a real architect, armani suits, easy on the eyes
silk couldn't be smoother
works you hard, but he helps you get there though
Not enough idealism - too practical.
Excellent Digital Thesis advisor - be prepared to work though

Works you so hard, but learn so much
Very Dedicated Teacher. Talents wasted at Ryerson.
be more effective if he practiced what he preached!!!!!!!
Stop ... you are killing us with work!!! We know your son is smarter than us.

Get off you high horse!
high sense of confidence comes across as arrogance but is a real nice man 1-on-1
Parts of courses outdated. Old school architect (for a young guy)
Good practicing architect.

Gone? Why is he here twice?
Gone. Now teaching in the Caribbean or Africa as UN Distinguished Prof.
over rated, really looks after himself. Built anything?
I saw him tonight ... he's still around. Doing night school only he said.
Saw him at the parade, he's around and he will be back fulltime Winter 2003.

Y r u guys rating YT? YT has not been here this term. Don't make things up!
talked to him once over studio 1, keen insight.
one of the better arch profs
looks like an architect, dresses like an architect...but is he an architect?
Makes an 8 AM class fun. Gives out quarters for right answers. I like!
So far, the best amongst the 3 ASF017 teachers.
Thinks he's God. Arrogant and pompous. Acts like a stuck up ****
a bit arrogant- but is the norm for this school- smart but not very friendly
Always keeps lectures entertaining and fun to learn from.
The best Architecture Professor so far. His words still sound in my ears.
Just completed my first term and already wishing all profs are like him. He's definitely the man!!
really nice and cool guy, hate the smart ppl in his classes, they make it hard and fast going :(( other than that its a great and helpful class everyone loves it!!!
Dr. Leong beats Dr. Strake hands down!!! Wish he also teaches structures.
by far the best first year arch professor
makes his lectures enjoyable, and fun.
I LOVE THIS GUY.
Great Teacher. It was worth getting up for his 8am friday classes.
Man's a Chinese Clown... joker and a half... however he gets his objective across without any difficulty. Keep up good work
The mans a chinese clown... joker and a half... however, gets the objectives across without any difficulty... keep up da good work !
haha! this dude has the funniest jokes ever!! Dress like a REAL prof but yet without giving students attitude no matter how many Qs u haf ask him! he is always patient. However, his 3D drawings are needed to improve....in sum ways..=_="..other than dat, IT IS COOL to haf him!
Enthusiastic prof always with an attitude to teach. Keep up the good work
loved his class!

What every prof should try to be..... hes just that dam good!
greatest prof there is...better teach me n other years
Overall, I like him, but every now and then I wonder... sometimes seems very shallow. Teaching style is effective, and I don't think anyone else could keep an 8am class of first years full consistently.
Can we have him as our structure prof for 2nd year and onward? Y.T ROCKS! wahahaha! XD
I say he is the best prof so far in First Year.
Wow ... hot, hot, hot!!!
best prof! so funny. Great teacher and sooo not boring, keeps you interested.
he just suckssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss so bad that i can't even describe
Amazing teacher. This class should have been the most boring of all my classes, but it was one of the best!

YT is as real as it gets ... I've been to his office and seen his buildings. Besides, his lectures are from his practice and buildings.
Took over 20 of us out for Chinese New Year lunch, and he paid for the whole lunch. And wished us all a Happy Chinese New Year. Way cool professor.
Extremely dedicated, hilarious, keeps the class engaged. I went to every one of his 8am classes just to hear his jokes!!! watch out for flying chalk and bring a few quarters to lectures!
YT is the best!
YT is one of the only true teachers in Ryerson Arc, he tells it like it is! lol chinglish!
ryerson polytechnical institute. nothing more.
TERRIBLE, IGNORANT, COINCIDED, DISRESPECTFUL ASSHOLE! I emailed him many times and rarely got a response. When I did get one, they were rude one word answers... Very disrespectful towards students unless you are teachers pet. Avoids students and is just overall a TOTAL JACKASS! I wish he would get fired. Seriously...
He doesn't know anything. all he talks about is skydome and the OCAD building and tells everyone he built them. He is a cheap person and he wants all students to become like that. he thinks he is god and controls everything in a course and starts to make up his own rules for the course. act clever or he will screw you up.
Used to hate his guts because of his teaching style (his experience and knowledge come across as arrogant - as he said he teaches everyone as an adult and forces you to learn hard). I have now graduated 2 years ago and just completed Semester 1 in a masters program. His two courses still ring true in my heart and soul.
great teacher. very practical. always helpful when asked. Also a very entertaining individual, his classes were always fun. However, he does play favouritism towards females, particularly asian females.
lots of negative things
ONE OF THE GREATEST PROFS I'VE HAD, PEOPLE ARE TOO HARSH ON HIM
amazing prof, one of the best at Ryerson. underestimated because he focuses more on economics and less on design. but he will teach you how to be street smart! if u have half a brain you'll listen to every word he says
It was a different experience mostly good. All I can say is that weirdly enough everything I remember from Architecture School comes from the mouth of this man. He is unconventional but delivers his message with clarity.
He is the best professor in my life!!!!!! so much fun with him, like him soooooo muchhhhh, he is awesome, he is the best!!! He engage me!!!
YT is an amazing professor who has years and years of practical experience to show. Highly recommend to take his course as it will help your career in the long run. Also a very genuine human being who cares about his students.
He is the one who taught me about good concepts in Architecture, and his words still resonate with me. Even though I graduated last year and am pursuing my Master's now, the knowledge he gave remains invaluable, and I continue to apply it.
Professor's lectures were incredibly insightful, providing valuable knowledge I continue to apply even after graduation. Unstuck study and the free textbook were helpful study tools.
