He gets sidetracked a lot and focuses too much on being cool to actually get to the point. It takes him like one hour to get through 5 slides so everyone loses interest by the last 30 minutes of class because he's spending time trying to catch up with all the time he lost.

Rupinder Brar is easily one of the best profs at Ontario Tech. Despite physics 2 being a tricky course, he made even the toughest of topics simple with his amazing teaching style. I would highly recommend taking him for any 1st-year of physics courses you may have.

He's an amazing prof. I had him for two of my courses. Just make sure to go to class and participate. He offers so many ways he can help, so be sure to use them. He also makes his course grading diverse, so for example, if you do badly in tutorials, your lab grades can help a lot. Put in the work, put in the hours, and take away a great experience!

Amazing prof, his lectures are engaging and you can tell that he is really passionate about the content. He clarifies and explains new concepts really well without assuming prior knowledge, even re-explaining things that were already explained in previous lectures. I would 100% recommend attending his lectures even if you are not in his section.

His lecture content is quite basic (and I might even say very easy) and not too dense in terms of information. He covers a few definitions, provides equations, and then gives a multi-part practice problem to work on during class. Relying solely on his lectures won't be enough for the exams; review additional resources if you're not confident in phy

He is clear and concise regarding the material distributed. Even with a second professor (Dr. Valeri Kapoustine) he is able to effectively organize material with the interest of his students in mind. His exams are clear and on topic regarding the material he encouraged us to review prior to such exam. Overall Dr. Brar is a wonderful teacher.
