Wallace Whistance-Smith

One of the best profs at TMU. Just 3 projects (2 individual,1 group), NO EXAMS. All of them too easy, just blend in his lecture material into your work & you're good. Attendance is mandatory 10%, but it's online so it's easy. 10/10 prof, will definitely miss an easy A if you don't take him. His TA is a bit problematic to work with sometimes.

Wally and Paolo provided me an amazing time with this class. However, be warned it is not for slackers as assignments can be a lot. Amazing TA and Professor!

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!

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!

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.

Awesome prof! Wall is an amazing guy, really cares for his students and makes lectures fun/engaging. GMS528 with him will definitely go down in the books as my favourite class at TMU. 10/10 highly recommend taking Prof. Wall!!!!

he was very engaging. it's clear he doesnt just want to teach you, but he wants to set you up for the real world. his lectures were interesting. group project is easy, make sure to get a good group. exams are no trouble if you attended class

Wally's the best!! If you manage to get yourself a spot in his class you actually won the lottery!!

Fantastic prof and very helpful. You'll get an A+ with him. Great in-depth material and notes for studying.

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.
