Comment:
I took his class as a first year course and I loved it. Yes the lectures were a bit boring and sometimes confusing but he's welcoming for all questions! All of his assignments, test etc. are not weighted huge amounts so it's easy to get a good mark in his class if you work hard. He was also my TA and I found him to be very pleasant!

Boring Lectures. Does not elaborate too much in tutorials. YOU must ask all the questions. Very disorganized. Horrible. Would not recommend it.

Comment:
THIS IS THE WORST COURSE AND PROFFESOR AT YORK. IF YOU HAVE HIM ON YOUR SCHEDULE, DROP THE COURSE. HE WILL JUST RAMBLE ABOUT USELESS THINGS, AND HIS EXAM IS SO DIFFICULT. HE SAID HE WASNT GOING TO ASK FOR ANYTHING SPECIFIC, BUT EVERYTHING NEEDED TO BE SPECIFIC AND DETAILED.

Comment:
one of the best professors at i have had. the course can be a little redundant and boring but he explains all the concepts effectively. if you ask him a question, he will give you an answer that actually helps you understand, not confuse you even more. such a simple guy. lovely to have him as a tutorial leader as well. fair evaluator as well.

Comment:
worst professor at York! Hasn't updated the course material in 20 years. Who the hell watches Buffy the Vampire Slayer? Knows nothing about popular culture even though he claims expertise. He probably wrote the ratings which say he "pulls no tricks" since no student talks like that.

HORRIBLE TEACHER - Day of my presentation my 13 year old brother was rushed to the ICU at sick kids hospital - when I told him I had to leave he goes to me in front of my whole tutorial classroom "good excuse"...Who says that???? A prof who doesn't care about his students!

Comment:
Completely arrogant and hotheaded. If you don't agree with him watch out. Likes to make students feel incompetent and is not afraid to say "he is the expert". Readings are useless. As long as you agree with him and regurgitate his powerpoint slides when being tested you'll do fine!

THE LAST RATER SAID IT 100% PERFECTLY "Very pompous and arrogant. Believes he is smarter and above the students. Extremely boring lectures! Even when the subject matter was interesting he just rambled on in a monotone voice. I was very lucky to have a great TA.

I really enjoyed this class. It was straightforward and he pulled no tricks. If you listen in class it is easy to get an A. He is a very understanding prof. Everyone should take this class.

Boring, repetitive, almost monotone. 2nd term books almost useless. 2nd term more interesting than 1st term. Besides being dull, he's straightforward, and tests are worth a lot, but are pretty easy. Pay attention and stay awake, you'll be fine.
