He gives students hints during exams! He gives out grades very liberally! But, he doesn't give students any practice questions, no useful textbook, and is unreachable (doesn't believe in computers). If you want easy grades, take this guy. If you want to learn something, AVOID HIM AND TAKE SAMPSON!

The teacher isn't particularly a tough grader but you need to be very meticulous. For our midterm, the average was 57. Marks went down FAST because of small details namely little miscalculations. He is very straightforward. In other words, if you do not reach out for help, you will have a hard time excelling in this course.

If you have already taken CAL in cegep, go ahead and take him, you'll be happy. However, if you are like me, and are taking CAL for the first time in UNI, I would avoid. He simply lectures way to fast. Fills up the chalkboard with problems 15 minutes before class, rushes to explain, and gets irritated when students ask questions.
