I have to say, I was worried taking this course when I read the reviews, but after all, it was one of the best courses ice ever had. He is very clear and cares about students, of course, if you are not working at all in the course he seems to be not helpful, but he is if you listen and practice. Not a tough grader and very hilarious in lectures.

I gotta say it is a great course! The projects were extremely helpful, I manage to secure a job during the pandemic at an adtech! Amazing prof, and what he teaches are very much adaptable to the real world!

Norman is really great. don't look at the terrible reviews, he's really clear with his grading, there is a good amount of work to do for the course but there's nothing horribly long and he generally is very lenient. I got an okay mark in his class by just submitting all of the small pre-lecture and breakout assignments!

Norman is an awesome prof! His lectures are engaging and he marks stuff fairly. As long as you participate in the lectures, pay attention and do all the weekly assignments, you will do great!

Comment:
Norman is the worst professor in the entire retail department at ryerson. He's rude, inconsiderate and is extremely un-accommodative. Not only does he pick on students in class, if someone passes or doesn't answer he will mark them as absent and not give them a grade for their quiz (even if they answered through the polls). DO NOT TAKE HIM.

Does not want his students to succeed. Very annoying as an online professor. Extremely monotone, not funny, makes odd comments. Loves to ask multiple choice questions that have no right answer. Has too many assignments and quizzes worth 1%. Professor Shaw, this is University course, not College.

You can literally learn the whole course by yourself, this guy teaching is entirely optional- except he demands you attend lectures for "quizzes". Ironic that someone who teaches you about IT can be so easily replaced by a PDF file.

This guy is truthfully the worst prof Ive ever had in ryerson HISTORY. Norman just starts yelling at his students asking them to answer questions out of the blue. Occasionally, he will aggressively single you out and make fun of you in class. His slides are full of nothing.

He made me hate my program. I constantly had to clarify and email him for specifications about projects and assignments as he was not only vague about it during class but was extremely rude about it as well. Always yelling, calling people out and assigning group work when it isn't necessary.

Norman's a great prof who is engaging, funny and will always any questions you may have. He only grades 5/10 class activities and labs so technically you could miss 5/10 classes and still do well in the course. I would recommend going to class since his PPTs lack information and the class is enjoyable.

Professor Shaw is one of the best prof at Ryerson, for my experience. His lecture are easy to follow. I really enjoyed having him as a teacher. If you show him that you work seriously and care, you will be rewarded. I learned so much from his course.

Norman was easily one of my favourite professors. He is very clear about what he wants and makes his classes easy for students. He relies heavily on participation and will do a lot of in class assignments and clicker activities, which is great because it boosts your mark a lot. It's easy to get 100 on assignments if you follow all the criteria.

Dr. Shaw was a great choice for this class. He asks the class questions and will pick people out to answer. Pay attention and participate to get a good mark. He is very friendly and respects the students that show up to the lab more than the ones that do not. Highly recommend.

Breaks down courses into smaller sections (i.e. 10% here, 20% there) to help boost marks. 2nd time with prof, noticed going to class is good because he relies on clicker marks and in class assignments. Gives sample questions for exam/midterm outline to help study for midterm/exam and the sample questions then turn up on the evaluation. A good prof

Norman is one of the most tech-savy, realistic and fun prof in HTM! :D he teaches hospitality information systems very passionately. No textbook is required and his lectures are very interesting and realistic. The best part is he gives questions for the midterm and final beforehand so if you practice them you're sure to get an A!

He is a good professor overall. This is a very interesting course all about SEO and PPC. There is no textbook all information is researched by the student. 30% of the course is discussion boards and you can not pass without them. He graded the assignments very easily and the final was fair. I recommend this class, it is very valuable in the future.

Norman likes to pick on people who he knows is not paying attention or do not know the answer, will not let you pass! British accent gets annoying after a while and gets super fired up at the class if you leave. doesn't give you a break... your break is doing an in class activity.

Comment:
One of the worst profs I've ever had. He's nice to some degree, but half the time seems to pick on people endlessly. I had my phone out on my desk, with the screen on like every other student in the class, and he called me out and said I will be asked to leave class and get deducted 1 mark off of my final mark. This was during group discussions.
