Gives homework on topics he did not explain in class. Literally all problems are tricky... Good luck passing his exams.

What a waste of my time. He gave proofs that made no sense. For example proving that derivative of a function exists based on the assumption that the function is differentiable... Very confusing exams. Even good students got low grades. But he thinks he's the most talented prof... Will never take his class again!

A lot of the stuff that he gave is not even needed for next courses... Hyperbolic trig function etc.... But I had to learn about basics of integration on my own since his classes were not very useful for that. He is a smart guy but not a good teacher. Too theoretic.

Tests are nothing compared to what was seen in class. Homework is very tricky. Gives out the correction of homework and tests a month and a half later. Arrives late to class and at the end takes ALWAYS more time. Very unclear in his examples in class. Don't take him.

Actually the worst prof I've ever had. I have him online for COVID. He actually said he was ignoring all student questions/emails that weren't participating in class. He had a lecture outside of scheduled lecture time and had important review for a midterm. He is outrageously rude to his students, and literally ignores you entirely.

as a professor, he is not good. just read the slide.

The course content itself is really not that bad, and he explains concepts fairly well. However, beware of his midterms and exam!! Midterms/exam are extremely long, and are nothing like his practice questions or textbook questions! Barely anyone finished the final... He's really picky on answer details too. Also, he ignores students' emails. GL!

MAT2379 is a very interesting course! The content and the book are very interesting! If you like math you will like it! But!! DO NOT TAKE IT WITH THIS PROF! I think he is one of the worst profs I have ever had! His lecture notes and sample exams practicing are easy and if you study you can solve them easily BUT His actual exams are brutally insane

Didnt hold office hours, class was online and his mic sounded like a walkie talkie on a war plane from the 1800s, his tests were filled with typos and he would email the corrections 1-2 hours after the tests started (who checks their email during an exam?). Just literally the worst professor Ive ever had. I hope he reads this and humbles himself

Worst Prof Ive ever encountered in my entire university career! Has over demanding expectations, rude, adamant, judgemental, non-compromising, unresponsive. Final exam was ridiculously long and difficult. It was impossible to finish in 3 hours. He would not redistribute the weight of the assessments to give the best grade to his students. Avoid!!!

Horrible absolutely horrendous prof. he doesn't have office hours , wont respond to emails, isn't clear about grading criteria, very rude and condescending, the exams are much more difficult,tricky and confusing, he purposely ignores students during the online classes, he gave 37 questions on the final, not MC. WORST PROF EVER!!!!!!!!!!!

Absolute garbage - do NOT take this professor. He has no care for the success of his students. Exams are ridiculously long and do not reflect the material covered in the course, or the practice exams. Rude. Condescending. No idea how to use technology. An absolute waste of time and will ruin your GPA.

By far the worst prof I've ever had. Does not care about his students. The exams did not reflect what was covered in class or on the practice exams and were far too long.

So disappointed with this prof. His exams did not reflect what was taught in class, ignores the students' requests. I consider myself a good student and have never gotten so terrible on a final exam before. Do not take this prof.

Horrible professor and person. Tough grader and his marking scheme is so arbitrary and unclear. His slide and lecture notes are one thing and his exams are completely something else. Questions we were tested on reflected little to none what was taught in the class. Midterms and final exam were super lengthy and heavy the time provided wasn't enough

TBHI don't understand his English accent in class, but he did try his best to explain the same question many times, I appreciated it. BUT!! The exam does not reflect what he taught us in the class at all! Final exam is absolutely heavy and tough, no time and the grade is the lowest I have ever received. I think probably half of the class fail.

This prof is the WORST PROF ever I've taken in UOttawa. His final exam was EXTREMELY BRUTAL as opposite as his lectures . He IGNORED student's messages and NEVER replied student's email. PLEASE AVOID taking his class if you don't wanna have a LOW grade affected to your GPA.

I took his Intro to Biostatistics class over the summer and it was a joke. The first two lectures you could not comprehend what he was saying as he did not have an external microphone attached to his computer. On the exam he didn't provide the data needed for a question so he emailed us half way through with it expecting us to still complete it

BAAAAAD prof AVOID at all cost + unfair

A NE PAS PRENDRE ! Ignore ses élèves s'ils ont trop de questions, puis ne répond jamais aux mails. C'est vrai que le cours doit se suivre et parfois il n'y a pas trop le temps pour les questions, mais il est indispensable que chacun comprenne donc au moins qu'il n'ignore pas les questions via mails ou crée des heures de bureau. Et les examen...

He explains too quickly, he shouts too much, he hesitates a little when he speaks, he does not like being asked questions, whether we have understood his lessons or not he walks in the yard he does not care whether we have understood the lesson or not moreover he always says that he gives the lesson and not a tutoring session! Tough in correction.

Reads slides and doesn't explain important details in a class where detail is very very important. Exams are hard and he says they're similar to stuff we've seen but most of is it different. Doesn't care if we succeed and just wants to get class over with.

Les examuns sont tres durs par raport aux autres professeurs, il se peut que vous reussisiez et entrainez sur tous les quiz et dgd mais vous pourrez quand meme vous foirez aux examuns donc je conseille de ne pas le prendre si vous voulez avoir le + de chance de reussir ce cours qui n'est en realité pas si dur.

Prof Clemonell is the worst prof I've ever had. Avoid no matter what. Taught me Probability and Statistics for Engineers in the summer and his course is a lot harder than the Winter counterpart. Not even going to wait for the term to finish to give him the 1/5 raring he deserves.

Probably one of the worst profs at UOttawa, if it's not the confusion you feel leaving his lectures every day its his sh*tty way of providing material/information about the course. His notes are basically dog sh*t, he does not provide inline feedback for midterms or exams as there is no information whatsoever about how you did except for the grade.

Its never ever too much to describe this guy as an unorganized, illogical, unefficient one. Messy lecture note, and confused questions. He put much efforts on playing words game in his questions but not try to explain the question well. Its a disaster to take his course but I have no choice since he is the only one for this summer term.

Its summer semester (shorter semester than typical Fall and Winter) and he gives us 3 quizzes, 2 assignments and 2 midterm meanwhile the other class in Winter gets 1 midterm and 2 quizzes. Every quiz/midterm/assignment always had a question we never did before. Bad lecturer but good luck looking at notes cuz he uploads them gradually after the lec

Honest worse Math prof, I have ever had, his lecture notes made very little sense, and he would always post them a week or 2 after. He is very unorganized and refuses to use bright space. We spent 95% of the course on probability and then 1.5 lectures on statistics even though the course is Probability and STATISTICS for engineers. Just avoid him.

Dookie prof tbh don't take him if you want to pass the class lmao all these other reviews praising him just got a good grade but I'm telling you he is probably the worst prof to teach mathematics at uOttawa. Material heavy, notes get posted when he feels like it and tests are not similar to the stuff taught in class.

This prof is awful. His lectures are not very good. He always leaves important examples from his lecture slides to the students "to do on your own time". He does not give solutions to any of the extra practice questions because "that is not his job". Avoid him.

U will be regret no way to pass hard as hell

Run. Most hilarious profeossor ever have, very tough exam and you are expected to only use Gamma and Beta Distribution for most questions. If you read the textbook and solve every exercise, you still can't pass, becasue his class content are cover more than the textbook. You will learn nothing from this professor.

Very difficult lectures and exams, I have done the review questions 4 times and still can't make the exam questions smoothly. 95% of the lectures and exams are extremely complex theories and proofs. If you are not good at proofs, please do not take this course.

Assignment have nothing to do with lectures. Exercice done in the class are much easier than what you will get in evaluations

ok so clemonell i joined this guy's class, showed everyone my new hat and he lectured the class about how nobody should off their hats and took 2% of my final grade. this guy sucks, run from this class, i dropped this shite as soon as he made me feel unwanted from this course.

His lectures feel very rushed and incomplete. His lecture notes are unreadable and even if you can read them, they are all over the place and impossible to follow. He often left problems for you to "do on your own time" and didn't post solutions for any of the practice questions he gave us. I ended up teaching myself with YouTube videos. Avoid him.

He is the worst professor I've had during my studies at uO, and he should NOT be a teacher. He doesn't respond to emails, even if it's regarding test accommodations (which is EXTREMELY disrespectful on his part). Also, the midterms are not representative of what we did in class. He's also very rude and condescending. Avoid him at all costs.

For one he's hard to contact and for an online course thats a huge issue. His lectures are atrocious, constant mistakes and his ramblings about something so very specific you'll never see it in the course again. He talked for 30 to 40 mins about something we never were tested on or questioned. You'll have to find external resources to learn. GL

I should drop this course before the deadline.

Avoid him at all costs. His exams are hard and his lectures are all over the place with examples not nearly the same level as the assignments and midterms.

Horrible prof. Class material isn't that bad but he goes through long proofs to explain simple concepts. He doesn't bother replying to emails and sometimes doesn't even put the answers for some exercises when requested, posts assignments late so that you have less time... I could keep going but there's a limit of bad things to say. AVOID

NOT WORTH IT! -Uses UNINTUITIVE SLIDES WITH UNTRACKABLE LECTURE NOTES -He totally SKIPPED statistical correlation & regression TOPICS -DIDN'T USE STATISTICAL TOOLS such as R; which was extensively used in the english section -Exams are harder than questions seen in class -Often condescending to students when criticized or suggested QoL changes

The lectures had no real flow to them and also had a lot of errors in the slides regarding equations. After lowering the difficulty in the 2nd midterm, due to the 1st midterm. The difficulty was then even more exaggerated in the final and felt as if the professor was trying to fail us with a lot of concepts we haven't seen anywhere before.

exams were brutal, nothing like we saw in class. If you see his name, run.

This prof is a textbook example of what a bad prof looks like. His lectures are spent doing very simple stats problems and barely explaining the course. Then he proceeds to give you the hardest midterms, finals and assignments imaginable. Including stuff he never taught, or stuff he said would not be on the exams.
