Comment:
This prof has a lot of bad things going for him. Late to class, very late to return the midterm. Sloppy lecture notes, and acts foolish in class. But he is a half decent lecturer. I managed to learn a lot about an interesting subject. Work hard on the labs, they'll pull your grade up.

It amazes me how York continues to employ a man who is incompetent, lazy (hands out your mid-term mark AFTER the drop date), unhelpful, perpetually late (20mins, EVERY lecture). He does not have the capacity to teach. The TA marks all the assignments including your final due to Mandelbaums incompetance. Mandlebaum, please retire NOW.

Comment:
He doesn't know the topic very well. In his lectures, he makes mistakes and students solve them.Thats it. I guess, you can learn more by reading the books. At the beginnig of the semester, there were lots of students.However, after 4-5 lectures, it was only 7-8 students. He is so confused. don't take his class

This professor has no clue of what he is teaching. He has bad teaching style, he reads from the slides. His midterms are confusing (mostly repeated from previous years, dont take his course if you dont have previous papers). His final is very hard, you dont know what to expect. Unfair, ****! He delays in giving out marks, will make you go insane

Useless. You may as well not even go to the lectures and just read the book. I can learn more from 15 minutes of reading the book than 3 hrs of lecture.

Asking questions gets you confused because he does not makes things clear. Doesn't get to the point. Does not give enough time on the tests and exams. Makes them too long. Overall test/exam complexity is fair.
