Bad 1st impression , then becomes really COOL

AMAZING teacher!!!!

Midterm completely unreasonable, but good lectures. Has clear favourites in the class. Funny guy but sometimes it's at your expense.

He forces people to put a lot of effort into their programming. But you become very good at the language. I wish I had him for C++. Very picky marker. He does pick on people, you must pay attention in class or he will pick on you and he is funny.

This guy is EVIL. His job is to put Visual Basic into your brain and he does it well. He uses capital letters on everything computer related, but he does yell all the time in real life, so it's all right, I guess. Take him for this class!

Really Good Teacher, knows the material well. You should defenitely take a class with him.

He doesn't seem to have a lot of time to help students... but I did extremely well and really thought he would be tough at first, but he turned out to be really funny! He does tend to pick on people and centre them out though.....

He is a good teacher. I learned a lot in his class and you can always ask him questions. He seens arrogant but he is not he is very nice

He was the best teacher I ever had. He takes time to solve almost every problem from the book. His class is very interactive, you should read your material before going to class. You do not need to read the book, just do not miss any class.

He was the best teacher I ever had. As long as you keep up to date you are ok.

Good man that has a unique sense of humour. He picks on people to help them learn. Very old-school in his methods (and they are effective).

although he's a comp. sci proff, he taught my eng. class (as a sub) for half the semester. he employs a different tactic than other proffs: interaction. He would pick on everyone in the class (sometimes in a rude way), but that made us alert&on our feet!!

Just an amzing teacher, obvisouly very different teaching methods but very active and alive. I like the fact that he puts the people that have no clue about the material on the board to make them think and understand the concepts.

He is the best math teacher I ever had. He takes extra time to solve all problems from the book. She might seen arrogant but he is not. If you are taken his class keep up with the material, do not miss any class and you will find the final very easy.

best teacher at concordia, f.y.i he likes to interact alot with the class, enjoys suddly humor and incorporates it into his teachings, simply marvelous!

He is very smart, knows his stuff. He is not shy to express his opinions. Study hard, do your homework and you will be rewarded at the end. I got B+ with him.

awesome teacher, i wish he was teaching 209 this term. he is very involved and an excellent communicator and motivator

the best teacher in the world, funny, smart, the greatest mathematician since Aristotle. verrrrry funnny even attending the class is like watching a stand up comedy, butt u have to work really hard to achieve good grades otherwise u will end up below the average. he doesn't have office hours his office hours are after class

I'd really like to do, is put the greatness of this man in perspective. I think that there 's only 3 names...Dr. Albert Schweitzer, ah, Mother Teresa of Calcutta, probably, and ... Carlo Santana.

i cant even say or compare if he is the best teacher at concordia or in the world. i wish if teaches other courses i really enjoy his classes

HE IS A REALLY NICE AND A GOOD TEACHER MAY GOD BLESS HIM

He's a very smart teacher but as others said, he kind of just yells and insults students, he doesn't explain in detail in my opinion, I dropped him cause I found his notes useless and am better off doing the course online. I would take him if you have no other good choices, you might like him.

A real teacher. Get a sense of humour you guys! I didn't see him insult anyone. He involves you but if you don't want to answer, he is totally fine with that. He makes a huge amount of course material very clear in very little time. A great no-nonsense math teacher with a good sense of humour and a big heart. Highly recommended.

Go to his lectures, do some Matlab as it is required for the assignments. Does not go by the book but will give you handwritten copies in class. Picks people to answer questions during lectures... very good teacher if you're expecting to learn the contents of this course.

He is very good professor. His explanation is clear.Take him!!!

This guy is hilarious!!! He taught everything so well and so clearly!! Did so many problems in class, really helpful! Got 110% on the midterm studying the day before and im not even that good at math. Very generous with bonus marks. ATTEND CLASS, that is the best piece of advice. His sense of humour is one of the best, hilarious and an awsome prof

amazing amazing amazing. TAKE HIM! If you want to get 100% on the final, get the booklet of finals from the copy center in the library. Its practically the same thing! Make sure you have the answers and do all the questions! Easy A+ if you do it. Otherwise, study your notes from class and easy B- (granted you actually study)

Mediocre teacher but has a great teaching style: presents theory and then spends 2x as much time doing exercises. It feels like a tutorial most of the time. The downside is that he regurgitates all his notes and answers to questions are lackluster. Very fast in assignment and test corrections; tests are assignment-level difficulty. Also hilarious.

Think about students, patient to explain the difficult questions, lots of example. timely feedback for assg & exam, even for final exam, he will give the questions and answer after exam.

The only thing in his class is doing exercise.Am I the only one who really like his "sense of humor"?

Hilarious guy, dry humour is amazing, teaches clearly and efficiently and provides with good past exams! great teacher

One of the BEST math teachers I've ever had, does examples all class which is what really helps alot. He has a weird sense of humor but is very approachable. I recommend

Happy lectures, fair assignments and exams, expect to get a good mark with him.

BEST calculus teacher!!!! I recomend him anytime. You have to go to lectures and work on your problems and you are guaranteed to get an A with him. His classes are not boring. He knows how to engage his students and get their respect all by using AWESOME sarcasm and jokes :) absolutely LOVED my class even tough I hated math before him!

Great professor overall! Honestly if you go to lecture, take proper notes, ask questions, do the assignments you'll be fine. He gives you a lot of examples to really reinforce the theory. Great pace overall, truly cares about his students, even offered an extra lecture so not to rush through. Exams might be a bit long but very fair just like he is.

Great Teacher!!! Helpful, approachable, humorous and humble, i was never bored in his class, gives a huge number of examples as hard as his long Exams. attend and take notes but solve extra problems and you will be fine

good teach, dosent really insult anyone just involves people more, he yells to wake everyone up, or to put emphasis on a problem, his notes are good but sometimes 2 much like the book (mathematical notation) do the problems on your time and you will be fine.

Really good teacher, likes to teach, always keeps the class alive, makes a lot of jokes. Does a bunch of examples and often extends the class to do extra problems. I definitely recommend this teacher.

A good teacher, a cool sense of humor, key to the point, very helpful in this course

So much fun showing up to his classes. He's interesting and keeps his students interested in the subject. Strongly advised!

Fantastic teacher! Would take him again and again. Does tons of examples and makes YOU find the answers first. His class is not for the lazy, but if you participate you will have a clear knowledge of the subject and get great marks. Great sense of humor and very entertaining too!

He explains the material really well. Basically, he will first present the theories which doesn't take a long time and for the rest of the lecture, he will do a plenty of examples for you to understand. Do the midterms and finals samples and you will be good to go.

Good teacher since the theory is taught through the repetition of examples and exercises.

Hes very helpfull and very nice teacher! He helps students a lot and do a lot of exercises in class, not just theory! I find the class easy because he explains well and makes everything clear!

He is such a responsible and warm hearted professor that i have never seen before. Every time i see him he is helping students solving their problems . In addition , u can always feel a relaxing atmosphere in his class since he is very easy going and humous . Last but not least , he will find lots of same problems to make us more familiar with test

Santana is a great teacher in terms of Mathematics. I took MATH 209 w/ him and the Romanelli at the same time. Although overall the atmosphere in Romanelli's class is certainly better, however this guy is the one knows what his doing and holds the perfect pace for student to learn. Plenty of examples in classes which was what you need for math.

He cares about the students and tries to get everyone involved. My friends took this course with other professors and it was supposedly very easy. With Santana? NO. The assignments are insane, the mid-term is similar to the assignments, and the final is ridiculous. If you care about your GPA, avoid. If you want a challenge then go ahead.

Nice teacher who know what he's talking about just listen and do a few exercices at home and you'll be good. Always asks if the pace is okay and is ready to explain over and over if you didn't understand.

Great teacher, funny and crazy at the same time. He explains well and knows what he's talking about. He likes to get everyone involve so be ready to answer his questions!

I'll Have to be completely honest, as much as i dislike this teacher for giving me such a bad grade(i feel that i am strong at math and landed a B+). I cannot deny the fact that he is a really good teacher. If you want to actually learn something, then i recommend him strongly!

He is indeed a real gem. At first you might find him cold and distant but trust me he is SO kind and generous!!! Would definitely take him again!!!!

My favorite Concordia teacher so far. Super clear, concise, doesn't waist time with unrelenting things and makes sure everyone in class understands. He is also surprisingly funny and cracks hilarious jokes here and there.

The best math professor I have ever had. Lectures are clear, using lots of examples in class. He is really teaching.
