Any feedback on any of these teachers?
This is just an outline of my courses:
First Term:
Comp Sci 1MD3: FRANEK, F
Geog 1HA3: PEACE, WG
Econ 1B03: HOLMES, H
Engineer 1A00: TBA
Math 1ZA3: CHILDS, A; MC LEAN, C; MARES B
Philos 1E03: GARRETT, B
Second Term:
Econ 1BB3: O'SHAUGHNESSY, B
Comp Sci 1FC3: KAHL, W
Geog 1HB3: PEACE, WG
Math 1ZB3: CHILDS, A; MC LEAN, C; SHEN, C
Math 1ZC3: MC LEAN, C; WANG, Y; ZHAO, W
My first question would be my title and the second being do you have 3 professors for one course you're taking? Like if you look at Math 1ZC3 there were 3 names under instructors under the master timetable. Can anyone explain that as well and if you had any of those teachers listed above please provide me with some feedback on them? Thanks

For math, different profs teach different cores... childs is highly sought after, and you'll find his classes most full (despite the time of day). You'll get randomed a core, which you may be able to change.
For bio, english, etc random others: you may change profs half way through.

McLean is one of those hate him or love him teachers.
I hear people say he's bad, but I personally think he does a great job, and so do others. He explains it thoroughly without the bullshit imo.
Holmes will occasionally give out a "bonus" question on her exams about her cats, john lennon, cows, etc.
O'Shaughnessy does an OKAY job. But now APILIA isn't worth 10%.

So you highly suggest if I don't get Childs for 1ZA3 and 1ZB3 I should try moving to his core?

It's like an online quizzing system. Quite easy, and a good study aid.
I think now that it's not worth 10%, people think it's not worth their time.

I beg to differ. Anyone else got feedback/comments on any teachers? Thanks for most of the comments so far. ;D

If you have the time, attend each of their classes once or twice and decide for yourself.. you don't have to actually change cores, just attend whichever you can if your schedule makes it doable... just don't do it if one of the profs has a class close to capacity... sucks having people not even registered in your section take up the seat assigned to you :(

Wouldn't be changing my core to his timeslot make me registered in his section? If so, wouldn't that nullify your last part of your message? :S

Personally I loved Aplia, the reason why some people did bad was because they either left it to the last minute or couldn't cheat
