Comment:
You will fail if you take this prof's courses. Stay away from ELEC and COMP ENG. They both suck and will keep you unemployed for a long time after graduation. Even McDonalds wont hire you when you dont have a job after graduating from Comp Eng because they would think you are too over qualified and will leave them. Stay away from ECE at Queens.

Comment:
Assigns multi-week projects requiring subsequent weeks work to be perfect and refuses to provide solutions, thus screwing any chance of completion after week 2. Reluctant to answer questions, quick to criticize (often and unreservedly) but few of his criticisms are ever helpful. More concerned about his own proprietary interests than teaching.

Comment:
yoo man this guy says you must get 55% or better on the final exam of APSC 142 in order for the project mark to count for full, what the hell is this man, not everyone is going into electrical or computer engineering? Why do you need to be so hard on 1st Year engineers. Those of us going into mechanical or civil wont ever look at programming again

Dr. Simmons is the man. He is the most thorough individual you ever met.. His course manual is one of the best-written pieces of educational material I've ever used. And he does everything to help his students learn. An outstanding professor.

His notes were well done and the course was organized, but he felt like he just didn't care since we were a first year class. Also, no one counld understand why he taught additions to C programming. We were a novice class, reivew would have been more helpful.

Comment:
Captain Kingston all the way. BSc, MASc and Phd all from Queen's and was born and raised in Kingston too. Don't like the guy much cause he was too lazy to write me references. His courses are easy but only cause he's lazy. Look at his list of publications and you will see what I mean. Try googling his name. Nothing.

He supervised the QBot project. Very time-consuming, but a good project anyway. His notes are good and he seemed very committed to the project. He even wrote a simulator program to help us.

if it was upto him i would have gotten kicked out of engineering years ago. that jerk. still he teaches really well and his exams are uncreative so you just have to memorise how to solve all his other past exams to get full marks. still, he's a jerk.
