Prior to his class I had no interest in tourism. Took it because it was mandatory for another class I was in. But I found his quirky personality and fun, engaging approach to teaching the subject, I slowly became interest in what I was learning. He is an amazing teacher and has inspired me to do more with my life. Keep teaching Noal,You're awesome!

Noel is great, funny,skillful, and handsome. I enjoyed having a class with him. He gives you hints for Midterm and Final exams which really help. His class is pretty straight forward and if you work for the course, you'll get good mark. Don't bother to buy the expensive textbook. everything comes from the course materials on Moodle.

Noel's a funny and engaging professor. He really loves what he teaches and he does well with making material more interesting. He doesnt stick to the book entirely and likes to use current events to supplement textbook definitions and concepts. I would recommend Noel to anyone wishing to take a relatively easy class where you'll actually learn

Great prof! Really easy to get along with. Took an 8:30 class with him so usually there's only like 10 of us in class. Classes are basically a back and forth conversation with him. He relates the course material to real life experiences. Clear guidelines for assignments. He gives practice questions for exams. Will take classes with him again!

Noel is a lovely man with awesome experience. This class is content heavy for sure. You definitely need the textbook.

Your grades are not so much based on a criteria. Noel is supportive and not at the same time. Noel would agree to call to help then wouldn't show up (multiple times). There's not much room for creativity if you want good grades. Good students are grouped with lazy ones and expected to carry the team. I avoid Noel's class at all costs.

Noel, I know you give yourself fake positive reviews. People can literally look up the dates that these fake positive reviews have been posted. honestly, this is just sad. whatever you do, don't pick courses with this guy.

Had to comment on the dude that posted the poor review of Noel. He was in my team project and he was awful. He was taking 4 classes, working full time and put no effort into the Team Project. Prof N had to scold him numerous times because he was a slacker. I would never be in a team with this dude again.

Saw the review below from the bitter student. Noel is an amazing lecturer and I am in BADM 204 now. He gives tons of grade examples and is very fair. I am also an International Student!
