Comment:
I'm an A+ student and barely passed this class. He changed the weighting of our midterm to be worth more after the class average was 51%. Marking was 50M/50F. His slides focus on content that isn't tested and convolute the content you need to know. The only reason I passed is because he posted previous exams. He is unsympathetic and a harsh marker.

Comment:
A good teacher. Is good at explaining concepts, and is very knowledgeable. Good at answering questions, too (knows what the student is asking). His slides are pretty bad, though. Full of equations and derivations, making it hard to know what's important. He does too many derivations in general.

He doesn't have respect for the students. He is a selfish human being.

Comment:
He makes polymers so interesting, I didn't do well in organic chemistry before and I wasn't too keen on polymers before taking his class. He keeps every lecture interesting by starting off with some interesting news or application question. I've developed a much better intuition of chemistry in this course than I have in all 3 years of undergrad.

Comment:
He's a quirky prof. He goes over the material too quickly and sometimes his powerpoint slides don't have the answers for the examples (usually the concept questions) in the notes so be careful of that. You get used to the accent. He uses onomatopoeia a lot when he lectures, especially when he's trying to tell a joke/be funny.

Comment:
Extremely disorganized which makes learning this course a pain. That's not to say its difficult to get a decent mark as his tests are reasonable. He lays out material so poorly in his slidesets that learning it is timeconsuming. If he were more concise and ditched his crappy slide shows he would be much better.

Comment:
Pretty entertaining, gave the class the finger once by accident while trying to explain something. Tests were fair as long as you put in the effort to learn the equations and how to use them. Tutorials were basically a road map for the assignments. And he's a nice guy.
