Comment:
This is a very good teacher, but for succeed this course you have to study, attend all lectures and take a lot of notes. The course is not easy. He took 2 midterms covering the whole coursepack and 3 papers. I am non-English native and I got an B+ but I had work my a$$ off to get it, mostly because I am not good at all in writing papers.

If you attend class, do the readings and ask questions if you're not clear - then this class is a breeze. This teacher will NOT spell it our for you, just use your head. Thats the way University is, duh!

Comment:
Very good prof. Interesting lectures, lots of insight. He has alot of experience working as an urban planner. I don't know why everyone is so keen on sticking to the outline here, because I think its great how the prof is flexible and willing to research what the class has interest in.

Comment:
Different approach to teaching.His classes are all about guessing what he expoects in assignment.Pay attention to hints he expects in assignment cuz he provides no instructions on paper.Must see him in his office for more hints.Fair overall,if you give an honest effort he will provide a fair chance for success.For advising hes kinda condescending

Comment:
Same as a previous comment, beware the midterm!! Read the articles and know the concepts! He does expect a lot (especially in terms of research methodology). Also, he is great at answering your emails, makes himself available to help you and offers additional guidance only if he likes you. Good luck!

This guy is a fruit! Pointless lectures in regards to the course outlines! you have to see him in person to get some guidance for assingments however, he is rarely available or you have to arrange an apointment! Very high on himself! Some students feel akward approaching him!he is also a hard grader! BEWARE he expects alot from his students!!!

Good guy thats always willing to help, but the lectures are a little irrelevant (to the work, not real-life) and hard to follow. Beware the midterm.

Lectures totally unrelated to course work, but very interesting. Readings not necessary at all. Handed in two copies of same assignment, got an A and a C. I still don't understand. Should not be chair of department!

Comment:
screws around with the diploma requirements, wasting many peoples time and money. the difference is he gets paid to waste time, we pay for it. i don't know what to think of him. But he is also somewhat condescending to certain students.

found lectures pretty interesting, though they were literally completely useful to get good marks, being as how all the marks were derived from handing in projects, which were field trip assignments and not related to what he taught.
