Best math prof I've met. Great teaching style, gotta love his webpage
What a goon...he hated us, we hated him...he didn't teach us a major topic...
the dislike was mutual.
Had a attitude problem; recited book word for word.
Terrible prof. Borring!
You general math students are just bitter that you didn't get into Honours!
Love the course online and web page.
funny guy
A rarity: likes his job, great effort, very helpful, approachable, website! A-
Structured,organized,clear to even the most clueless.Refreshingly understandable
He's a good teacher, better than most.
Excellent prof, actually has a good sense of humour, provides useful examples

Who'd have thunk it? Calculus really can be fun.
A good prof. I like his sense of humour and the website!
Nice Webpage, but sometimes not really clear on details..Proof? Learn by urs
Not Bad~
Very passionate towards his teaching, and of great help!
He is not willing to help and unclear on the concepts of the course.
He makes the course interesting. He is also very helpful
It was a tough course. But he made it interesting
This man is halarious and is a real good prof.
Funny and effective. His web page is a very useful resource.
Taught the course flawlessly, he cant do basic math but that isnt nessecary
don't miss ne of his classes boyzz and sit in the front
tells really terrible jokes. he's not funny so much so that it made me hate him.
Very good prof. Very nice/helpful website. Recommended
He does a very good job, very clear notes. Helps alot with assignments.
Perfect web ressource/course notes. He's a very funny guy. Course is very interesting. Very clear on his proofs. Always there when you need help. Overall, He is one of the best profs I've ever had.
Unclear on fundamental concepts. Fumbles a lot. All lecture notes online, so why go to class?
I enjoyed his course a lot. He has very clear and detailed notes. Was always approachable for help on the assignments
Excellent prof... very down-to-earth and very helpful. Always prepared for lectures.
Amazing prof! Great notes, great lectures! Very approachable for help! But I failed the course!
Sloppy (i.e. error-prone) online notes that can't be printed from anything but Windows, slow-moving lectures that spend way too much time on elementary topics.

Great professor. Maintains all lecture notes on his website. Very helpful and down to earth. One of the best !
Andre is a good guy, I just wish i went to more classes.... at least his webnotes are pretty useful. Hard class, pretty good prof.
Very helpful prof. Answers all questions very clearly, and puts his course notes on the web. Assignment's are a bit long... but other than that he's great!
I had him for both pmath 340 & math 135. Great job in both classes. Every aspect of his teaching is very refined, superb!
An EXCELLENT prof. He's funny, and has extremely clear and precise lectures and notes. One of the best profs I've had.
Excellent prof teaching perhaps not the most entertaining course. Has a superb math website; definately goes above and beyond call of duty. Maybe explains things too many times but I can bare with that.
His lecture and online note are very helpful, but taught too fast in the class, hard to follow
All in all, good job. Boring class... but he's a funny guy. Web notes do help.
every lecture cover many new materials, hard to follow, long assignment every week, although he provides online notes, 6-9 pages per lecture in last few week, over 150 defn and thm to memorize in the final... he is a good prof if u can follow what he said
Phenomenal professor. Excellent lectures, excellent webnotes, excellent assignments. He gives you all the tools you need to succeed.
Andre is the man. The guy applies math big crap-load of stuff. "If you haven't been here before, then this is your first time here. Proof..." All in all, he's an awesome prof. Add him to your ICQ, his UIN is on his website.
He's probably the reason I understood his course. Very thorough, took very hard and boring material and added a bit of fun and quirkiness to make it easier to swallow and understand. His web-page was more useful than the textbook or the official site.
The courses he teaches are boring, but he has some good jokes to throw into the mix.
Excellent prof. Excellent and organized web notes. Sit close as he cannot be heard at the back.
He's a great guy, seems to genuinely care about the students. Very clear and easy to follow, sometimes goes to slowly though. He's great to talk to as well.
Excellent prof, found his class easy to understand, explains concepts clearly, and answers questions well. Makes hilarious jokes, great class.
good work fred... he kinda looks like fred penner... don't ya think?
hes reaaly cool
Compared to Oldford, Andre is clear - you can easily "differentiate" his concepts. Quite useful - you can't *substitute* another teacher for him. Teaches lessons BY PARTS; beware of your TA's though - they can turn your marks into partial fracti
Nice guy, very approachable, friendly and understanding. Lectures are good but hard to hear sometimes.
Excellent website to go along with the course. Sometimes the explanations in the lectures were a bit unclear.
His sense of humour takes a bit of time to get used to but he's a good lecturer. Words cannot describe how great his webnotes are.
Great prof, clear explanation and 1 of the best algeo teacher.
Awesome teacher. He has good webnotes. He explains everything very well and the lectures are interesting.

Exellent proffesor, has a great sense of humour, and the webnotes are a the best of any of my classes.
such a good prof!! and hilarious! lectures are really informative and webnotes are awesome!
He really knows his stuff and teaches it well...every lecture is in his lecture notes excluding examples. Midterm and final were rough but fair. Look out for the random corny jokes
Great teacher, great website with course notes, can't recommend him enough.
he's an awesome prof who makes it actually fun to sit through a calc lecture. Very helpful, great webpage, nice and funny.
He teaches calc really well, it's a good balance.
good prof.. he knws how to teach...webnotes are awesome
Taught algebra well. Got a 99 in the course.
Easy to understand and respects students
It is very evident that he likes teaching. Classes were fun, and there was always a joke to laugh at.
He's a good prof. I can't really complain, but the course was a huge joke. I won't take it again... A real analysis course without integration?!
Great prof, makes lectures interesting. All lectures were made very clear and understandable. His online lecture notes are also very well organized and easy to understand.
Online notes were helpful, but be careful: they have errors in them. Often the assignments will have errors in them, and his notes given in class will have errors in them. Other than that, he is straight-forward, midterms, finals and assignments are fair. Real Analysis seems to be terribly boring, though.
AWESOME W00T
I have no idea what these ppl are saying below me but this guys lectures are soo boring that u'd wanna throw something at him or something
Awesome prof, he's a really funny guy without trying to be. Didn't like the course, but enjoyed going to class.
Hilarious prof. He knew his stuff, but yes he did make some mistakes. This textbook was a waste of my time, but his online notes were fantastic - slightly lengthy, but useful. Do not miss a single class as they are all connected - way more than any course i've ever taken. If you understand the theory in this course, inside and out, you'll be fine.
Given his material for linalg, I guess it wasn't too bad. To be honest, the textbook we used (lin alg and applications by mcgraw hill ryerson) was completely useless. BUT I never went to his lectures. His notes are better read than listened to. When I went for help, he was helpful. However without weekly tutorial problem sets I would have failed.
Hes the course coordinator so that says a lot already. His online notes are amazing, you really actually dont need to attend/pay attention to his classes if you understand the online notes. the weekly labs are challenging, but the midterm & final were not bad. kinda soft-spoken, but he has a good sense of humour.
cool professor, he's the most humourous one in my 1st year
He is a very good prof and I enjoy his class. He's funny and he can easily make the whole class relaxed.
Wouldn't call him the best, but he wasn't terrible either. He was a funny guy, and he was fun. But his writing was sometimes difficult to read, especially from the back. In the first half of the course he was awesome, and it was always hard to find a seat. In the second half, he was very confusing, and nothing made much sense; the class emptied.
Funny interesting prof i enjoyed having, however i do not people who were not too happy with him
This guy is hilarious! He keeps his lectures easy to understand (like seriously, teaches it at a kindergarden level) so you learn the material fast. Hes just awesome, I cant even describe how awesome he is. Fair wanring though, his tests are by no means easy :P
probably the best prof you can ask for. makes his lectures so easy to follow, his jokes are the best, and he's always willing to help. go to class, do the homework and ask for help and you will do well. Now excuse me while I go eat a sandwich....
His notes are extremely organized. He's a funny guy too. Make sure you actually go through the class examples, because they cover what's asked in the labs. Also, do the recommended exercises and make sure you understand HIS notes. After all, he's the course coordinator. :o
Amazing prof. Opening the textbook before the semester started had me afraid of how boring/hard the class would be, but he made the course shockingly interesting and relevant. The midterm was fair, the assignments were challenging. An organized, and absolutely inspiring educator. One of the teacher's that makes you proud of your school.
He gives good intuitive outlines of proofs before rigourously doing it. This course is all proofs. A pretty straightforward class.
Easily one of the best applied math profs I've had. Outlines concepts and proofs in a clear, easy-to-follow manner. Felt spoiled by the fact he compiled a full list of definitions and theorems as the course progressed. Provided a outline of what questions would be on the final. Almost entirely stuck to that.... Amazing!
Good man
