He's a good professor, but I always seem to fall asleep in his class. I think it's because he teaches for 2 1/2 hours without taking a break (bleh). He cares a great deal for his students and has nothing but their ineterests on his mind for the most part. His tests are very content specific. Anytime you see a list of something, remember it.

Wally is a great individual. However do not come to class expecting to be taught the material. He usually tells stories that are somewhat related to the chapter. The goal is to get over 70% in the two midterms, by studying the book a lot alone. Then he marks the final project very easily and that should boost your mark.

I cannot say a single bad thing about this professor. He is smart, caring and extremely helpful in a student's success. He often gives real life applications of economic concepts and prepares his own notes to give students more of an understanding outside of the text. He makes it easy to do well if you put in work.

Wal really cares about his students. I had his class at 9am and still went to every single one because he gave good life advice and was always gave good hints for his tests. His tests r super easy if you show up to the lectures and he is an easy grader on assignments

Wally's very qualified and experienced. He is super caring and accommodating, always makes sure everyone is doing well and not stressing out. He is a fair marker on the group project and his tests are fairly easy. Course was well organized with lots of resources that help you succeed. Informative and straightforward lectures. Overall great guy.

A literal gem. So patient, empathetic and cares so much about his students. He offered his phone number in case you were ever stuck and all of his tests were easy if you did the work. Bless his heart.

Dr. Smith is by far the best professor you can have in the entire university. He has a tremendous amount of real-world experience, and his lectures are extremely enjoyable. He genuinely cares for the students and gives a lot of bonus marks and almost every single student got an A in his class. His assignments are the best. Take any class with him

He's one of the best profs at Ryerson. He is so knowledgable and he actually talks about real-life experiences. I seriously learned more from him in this one course than I have in at all my courses at Ryerson. I seriously love attending his lectures, he makes 8am's worth going to. TAKE HIM any chance you get, you won't be disappointed.

Wal was a great prof. He made his class enjoyable for the most part and didn't test us on too many things. Our entire mark was made up of 3 things, two individual assignments (PowerPoint with voice-overs) and a final group PowerPoint. He doesn't like reports. His grading was a bit unclear sometimes, but I feel he was a very fair marker.

Prof Whistance was the best prof I had at Ryerson/ TMU he was really good at engaging with the students and involving really interesting personal life stories and how it reflated to the material. He was always good at responding to emails in a fair manner. I just graduated and he was the best way to finish of my GMS major.

An INSPIRATION! I took his class bc I saw his ratings. Best choice ever. He doesn't use textbooks or old slides, he makes everything himself based on his lived experiences being incredibly successful in the industry. He is inspiring me to do and be better, and genuinely is the kindest, best prof I've EVER had! His assignments help you learn irl too

One of the better profs at TMU. Consists of two individual assignments (35% each) which were fun to complete and one group assignment (make sure to get a good group). Not a difficult course, if you put in effort you'll do well and gain valuable knowledge. He also gives opportunities for bonus marks. I definitely recommend taking a course with him.

If you can take one of his classes do it! As long as you pay attention in class, you are guaranteed a good mark. He gives out random bonus marks if you participate in class discussions. Make sure you have a group for the group project and you will be set for this class.

Wally makes the class exciting and worth the time. Attendance is mandatory, but it's easy to stay engaged thanks to his real-world examples and approachable teaching style. Unstuck study was a game-changer for test prep - highly recommend it alongside the free textbook.

One of, if not the best prof at TMU. Extremely passionate about teaching, and makes the mandatory 3 hour lectures fun and engaging with real-life experiences and examples. Very easy course with clear and easy assignments (no exams or midterms). Highly recommend taking 701 or any courses with Prof. Wallace.

One of the best professors at TMU hands down. He is the textbook. Lectures are mandatory as you receive participation marks. 3 assignments worth 30% and 10% for participation. 2 of the assignments are individual and the final is a group project. As long as you follow the steps to do the assignments, you are guaranteed an 85%. Great professor.

Nice prof but has a big ego disagreeing with the textbook practices, and rather teaching his own opinions. He gives extra credit if you participate and tells you during the lectures what's going to be on the exam and what won't be. His slides however ran up to like 100 slides long sometimes and he rushes through them. Also very disorganized D2L.

Chill prof. Assignments are heavy but practical (e.g., redesign a product, make a recommendation). Rare to score below 80%. He appreciates effort and exceeding expectations. Pick a good group for the final project—it's a lot. Attendance is 10% of your grade.

He's fun to listen to yes, but it's mostly irrelevant to the course. He expects an unrealistic amount of effort/work for what is a program ELECTIVE. Paper 1 is 5-8 pages single spaced, Paper 2 is 2500 words with 20 subsections. Large group project, mandatory attendance. Also pretty harsh grading despite NO rubric, only a project outline, provided.

Wallace is one of the most knowledgeable professors I've had. He uses real-life experiences in his lectures. Though the course itself is way too difficult. Assignments take way too long, and on top of them, you have to do a report for each one. Not to mention his TA marks super aggressively! Good for your brain not for your GPA. Uses too much A.I!

The quality of education Wal and Paolo provide is something I never thought I'd receive at a university. He goes far beyond what any book could teach, and each lecture is extremely insightful. I wish he taught more classes; I would take them in a heartbeat. Thank you for everything, Wal. You are truly one of a kind!
