A total control and organization freak but loses it quickly enough when students overwhelm him with questions off the book that he obviously couldn't answer because he is a bookworm and not a practical streetwise guy. Repeats himself many times over, boring lessons, no sense of humour, strange person, very reserved, not a student's teacher. Most students go talk to other teachers during social events and no one will go speak to him, not approachable. Distances himself from us, he thinks he's up there and us students down here. Had strange policies regarding passing every tests in order to pass the course. Inconsistent with absolute datelines, some late students receive marks despite the zero late tolerance. Can be helpful but keeps saying the same thing like there's nothing else to say.

A word for word book nut. Can't afford a smile, why so serious? Never heard a joke from him. He must have had a challenging educational background to treat himself so seriously. Memorizes things, sometimes forgetting. Knows little outside of textbook. Not practical at all. Teaches the same thing over and over again because he knows nothing else. He needs to proof-read his exam, too many omissions and mistakes. Terrible teacher.

Agreed 100% with everyone. He cared nothing about students. Only interested in seeing some fails and some passes so that statistically he appears to look like he has an average class. I've never seen him talking to any students. Worse still is we don't see students approaching him to discuss any issue. A loner with an inferiority complex. I asked him several times for explanations and all he could do was asked me to check my textbook for answers. Hopeless man. Completely unreliable and it baffles us how he was elected to be the coordinator. We are moving on elsewhere.

He once mentioned he was trained to be an architect. It's hard to believe that. Unlike designers, this guy dressed like a shepperd. Rambles to himself on certain topics he likes best. Knows little on anything else. When asked to show what he's designed before he gave up architecture to become a teacher he said that was a long time ago. What?? Aren't you proud of anything? Or maybe he never was good at it. He isn't good at being a teacher either. He's got a strange marking scheme or criteria. Lots of quizzes but same questions appear again in later tests and exams. Porbably ran out of question. Sometimes you have the same question in the same exam or you have two equally correct answers for the same MC question. Wish he could just proofread first. Keeps to himself mostly. Didn't learn from him.

Worst teacher ever. Thank goodness he's moved on to a college. A friend told me she had him for architecture at Centennial. The College must be nuts to hire him. He couldn't handle grade school and he's doing college? She said a group of students gathered 80% of total class signature to petition to get rid of him. The letter was not submitted because students were afraid of repercussions. He's a quiet type and they say that barking dogs never bite. So I guess the reverse must be true. Its a shame that students have to put up with him. I mean what can he offer students? Just his usual repertoire of rehearsed muttering to himself repeatedly. She also said that some students failed the course even though they have 80% total for the course because he's got a strange policy that you have to pass every test to pass the course. Now that's a 'wow' factor.
