I really liked him, I actually think he was one of my favourite characters. He's the kind of professor who brings whatever their teaching to life because you can see the passion.

He exudes openness that makes the multiverse interesting and believable. I was rethinking my knowledge of this universe and my dreams after 'attending' his class.
The author has done a marvellous job to make his theories convincing to the reader by conveying them through this character. If he tried to just teach about quantum immortality the reader would have just ignored it. But due to the character qualities of this professor, as even you, there is a high chance for the readers to rethink about their beliefs on death as well as the universe.

I too think this sort of a professor will be a favourite in any sort of university. Usually the young students love this sort of open minded teachers who shoot witty comments and uncommon jokes. A good character build up by the author.

I cherished educator Leyton Buzzard from his top of the line. From the outset, I was somewhat lost and didn't get what he might have been discussing. After a profound trusting and his classes were more clear. Examination, I comprehended his strategy for instructions.

After a deep analysis, I understood his method of teaching and his classes were easier to understand. In the end, I understood his concepts of worldlines from his point of view. His teachings are informative as well as fun.
Yes, his style provokes your thoughts. You may get nothing by just listening (reading) to his words, but when you let them to wander in your mind your mind will produce wonderful theories. And that is what exactly the professor expected from his students, well, actually what the author expected from his audience.

I like how Professor Buzzard fully engage his students in his lessons. Even though he seems to divert the focus of his lessons, he is posing questions that may help students to be critical thinkers. I could enjoy his lectures. :tiphat:

The professor uses actual examples to explain his theories. I also love the fact that he engages his students hence making his lessons lively. I would enjoy being in such a class.

This professor is inherited with a great ability to tackle with students, understand them, and tailor the teaching style accordingly. And that is what is needed by most of students. At the same time this style helps the reader to understand this theory about quantum immortality.

I think the Professor played a vital role in the book. It was through him we got a better understanding of the worldlines. He did well by using comic relief in his teaching to make it more interesting.

True, making his student to think beyond the imaginable assisted them to be good and effective problem solvers. This would later lead to very prosperous entrepreneurs and a promising future. As we all know a successful entrepreneur is a good problem solvers.
I couldn't agree more. Professor Buzzard is a really good teacher/lecturer. His students are probably the best at what he teaches because having a teacher who gives explanations in such vivid and simplified manners can only breed a best-of-the-best kind of student.
There is no point in trying to please a person who doesn't apreciate me. Besides, why do I have to try and please anyone in the first place?

During my college studies, one of my lecturers had a similar character as Prof. Leyton. I really found that interesting and the imaginations-attached discussions. This goes without say that I love Professor's character.

I liked him and his willingness to push his students and expand their minds. He also was willing to believe in an example of the Many Worlds theory. It was interesting to see his mentor relationship with both Gary and Sinead.

Aah, I liked him for how he teaches his student. Sometimes it feels unnerving when he's there in a scene, though. He perfectly embodies that authority of a professor and provides support for those people under his care. It's not in a comforting way, but more of a relief and trust that he's there watching over you. Also, I just get excited when he enters the scene because that means more about the scientific theories are going to be explored and explained.
