kick ass guy, loves his job and makes our lives a lot easier

Bill Gates is around the corner with a lawsuit in hand...

cool guy just like a freind

This guy enjoys what he does way too much! Its almost scary!

horendously long and hard assignments- TRIES to be helpful but is condesending

Frosh - listen to what he says about work habbits, he's right!

just predicts frosh tendancies head on...and knows the remidies

He's a great guy for advice and guidance, and he was sympathetic when my freeking project partner dropped out of the course 2 days before the assignment was due...but I'm a little unclear on his expectations sometimes.

After Bob's class, you'll come out harder-working and more able. Watch out though - his courses does not focus on learning how to program, but focuses on problem solving (hard). Tends to have class favourites.

Has decent advice, don't always take him literally.

helpful guy, he trully is the king of graphs

Made things clear with lots and LOTS of course notes. Was always there with extra tutorials. Make a comment and he'll snap one back at you (funny guy)

he is a nightmare that just wont go away. His power pt. presentations are useless and will put you to sleep.Never trust him when he says"This would be a great exam question". Doesn't understand studeny ability.

great prof very enjoyable classes

made coding barrable

Had him for several req'd courses - EnvE100, Cive 121, ENVE 221 - plus picked CivE 583, partly cause he was teaching. Great prof, got better each time, really approachable, goes out of his way to spend time & make sure u really get it- as long as u r willing to put in the time too

Bob is awesome. Great teacher/helper.

definitely helpful and enthusiastic

By far the most supportive prof. His office is always open and he's always willing to give advice and listen to you cry and complain. Bob makes an effort to have a friendly classroom but at the same time sets a heavy workload and ensures that his students are learning everything that they need to. I couldn't have asked for a better prof.

AWESOME PERSON!EXTREMELY ACCOMODATING AND HELPFUL.

I hate this guy so much... yet, hes the one ill come back to see one day. Surveying in the fields is brutal, bring a lot of patience and something to eat/drink, your gonna be out there for hours. ex. start 1:30, finish: when done or dark.

helpful

Awesome Prof, very interestig and fun. I had all his lectures @ 8:30, and never fell asleep!!!

had for cive 121 & 125. Really helpful. Good to come to in a pinch. listens to problems, inciteful

He rockssss, he is awsomeeeeee. If you need any help just go to him. he is such a sweet guy.

Good Teaching and good voice. But he is a tricky guy outside the classroom. If you ask him for extra mark or tell him about your difficulty, he will say "Yes, I understand and want to help you. But I have zero power..." "The TA mark that question too easy, but he marks next question hard..so I won't make adjustment." BullShXt,heJustWantToIgnoreYou.

Bob is the bloody man.

Great prof. really approachable in first year and makes things go smoothly. Definitely not easy tho. Any bad ratings for him are just from failures in first year :)

Wow, this guy canged my life, very helpful, I wouldnt have lasted throughout 1A without him.

He fills all his presentations with statistics about fail rates and how you are probably going to fail. He ACTUALLY spends half his time telling you that you won't pass 1A. Waste of time.

Good teacher. Gives everyone more than one reason they are going to fail 1A or 1B numerous times throughout lectures. Very helpful though, gives you a heads up on university and helps you through passing

It's ok

amazing prof... hilarious!

Excellent! Teaches both civil concepts (cive125) and digital comp (cive121) very well. Very helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly. Really willing to help and he clearly wants everyone to do well. Very helpful in your first year.

damn, this guy is funny.... probably 100 times "ur gonna fail 1A" in a single lecture. but overall hes a nice prof and really helpful throughout the first term of university

Great man. Never would have made it through 1A or 1B without the support of this prof. If you need help - go to him, he will never not help and every word of advice is golden. His lectures are a tad intense and he makes them harder than necessary - just do EVERY practice exam he posts and you'll do jusssst fine! good luck - you'll need it!

ATTEND THE CLASSES. True, most of it is Bob telling you you're going to fail if you don't study (which is true). But even though his teal-coloured powerpoints are posted online, go to the lectures anyways. Because he's not a bad lecturer. Picky about marking, yes. But a useful course nonetheless.

Awesome guy. Really helpful and is really thorough

Really eased us into university life and tried to make the transition as natural as possible :)

He was very helpful, and dedicated to preparing his 1st year students for University. He makes things harder than necessary, but I think he is going for the "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger" thing. I'm surprised some of the other reviews are so harsh.

The best Prof anyone could have as a nervous first year student. He can think like a student, which is both good and bad. As long as you do all your work, and listen properly in class, you will do well.

If you attend the lectures all he does is either explain about the upcoming assignments or tell you you're going to fail 1st year. However he coaches you and part of the reason I passed 1A is because of his tips. Picks good looking TA's too

Very helpful, even though he seemed like a hard-ass. Cares about his students and goes out of his way to help you as long as you put in the effort to help yourself.

He loves to help you, but make sure you stay on his good side.

Really cares about what he's doing and always willing to help. He goes out of his way to help the class succeed. Best 1A prof for civil engineering.

He is one of the best prof in the first year engineering. His slides are really organized and helpful.My advice to you is just try not to miss any of his classes.

Cares about his students a lot, do not piss him off, attend his lectures. He is very willing to help.

SAYS HE WANTS TO HELP. MAKES THE EXAM IMPOSSIBLE.

easy prof, but really went against the philosophy of higher education. Cared about you doing the required work rather than learning new ideas; assigned a major report that mostly involved following instructions rather than thinking/analyzing for yourself. Ruined civil engineering for me.

Complete all assignment and attend all classes. If you miss something make sure he knows why so he doesn't think you're just skipping. Great professor!

There is nothing conventional about Bob's teaching. He uses scare tactics to push his students harder. He is big on attending lectures and will ensure that you do. The course he teaches will always effect your other courses due to his scare tactics. His lectures are above average. His methods are effective at the cost of making your life miserable.

The guy made his midterm impossible long, even the immigrant students couldn't complete it... Otherwise, not bad

He is the most hilarious lecturer that I have ever had. Awesome Prof. I worked hard and got 105 percent in his mid-term. Frankly, I hate his bonus which made me over 100 percent again and again. I hope that I can take his classes in my upper years.

Bob's a cool guy. If you care about school, he cares about you. Seems tough, but is nice and helpful when you approach him. REALLY strict on certain things (format, citing, etc). Not as bad as people say, imo.

Amazing prof, he can sound creepy though

Best teaching ever, his teaching is funny, but gives good examples and explanations to everyone. He has good ways to motivate everybody in the class. I am glad that I could taught by him.

Bobo is the man. Super cool prof, with a touch of savageness when necessary.

Course really easy for people who has programming experience, for those without, it might be a bit of a challenge. Midterm is good indicator of where you are at. He catered to those who didn't do so well by having a lab section for themselves.

Bob is a great proff, he is caring, funny, very clear and thorough. He keeps on scaring his students, and threatens them with failing, repeating the term, reduced load, getting kicked out etc. but he does that to make his students work hard and do well, and it worked with me. Mind you that not all of his advices are beneficial.

Bob is a really good first-year prof, he likes to give the students a lot of "worst case scenario" shenanigans, but as long as you take his advice seriously and try to follow it as best you can, his class should be one of the easy ones. The most important thing is to show up, pay attention, and DON'T BE LATE.

Fun and entertaining guy. Likes to scare first-years by telling them all the ways they'll fail, but genuinely cares about his students and wants to see them succeed. Would definitely recommend going to all classes, he's a great lecturer and often covers important information in class. Solid prof overall.

Bob's the kind of guy that scares you at first, but he is a legend in the CEE department. He truly cares for his students but knows that 1st years are adults. He wants to treat them as adults, but cares for them so much! Believe me. Many people will love Bob, some will dislike him. Overall, he's a prof that wants to help you improve as a student.

Bob is definitely a caring professor, and he cracks the occasional joke.

Professor McKillop has a tough exterior, but he genuinely cares about helping students succeed. Staying engaged and using study tools like Unstuck study can really pay off in his class.
