short time for ass'n...no extension...

he is SUX and lazy.... give me a very hard time in U.

Horrible professor. Poor teaching qualities.

Professor is a NICE guy but the course material being taught by him is not very clearly understand.

Did not provide us enough questions to prepare us for the midterm and assignments haven't been marked yet since two months ago. Finally told us the appropriate textbook to use the week before final exam.

Lectures were very unclear and instead of explaining concepts he would instead explain problems, making the concepts hard to understand. After doing research on the internet I found that there were rules and subjects he failed to teach or even mention.

The course does not follow what is shown in course Syllabus. Pancer continuously broke promises in the course. The course prereq. should really be CSCA48. I wouldn't recommend taking the course before taking CSCA48. In general I wouldn't recommend you take the course at all.

Does not cover the material, does not reply to emails, does not provide corrections, doesn't even give you your assignment grades. His assignment questions are so far removed from what he does teach that they are impossible without independent learning.

I've taken 3 courses with Pancer and I'm getting tired of it. He teaches like you already have a degree in computer science and he seems to have favourite subjects he likes to spend all lecture talking about but he'll gloss over the other important concepts - then test you on it. In short - smart guy, bad prof.

Worst instructed course ever. It's Jan 2nd & I have not received a mark on assignments/exercises since Nov 4th. Final exam was brutal since the material to study was limited & he never explained concepts in class just think of other examples when doing problems. The instruction and organization of course was a joke. sucks cuz material is interestin

How does he manage to do everything late where we don't even get half our assignments back for the final exam, and manage to screw everyone over in the final. Maybe it's different in later years, but I went to him during office hours and he either didn't know what he was talking about or didn't care enough to answer my questions.

He doesn't even pretend to care.

He is a good lecturer, I find the lecture really helpful. But he doesn't care! Regardless of how good he is, if I don't get any of my grades back, that is useless, because how am I supposed to know if I learned the correct thing or not? All my other courses' final grades are out, for his course, I didn't even get my first assignment back.

Pancer skipped two months of lecture, posted some unreadable notes then expect you to finish mid terms and an assignment.

He literally skipped the first 2 months of class and is now trying to pack 3 months of lecture content, 3 assignments, a midterm and a final all within the span of 5 weeks. He doesn't even care about his students, no office hours what so ever, and even the TAs are kinda lost. How is this guy still a prof?

Terrible - dismissive during OH and doesn't care about learning. Lecture material is trivial and boring, assignments are of a much higher difficulty. Most of the class is enrolled because they're forced to - the SG equivalent has a 60% drop rate as it isn't required for SG CS or Stats, and this class would be even higher if it wasn't required

My main issue with him is how he treats students. As a girl, he terrified me, he was so dismissive and unsupportive, even when asked questions in a respectful manner. Additionally, his marking is absurdly harsh. Either fully correct or fully wrong, even for 10 mark questions. For both homework and assignments and exams.

Lecture material is nothing like what is being asked in assignments and exams. Additionally, there are no practice questions and tutorials after the midterm only cover the assignment solutions, not the material being covered. Lastly, lecture notes and tutorial notes are not recorded or posted anywheres.

Sitting through his lectures was the biggest chore of my week - the lectures bore me to tears and I have to put all my might into paying attention. He provides no accommodation if you miss a lecture - they are not recorded and he doesn't post notes even though he takes them in class.

Absolute worst prof at the university. Lectures are extremely unclear. Just keeps talking and never explains the important stuff. Extremely hard to follow through. Zero online resources or OH provided so it's impossible to learn on you own. Doesn't fully listen to questions in OH. Avoid if possible at all costs.

No materials posted, harsh grading, bad teaching style. Avoid if possible.

harsh grading. avoid.

What can I say, MAN

Must go to OH to know what he wants, or risk getting 0. Never ask what you did wrong, he will chew you out and say you should lose more marks. Inconsistent grading, same answers get anywhere from 40% to 100% based on TA. Provides no practice material for exam. AVOID AT ALL COSTS, take CSC336 instead, transfer to UTSG to avoid needing this class.

The GOATED prof! It is always exciting to take his 3-hour lectures every week! And he will provide all kinds of materials such as lecture notes, tutorial notes, and every year's past midterm and exam to students! Grading Scheme is very very generous!

No materials, bad grading

no lecture notes, no past exams, no practice, no recording, attendance matters
