Comment:
His lectures are based off of his textbook, however I learned only from listening to him teach as reading his notes/textbook alone can be very confusing. If you don't attend/watch the lectures, you wont pass. He is a very generous and fair marker. George is a very slow speaker, so having a 2x speed option in online lectures was a huge time saver.

Comment:
Very tough and strict prof. People are failing his class. He teaches different content for 2001 compared to the other profs content. His lectures are so confusing and the content he teaches is confusing so i only pickup about half of the stuff he teaches. Had a very bad and regretful experience with this prof.

2001 is already pretty hard and this professor doesnt help at all. He teaches from his own textbook in his own way so you cant find any resources online to help and he does a terrible job of explaining things. Hes also extremely rude, avoid at ALL costs.

He really is one of the best profs I've ever had. Really wise and really knows the material he's covering. My recommendation is follow his lectures and whatever you don't understand just refer to the textbook. He gives plenty of time to complete assignments. His tests are fair - way simpler than assignments and time is more than enough!

Anyone here who rated this man a 5 is lying to your face. Any students who receive a grade higher than B+ in any of his classes are A+ average students. EECS 2001 feels like I'm having a fever dream and nightmare but worse. The course material is hard in and of itself and all he does is read off his slides. He is rude and completely unbothered.

Comment:
Easily the worst Professor I've ever had at York. The textbook is written by himself and while he may have immense knowledge on the subject, his teaching style is horrible. His lectures consist of him reading notes copied straight from his textbook and his inability to explain himself in Layman's terms forces you to learn the course for yourself.

Comment:
Cannot deny the fact that he has immense knowledge in his field but for some reason he is extremely rude. The fact that he has written a few books and has spent decades in this field could be the reason for his gigantic ego. very unprofessional, rude, irritating and egoistic. In my opinion hes good but a very unpleasant personality

George Tourlakis is a great professor. He doesnt follow any textbook and provides his own typed notes. His lectures might not be informative but his notes is all you need as it is informative and the way he talks about such an abstract concept is absolutely amazing. His tests may look scary but if you do his exercises you will be good to go

He was the worst thing that has happened in my 19 years on this earth. He ruined me mentally, physically, and emotionally. I achieved my A with my own blood, sweat, and tears. He did not teach me one single thing (I only attended the first day of the lecture), his midterms were pointless, his recorded lessons were non-existent during COVID. TY

Worst professor I've ever had at York. He could not care less about you, he'd rather be anywhere but class. This guy decided to hold no lecture at all when classes went online, and just decided to use the same jargon filled class notes as a "faithful representation" of what would be taught in class. If you're reading this, save yourself the misery.

It is a challenge to always catching Professor Tourlakis up in class but still his lectures are enjoyable. His textbook are helpful if you can spend some time to getting used to his style. And also tests are closely related to the lecture material and similar to assignments. Professor Tourlakis responses to emails very fast.
