Do not take his class
Uncomfortable environment for sharing various views. If you disagree with the professor you are singled out. Conservative view points not welcome in the classroom.
Completely unhinged and probably dangerous. Avoid.
WORST PROFESSOR OUT THERE. DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASSES. he does not know how to teach. An absolute bumbling buffoon.
Believes every one except him are scum of the earth. Will kiss ass where necessary.
Cruel sort of professor. Clearly doesn't understand the material, but your grade will be the one hurt by it. Take literally anyone else.
Nazi
Worst prof in the history of peoplekind. Avoid like the plague!
Whiny and annoying
Unable to take even the slightest criticism or adhere to his own rules or standards.
Scumbag
Horrible human being. Avoid at all cost!
Useless prof. Has no grasp over his own subject material. Based on the errors he'd make when reading aloud, I'm not even sure he's literate. Smells terrible, you need to give him a wide berth if you don't want his stench stuck in your nostrils. On top of that, he states that he will torpedo your grade if you publicly disagree with him in class.
Avoid
Avoid at all cost
Zero SEC championships. Obviously spends too much time in the classroom and not enough in a weight room. Waterbed is heavily financed and he has to wait for a table at Beef O'Brady's.
He has a very problematic view of society
Financed his water bed through peach tree
Not enough SEC titles
He is vicious and rude. just check his twitter account
I wanted a class not unhinged political ranting
Stopped class to tell us his pronouns. Lord/Maple/Leaf. Kind of irrelevant but ok.
Lord Maple Leaf is a total clown and definitely financed his waterbed.
Lord maple leaf
Lord Maple Leaf should be avoided at all costs. He rants endlessly about the interest rate he got on his financed waterbed. Also has zero SEC championships.
A waterbed financier who found out who his father was on June 19, 2022. The number of engaging lessons is equivalent to the number of SouthEastern Conference (SEC) Lord ML has- Zero
Terrible
The only thing Lord Maple Leaf taught me was how to get a financed water bed repoed. He also denied Ben Franklin as being the greatest US president ever and the inventor of freedom.
Professor Unhinged he/him/bicyclist criticized me for being behind the counter at McDonalds when I was 13 (it was my first job.) I then reminded him he has zero SEC championships
This professor is one of the most unprofessional educators that I have experienced thus far in my life. His browsing history is embarrassing for the University of Ottawa, and all his students see the various adultery sites that he visits in his off-hours. There is no excuse for having a desktop folder named "Iranian Fart P*rn", on his laptop.
Never lettered in s h I t . Wanted to be called lord maple leaf. Forced us to wear 3 masks to save Canada. Couldn't find Pigeon Forge on the map. Got us kick out of Beef O Brady's. Do not recommend.
The fact that he has never experienced a single SEC championship should disbar him from being a professor anywhere in the world including including the home of the greatest president Franklin
I no longer attend the University of Ottawa due to his online hate speech and derogatory statements towards unvaccinated Canadians. The University of Ottawa refuses to take action against Amir Attaran, so I will be protesting with my Liberal friends on Canada Day to warn parents and future students what the University of Ottawa stands for.
This "professor" refuses to acknowledge that Canada is, in fact, the 51st state. And people pay him to teach. What a disgrace.
Attacks fast food workers. Calls women names. Calls any one with a differing opinion names. See a pattern? Also zero SEC awards. uOttawa becoming a community college pretty quick here. Fire this entitled egotist. Vote with your tuition, attend a different University.
POS commie.
Choose a different Professor.
Complete t*rd
The professor claimed his anal bleaching was the result of the Stuxnet worm however I have it on good authority it is due to zero SEC championship rings.
Prof Attaran doesn't want you to think for yourself. He encourages consensus with his own views, and is incredibly rude to those who have to work to pay for their education. We can't all be wealthy professors.
He's not a very pleasant human being.
Complete and utter POS.
He's a jerk.
Award for the most unintelligent person on the planet has to go to Amir. Hard to even call Amir a person when he possesses no human qualities. Honestly the best comparison of Amir is to that of a rock in my garden. Except the rock is maybe a bit smarter and more useful to the world than Amir.
Had him for an online class in the summer that recently finished, and boy, this man forced us to watch the Johnny Depp trial for HOURS. He kept getting increasingly upset at Mr. Depp, and went on a tirade about how Amber is innocent, AND would not stop talking about her feet. Like wtf. Also his desktop has literal porn on it....
This prof, AKA "Mr. Maple Leaf", AKA "Prof Poutine" is the worst of the worst. On-line hate speech is his thing. He's into public shaming airline employees without remorse. Never lettered in s * i t! And never will. Avoid. Do not recommend this Angry Canandian. Go USA!
I think this teachers style is very poor. I learned nothing new, and had to resort to shady tactics to pass. Worst teacher in my history of teaching
This professor has no intelligence whatsoever. He has zero SEC championships in his career and got owned by Three Year Letterman. How does someone finance a waterbed and get it REPOSSESSED???? Truly idiotic and braindead moves. Also, he goes on hate-fueled tirades in class on how the unvaccinated deserve to be put in prison
Insisted on being addressed as Lord Maple Leaf. He also constantly complained about the finance rate on his waterbed.
Lord Maple Leaf is a tool
Complete douche.
Twitter famous for being Lord Maple Leaf
He's a disgrace
Most inappropriate man I have ever met.
Embarrassment to ottawa
Read his twitter and you will understand.
Professed Maple Leaf doesn't know his history at all
Complete POS, to be avoided at all cost.
Just an overall nasty man. Always looking down on us and very rude if you had an honest question or didn't quite understand something he was explaining. Not to mention he seems very angry for no reason.
Biggest narcissist I've dealt with so far here. He likes talking while looking at his reflection. When he tries to argue a point, it's mostly vapid and quite painful to listen to. How the hell did he get this postition?
Terrible human being. Would never take another class. He is rude and judgemental.
You should take his class so that he can afford to get his waterbed back. #LordMapleLeaf
Amir doesnt know basic Canadian civics. He thinks that Canada, a country that America beat during the Revolutionary War, is somehow independent from Britain. Canada is a British province under control of the Queen.
Constantly mentioned he was a Canadian Lord.
Total psycho
has a god-complex; loves to hear himself speak, constantly. extremely rude and bigoted.
Great professor. Truly compassionate man and does great job in preparing students for real world. Yes some think he is an arrogant liberal elitist, but we need more people like him if we are to build a better world.
Shitty prof
Lord Maple Leaf doesn't even know that America is the oldest and greatest country and literally invented freedom. He hasn't even won a single SEC Championship.
Lord maple leaf is a bum who has 0 sec championships and found a way to make both sides of American politics agree that he sucks
Look at his twitter feed
This professor tended to talk politics way too much. Was very critical of the United States. Did not stay on topic. Overall, an easy teacher but liberal ideology was a turn off.
Spent too much time taking pictures of females to use in his Twitter feed. Called our parents if we spoke out in class or didn't do everything he said right away, like he was tattling on us. Would not stop telling us how he missed out on a promotion because of his race. When asked if perhaps it was ability, he blocked the students from class.
Guys career should be done now.
Look up his Twitter feed, all you need to know about that person.
Awful. Stay far away from this prof.
Worst experience
Completely oblivious to any other opinion. Very xenophobic against anyone but maple sucking curling fans.
Scum
Terrible person.
Should lose his job over belittling people online. He says on his twitter acc that the less fortunate should flip his burgers and nothing else. Scourge of a human being.
The absolute worst. Should have been fired long ago.
Completely unhinged
This guy is a monster. He thinks he's the smartest man alive.
Smart dude but insisted we call him Lord Maple Leaf. Spent hours lecturing us about the evils of the USA after his waterbed was repossessed.
He should be cancelled
Before class began he would make us refer to his pronouns as Lord/MapleLeaf which we all agreed to, but once class got under was ALL Lord did was complain about his outrageous (24.75%) APR on his 30-year financed waterbed that already had leaks. Would not take any more of his classes. Also would creepily suck on ketchup popsicles all class and cry.
Would not take this professor because if you don't agree with him on his subtle points of views and biases you instantly pigeon holed and left to fend for yourself.
Mean and nasty. Puts students down. Not a human being.
Horribly hard Prof. Rude hateful
Woke and crazy.
This guy stinks
I took Amir's course several years back and was practically forced to drop it after numerous instances, both in class and 1-on-1 office time. Amir is extremely biased, if you do NOT agree with him, YOU ARE WRONG. PERIOD. He uses vulgar language and strong tones to feel empowered, especially over women. Please avoid at all costs!!!!
Completely arrogant guy
Disgusting
awful
Beware. Visit his Twitter page to understand what kind of human being he is before you consider enrolling for his class.
terrible professor
Worst professor I have ever had.
This professor uses his own beliefs and makes sure you know them. I would look stuff up and not even the left media sources said the outrageous stuff he did. Extremely horrible with very serious ideas towards individuals, especially straight white men. Personal opinion was not allowed and if you disagreed or proved him wrong it would not go well.
Awful teacher
No good at being a human being. He berates anyone who does not share his ideology,which is pure nonsense, and felt threatened many times. He is very unkempt. I'm glad I will never deal with him again.
Lord Maple Leaf aka Manitoba Man aka Late White North
he had to refinance his water bed
He is a great professor if you study hard. Only lazy students rate him low.
Why would this guy need a waterbed? You'd figure he'd sleep hanging upside down in the cellar.
Took him for a law class. Very easy class, and I did receive an A+. However, I wouldn't take a class with him again. I recently found out he financed his waterbed and never lettered in anything. I think I'll stick to taking law classes with Cousin Brad, who got a 131 on the LSAT.
Very Trump-like - very boastful about his education - only his opinions matter and he berates anyone who disagrees. Complete lack of professionalism as evidenced by his churlish behavior online - just like Trump. Two sides of the same rusted coin.
This man is a Marxist
Needs to leave politics at the door, im here for an education not your beliefs
Promote bad thinking for communauty
Not sure how this person is a professor at uOttawa. Their hiring standards must be really low. In any case, my recommendation is to avoid his class at all cost.
Shameful behavior.
His social skills are low. All the time we had to listen his own minds not connected to the subject.
Bigoted, free speech absolutionist even for hate speech
Likes to hear his own voice and does not encourage debate.
Typical tankie
Extreme bias, and overconfidence in his personal opinions
Showed 40 mins late to a one on one meeting, didn't apologize. Proceed to brag about his academic credentials. Proposed a research study subject he was personally vested in and agreed to pay for said RA. Then said no funding was available. Did not engage further. Unethical!
