Very tough grader and gives a new group on every assignment. This makes things very tough as we have to try to connect with the new people every time and often they are unresponsive.

Comment:
The work load is always ridiculous, and makes far too many assumptions on what majority of the students can do, or and should know how to do. Most of which they dont. Once spent 2 weeks trying explain how to submit the assignment NOT EVEN DO.

Comment:
Multiple choice shouldn't be the basis of 70% of the course! It's an ethics course! All class discussion and group work is based on how to argue what we've learned, and then we don't get to apply it for the exams.... He's easy to talk to and ask questions of though.

Lectures are decently boring, but the assignments were pretty simple. Quizzes all had multiple attempts and the answers were taken straight from the book.

Take this prof and you'll never stop chuckling about how he bobs his head as he talks. Seriously though, he's pretty boring to listen to.

Comment:
He is a good professor and he is also funny. He would sometimes get off topic and start chatting with the students. The course largely consisted of group projects which were done during the classes so no actual teaching. Overall a good professor but the course was also very easy so can't say how he would do in a tougher course.

Comment:
Had Ed for CS2760. There he was boring but I took him again here anyway. For this course, the grading is brutal, and on 2 assignments he's told most of the class they "don't get the point", whereas really, after going to EVERY class and reading the assignment description, I still "didn't get it". Poor explanations. Course concepts not clear. Avoid.

Comment:
Loves to give a ton of work that teaches you absolutely nothing. Doesn't do a good job of explaining what he wants. Lectures are a complete waste of time, i'd recommend not going to them. Fortunately the course is very easy. You'll probably get at least a B if you hand in anything at all.

Very nice guy and wants you to do well. However his assignments are so unclear! Have no idea what he wanted half the time. The computer science help guys were just as confused as me.

This guy loves to give you work. Even when you have a project and an assignment in the works he gives you a quiz on top of it! The course (Ethics) is complete and utterly useless, and the books that you have to buy (2 for closet to $200) you barely even use.

Comment:
He's a good guy, does prepare for his classes somewhat. He just PILES on the work though. Only 3 classes this semester where something WASN'T due. He also passes stuff back late, if at all. Even if another assignment is based on a previous one, his reponse is "assume you did it right". Twice I had to redo stuff....

Ed is a good person, and easy to communicate with. However assignment requirements were unclear and since this course was a new course (and required for new students) it may need retooling. I would take a course with him again.

Comment:
Tough course no matter who teaches it.(from what I have heard) I believe is trying his best to prep us for outside. Problem lies in the fact with CS program at MUN (lacking in certain essential areas). He does speak english and has compassion at times. I would do another course with him if I had to.

Extremely lazy! Any course with him will equal the workload of two courses. His laziness will result in YOUR confusion and frustration. I do not recommend any course with this prof but if you have no choice, do yourself a favor and lighten your course load.

He goes through course material very fast. His assignments are huge and not worth very much. The marking scheme is very poor for this course. At least he can speak English!
