For me lectures were really useless. His powerpoints consists of nothing but pictures. All he provides to help us prepare for the quiz is random definitions from the book and models directly taken from the book as well which he includes separate from his lecture powerpoint. He invites random people from different organizations to help apply some of the concepts. We do random discussions that are really useless to learning the concepts and he constantly tries to promote random books. He constantly throws out random info that doesn`t even become testable.

If I were you and you were taking his class, I would just skip the lectures and read the book. Save your time rather then attend his worthless lectures.

I forgot to mention, ONLY 1 QUESTION FROM LECTURE ever showed up on the quiz.

And just to make this class even more gayer, 60% of your overall mark comes from 2 papers alone. Bus 272 does not help at all. I got an A- in that course but I am probably going to end up with a C+ or B- in 374. I just want this class to be over so I can move on and never see him or this class again.

All I have to say about this class with Adam Cotterall is good luck and be prepared.
I think my prof is a recently grad-ed student. No idea how the course will be taught. : /
