It's hard to comment him with only one single word. 1. He is an actor, like Kim Carry. His teaching method is unique; 2. His class is vivid; 3. He is not easy-going and bad-tempered; 3. He is a HARD marker, if you want a high mark, keep far away from him.

While a tough marker (if you do the work, you'll get at least a C-, but you're unlikely to get over B+), he is the one professor at Seneca who is a PROFESSOR and not a glorified HSteacher. Choose him if you want to LEARN and be treated like a college MAN.

He's either the best teacher ever or the worst teacher ever depending on your requirements of a teacher. He definitely knows his stuff and presents it in a interesting way. However, if you're horrible in english, you'll struggle--struggle yet grow rapidly if you're determined. He will not fail you if you show him you're a dedicated student.

Not a good prof. Must do it his way or it's wrong. Not a fair marker. Marks at University level. If you're smart, good writer and can figure out exactly what he wants, you might get B+. He's one of those profs who never gives out A's. This class was the only mark below an 'A' that I received at Seneca. Take something or someone else.

One of the most qualified professor, just ethics involved in forcing students to buy his expensive book knowing he was retiring. That he knew the book can't be resold, used for only 3 readings half semester, and with the 3 stories copied/ available in a library book seems to be insensitive to students' financial situation. Enjoy your retirement.
