks everything is easy. He gives course 3 questions for assignments. Tests are simply not do-able. Never available for help. Don't take the course with him!
