Very clear explanations most of the time, occasionally some topics are explained to a lesser degree. Always available during office hours unless someone else is there. Very helpful, shows you the logic behind the code and expects you to try it on your own. If that fails then he walks you through the code. One of the best at waterloo.

Great teacher with lots of enthusiasm. I love all the unique suits he wears to class. Sometimes his lectures get too technical, so I stopped going to lectures after midterms. However, he has really good course notes that he wrote himself. They're condensed and very easy to follow along if the lecs get too confusing.
