Three words:
Dr. Martin Horn.
Single greatest prof ever to exist in the universe. He knows what hes talking about, he lectures old school style...hes the kind of prof thats so intimidating, its attractive. Basically the kinda prof a History geek like me idolizes and strives to become.
And, he produced one of my favorite quotes ever...
"But Britain and France had one advantage the Germans did not. They could tap America!"

Rocco Piro is my favourite. He used to teach both Computer Architecture and Networking but they've combined those two now so he's teaching that one course, Multimedia 2K03 I believe. I would recommend the course but I don't know if it's an open, it's a mandatory Multimedia course.
I also like Dr. Henderson a lot. I would recommend taking one of the history courses he teaches.

She is an amazing lecturer and I find her classes to be very well organized.

Not to be confused with her mother, Dr. H. Ostovich in English I assume?

Dr. Michael Mercier - HUMAN GEOOO  I know alot of people dont like him but I found that he made his courses more interesting, especially since he won't give you the full notes for classes (he posts notes with fill-in-the-blanks). I like the way that his classes are a good mix of assignments and tests as well. I've had him for 3 courses so far and Mac and I've recieved 8 or above in all three.

That sounds cool. You probably have to fill in the important parts and it will help you remember those points you filled in.

Dr. Childs for math
Dr. Flesig for PEng
Dr. Zurob for materials
Dr. McKay for physics
Dr. Doyle for design
I think all those profs are great. No real confusion when they tell you something. That's how it should be :p

McKay was AWFUL for Phys 2B03 but it's relieving to hear he isn't all bad..
Dr. Stone for Origins!
Dr. Reid for Astro
Dr. A. Sills for Astro but I'm not sure if she does it anymore.

-Dr. childs for stats. He was hilarious! I hate stats but it was my favourite lecture to go to.
-Dr. Ullal for sensory and neuroscience. He truly loves what he does and gets really excited when he lectures! Super friendly as well.
