Seriously great professor. He's new to Ryerson, which you can tell, but not because he's an newbie. Instead it's because he has a different teaching style than the rest that is highly effective. Assignments keep students up to date on the retail industry, while forcing us to think critically about what is happening. No exams, multiple assignments.

He wakes up the class if its in the morning with some of the best and newest music videos. Course content is easy and all you gotta do is read the book.
