He is an easy marker.. but his classes are soo boring...
BORING! Lectures are all on power point presentations which are online so there's no point in attending. Never read the text & am getting a strong B+/A-. Make sure your papers are very grammatically correct or you lose 3 marks each error!
Great! Nice guy. Always gives Bonus marks. Cares a lot about his students
No Comments
The only reason this class becomes hard is because you dont understand what the hell he is saying! On top of that he reads directly from his notes and it takes him forever BORING! and a waste of money. Frankly I dont think he gives a crap, in a nice way&#
An average teacher. He likes his job, hes polite and informative. Lectures are verrrrrrrrrry boring. Notes and powerpoint presentations all on his website Your allowed to miss 30% of classes, I suggest you do.
Most boring guy in the ****ing world
Boring, unclear, doesn't know the stuff himself. Hates it when people point out his mistakes. gives lots of bonus marks because he is a hard marker. tests are fair. Not recommended
You cant rag on him because he is boring! The information itself is very dry. He knows his stuff and is good at teaching it (It really is boring stuff though). He is a very fair marker. His tests are hard though, lots of memorizing. But he makes up for easy assignments. Eugene is a good guy!
i dont know y everyone is being so negative if u havent noticed the class itself(material)is boring, the tests are easy unless you dont know how to read. theres no way this class could be interesting obviously none of u have taken any other business course theyre ALL boring. easy class nice teacher.
His tone of voice is very much like a hypnotist's pendulum with stereo modulation. And it adds up that the 'comments' are only extensions of the notes. Occasionally makes interesting comments on the current business events.
Ok Let Me Say - He is a Joke - its like assignments - things we never taken - " oh other instructures does it - remember staf - 10 easy marks" you ask a questiom - he say " oh you should no this " - " can you repeat your question" - exams - "hard" class average is low. Should fix it .not recommende
Everyone who says that he is a great teacher is eather full of it, or they are already a math wiz! He is rude... I'm sorry but I paid for him to teach me and all I get when I have a question is "YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS ALREADY" or "DON'T WORRY, YOU'LL GET IT LATER". wow, that is so helpful...NOT.
Assignments are extremely easy. Tests require quite a bit of memorization but overall, I feel that he is a fair and easy marker. He is boring though.
I had this professor for CISY 110, a very easy teacher for this course but when it came to math, I'm sorry to say, but unless you understand math, then I wouldn't recommend this teacher.He's really nice but he doesn't explain the material throughly, and he's confusing, doesn't like to repeat himself
One of the worse teachers ever! nice guy but cannot teach worth 2 cents ....ok 1 cent.
ahhh what can i say lol.... i feel bad for the guy his classes are soo boring that practically no one shows up. if you need a GPA booster deffinately take management essentials with him, i didn't even read a single chapter, he gives notes for each chapter and exam questions before hand, but apparently never take business math with this guy
he is a nice guy but he tends to talk too much and his lectures are pretty boring
He makes a lot of mistakes and argues with you when you try to correct him. Very frustrating.
he is very confusing, sometimes students have to correct him.he seems like he doesnt understand math himself.although his assignments are straight forward and he gives a whole week to do them, his test are pretty hard though unless you are already a math genius. i noticed that he picks up his favourates students and if you are not ,well do the math
Hey! Quit jumping all over Eugene! He is a good guy! He is not good at teaching math, thats becuase hes not a math teacher. So dont take it with him. He is really good with Managment essentials! He is always helpful, his tests are a little hard, but easy assignments and project.
Very personable and helpful, takes time to ensure you learn the subject. tough tests but prepares you well.
hes a very nice teacher. his tests are somwhat easy cuz he bascially tells you what to study. written part of tests are easy, but multiple choice is hard. easy class, but extremely boring lectures.
his lectures are VERY boring...he marks assignments very easily marked so when it comes to an exam you think you know your material but you end up doing poorly...written sections of test he tells u what the questions are practically..but MC is difficult..doesnt help u much at all.
He's a nice guy. That has nothing to do with his abilities as a professor. His class wasn't too hard because he gave 3 assignments worth 5% of your grade, so it wasn't hard to get 15% right there. Then, the tests were simple. If you read the chapters beforehand (MC) and memorized the exact things he told you to (Short Answer), 100% no problem.

Easy class and a hot teacher, it doesn't get any better!
Easy class. The management concepts were mostly common sense, the text could be cut in 1/2. Teacher covers the material but there's no interactivity or thinking involved in concepts, comes down to rote memorization, in one ear, down on paper for the test, then you might remember something later.
Very interesting with real life business examples. Know subject matter well
he is not a gd teacher..
i THINK that Eugene would really like his students to pass his class, but he needs to understand that we're not all mathmeticians and we would benefit from a step by step example
Learn to speak english and actually communicate with your students.
Very good teacher. I took BUS1330 with Laurel Donaldson and hated it/dropped it. Now taking FINC1231 with Eugene and sooooo much better. Much clearer and easier to understand. Great guy.
The best teacher you will encounter. if you need math, it is a very good idea to take his course. Actually he is the best teacher i have had.
Perfect! Perfect! Perfect! he is perfect
Eugene is awesome, somtimes hard to follow in math and if you have been out of school for awhile best to brush up on algebra before entering the class.. but he gives alot of examples and his tests are easy if you put time and effort into studying. highly recommend him!, i have also been told he is awesome for busn 1210.. wish i could take him agai
He is the best math teacher. Extremely helpful. Will be happy to solve questions, and explain even 10 times untill you get it. A fair marker and easy with assignments. I highly recommend him for any math course.
he is a very nice teacher, he is perfect, he doesn't deserve too teach students ... like me:( he gave me more than I deserved.
Fabulous professor. Extremely helpful & always available for exra help. The course is difficult & requires lots of effort. Eugene goes the extra distance to ensure you succeed.
Easy class to get other homework done in. He lectures from PPoint slides provided online and gives you what you need to review for both midterms and the final. Had to really push to get clarification/rewording on assignments, which was unnecessary work and a bit annoying. Like I said- if you can self-teach yourself you can do other HW in this class
He is annoying in the way that he makes it mandatory to come to class. He makes you sign an attendance sheet every day right at the beginning of class. I forgot that I'm not in high school. Hello! It's college! Also he gets aggressive if you don't understand something in class. He appears to not have much patients.
Eugene makes his exams really easy by including tons of bonus questions on all of them, making it very easy to get 115% on most of them. Can be a bit quick going through his lectures but if you need a deeper explanation he'll take the time to go over it more. Great professor!
SO BORING. B/c he knows you dont need him as an instructor and all you really need is to read the book, he makes you sign in for attnce. He appears to be really nice until you ask him for a favor like I did. The man wouldnt let me do my final exam one day early (due to medical reasons) b/c its too much work for him. Told me to come in bandaged up.
GOOD TEACHER... I had Him for the Last Half of the semester because because our previous teacher got sick (E. Carter). All i got to say is TAKE HIM FOR BUSN 1210. If i ever had a choice i would definitely PICK HIM AGAIN :D
The best teacher at Douglas ! Major GPA booster. Take as many classes with him as you can. For his exams he gives you the questions and You can just remember the answers. Its sooooo easy !!!
Great teacher! He makes boring material interesting. His lectures ARE from pp slides available online. As long as you pay attention and spend time on your assignments (especially with grammar and spelling)(READ the assignment description carefully) you will do fine. He provides study questions for all exams and marks fairly.
He is willing to help those that want to learn. You have to spend lots of hours working the text book if you expect to pass.
Browing! Exam was hard! He give you question for exam, but you should find answer by yourself and not help correct. Almost every one just has 50 in exam. And he don't want to change this." he say I give you question, you should know how to do it! If not , is you lazy!" I study until 2 'o clock before exam! Crazy teacher!
Eugene is a great teacher. Each class had a Powerpoint. That part was kind of boring. However, attendance is a big portion of your grade. Also, he gives you the short-answer questions to all of his exams. He chooses a handful for the tests, so you just need to memorize the best you can. Also, there is a group project and a group paper.
The worse instructor ever. Never ask questions before his answer shamed you in front of the whole class. Arrogant. The lessons are rush and helpless. Average 50 for exams and will blam on the students who are sitting at the back.
Not very helpful. His tests are extremely hard but the assignments are easy. His lectures are boring and not engaging what so ever. Avoid him at all costs!
he gives bouns mark after evey quzi.... so easy to pass
Very boring
If you take this class with him you better memorize all the terms from the textbook. His slides are directly from the book and he takes marks off for wording. Quizzes are tough, first one we had was on the first 100 pages and he picked a random thing. No one passed the quizzes. Big group assignment with no explanation. Didn't learn anything.
Eugene is a good teacher. He explains everything thoroughly and helps when you ask questions. He asks in every class if his students need help. He gives a bonus quiz after every test to earn some bonus points. Attending class is mandatory because if u get over a certain number of skips you are not aloud to write the tests.
Once he took out his wallet and made it rain. He's a boss, but a hard Teacher
He rushes way too much in lectures and you sit there confused half the time especially if math is not your strongest ability. Sometimes when you ask him help during his lecture, he sorta freaks out and again rushes to re-explain it. Gives quizzes after each test for bonus marks. Attendance is very important. Wouldn't take his class again.
I believe that he is very helpful. Take his class if you excel at self-studying or if you have strong aptitude towards math as the topic itself can be confusing, not the teacher. If you have really strong math and finance foundations, this class will be a breeze. If not... you'll need to talk to him for help! Pay attention at his midterm reviews!
Eugene is one of the best professors I had. He is easy going and if you really care about your grade, and show him, he will help you
Very nice person, his subject was a bit difficult and required some efforts.
The beginning of the year "review" was mostly new material that we did not know yet he expected us to know. Says "ask me questions if you're lost" but gets mad when someone asks a question. Solves problems on the board with little to no explanation.
The lectures are long and boring. The assignments are vague and very toughly graded. Skip the prof if u can!!
Hi everyone! I really don't know why any students write negative comments. I honestly advise you to take all classes with Eugene Dy. Hi absolutely helpful for the students. I took two his classes. Just keep attendance in the class and you will be Ok.
Eugene is a gem of a professor and highly supportive. He wants all his students to perform well and tries his best efforts to make you successful. This was my third course with him and he's made my douglas journey flauless. Highly recommended.
NEVER TAKE HIS COURSES. In finance he is awful. Just straight up awful. In business management he lectures the whole class. Gave review questions for the test. But need to know everything for the exam. I would never take his classes again.
nice funny teacher, lectures are kinda boring but u dont need to go to everyclass cuz he post his slides. easy marker, and gives midterm/final review questions out so if u do those ull get an A
i would take him again because I would know what to expect. I have mixed feelings about him and the way he teaches. sometimes he's good and sometimes hes not good. so flip a coin
I don't even know why I took his class, it isn't even transferrable. But, you're teaching yourself a class that you're paying for. You're better off learning straight from the textbook and he makes mistakes a quarter of the time he's teaching If you have the option, get a better prof to save yourself from wasting 3 months. :)
Having Eugene as a prof is as close to having no prof at all. He reads word for word from the slides(which are posted on blackboard). When you ask him a question he will try to make you feel bad for not knowing the answer, I suspect this is because he too does not know the answer. That being said, his tests are fairly easy if you read the textbook
You must pay attention to his lecture. All, the answer of the exams he will touch in class.
Be ready to do a lot of exercises and study by yourself. It is ten times better you study by yourself than ask him.
He is tough grader never understand your problem
Eugene is a very good teacher. He incorporates his life experience or stories into course material to make things easy to understand. Quizzes and exams are easy as long as you spend time to read and understand the textbook as well as memorize the review questions. The only complaint probably is too much memorization involved in his exams.
Lecture would be like blaah blaah blaah blaah. and BOOM it ends. So mundane and boring. No interaction with students. I like all other classes but his is like i can't remember anything after class ends.
Lectures long and boring, his grading is confusing (he gives out some grading criteria and you follow it but then he says something else), memorizing was a pain but helps for the term tests and final. He also grades grammar and spelling so get ready to feel like you're back in grammar school.
Attendance is mandatory. But no pressure. Easy to pass the course. He is a good and caring not very strict. Only one group project throughout the entire course. Review questions are really helpful for the exams. To be honest lectures are boring.
Defensive teaching style. Insulted a student early on for a mistake HE made, then would argue with anyone that questioned him. Made for a very difficult learning environment. That being said, if you follow his study guides and are confident in your math skills you'll be more than fine. He gives extra credit questions on all his exams.
Says that participation is graded but barely opens room for student talk, lectures are him talking the whole class. Classes are all about the slides. He asked for FITT book but I did not use it did not need. If you are not able to memorize, wont pass. His Exams are all about definitions and items listed on the slides. 3 indiv papers and 1 group OK
Worst Professor!
He reminds of a professor like we used to have in elementary school who will design exams on just definitions and will give good grades only if we write the same book language. Exams are a bit lengthy and if you can't memorize the book language, getting grades is hard. Assignment workload is okay. All the best if you are going to choose him.
only reads off his powerpoint does not answer questions properly
The worst professor I ever had. His lectures are extremely boring consisting of him just reading off slides. He gets mad and starts talking aggressively if you make a mistake. He needs to learn how to teach and help his students. If you have the option avoid him at all cost unless you wanna mentally struggle.
Hell nah my guy, definitely would no recommend. No patience and his lectures are boring af. He could put you to sleep and tuck you in with his monotone voice. Unless you like boring profs, dont choose this prof.
Probably the worst professor I've ever had. This is the first time I've ever written a review so you know he must be terrible. He's so boring just reads off the powerpoint and has a huge ego. If you ask him a question and you don't understand he yells at you as well. I really advise you to not take him, if you are thinking about it...
You might not pass the subject if you take his class. Very difficult and lengthy midterm tests.
Lectures are based on reading slides. Mostly talking and not showing steps of the math. He gives out midterm/final practices with answers, but, sometimes his answers are wrong (therefore, students are confused). He often starts class unprepared and in result he wasted students time by preparing his class. (usually 10-20 mins in lectures).
Eugene Dy was a teacher who taught us many useful thing in the outside wolrd involving Maths. I say it is hard to understand him at times as they may go too fast with the lecture.
All he cares about is his home country the Philippines, and bases every project around it. He is TERRIBLE, wants your webcams on most of the time. He goes 5 minutes OVER the 3 hour classes, and his exams are difficult. DO NOT TAKE HIM, if he is the only instructor for a class you need, plan ahead and take it a different semester. He can't teach.
if you wanna learn I recommend skipping class cuz ur probably gonna waste time and worn learn anything, instead just go home and practice textbook materials which is way better. His lectures are also awful, the way he writes on the board is so bad and u cant read them. Hey Eugene if ur reading this, fk u, respectfully
If you can, don't take his classes. If you have no other option, then be prepared to study on your own. He only reads his slides and gets mad when you can't understand. Just study on your own and keep practising his review questions. If you're still not doing well, better drop the course for your GPA's sake. Main advise: AVOID HIM AT ALL COST!
Worst teacher in Douglas college. Worst teaching, no patience, rude, for a practical subject he just sits and reads the slide and is very fast. When I had asked about my final marks and how to calculate, he said he can fail me if I continue asking about my grade. I had to retake it and with another instructor I scored 85%.
There's no discussion with others at all! His lectures are of just him speaking for 3 hours straight. Exams are super lengthy (30MCQs, 20T/F, 15+ SA) He expects you to write everything exactly the same from the slides so be prepared to memorize! Doesn't uses online platforms so it's really hard to keep up with the deadline or even know your grades.
Awfull absolutely awful idont know why Douglas college still has him around so not take this professor hes self obsessed and does not care about you takes random tests anytime will try his best to fail you
Decent lectures, gives lots of examples and tries to engage students in class, but gives 0 part marks. You can do the whole question and get 0/8 if a decimal is off. Same as someone who left it blank, then gets mad when you ask why no part marks. Any other prof would give 7/8 for those, not him. If you arent good naturally good at math, dont take.
I want to tell all the students, not to take this professor. If you are taking, you definitely gonna regret. This professor don't know anything and only say i have 20 years experience. And whenever any student asks him something related course, he always humiliate him or her and ask to meet him at his office. He cram all the midterm preparation.
shouts at students, gets angry if u ask him questions, treats students as kids in high school elevating his ego with "you should be thankful to have a prof like him cuz i could easily teach at ubc if I wanted" + his words every class: "u will not pass my course"; lectures are useless, boring, half of the class just leave after the break
Lectures can be dry, but the review questions help prep for exams. Attendance is mandatory, but not overly strict. Consider using Unstuckstudy alongside the textbook to stay on top of the material.
