He was a man who would often go off on a tangent, speaking enthusiastically about a subject we had no idea we were meant to be discussing. Usually, you’d think you were following him, only to find you weren’t when he revealed the real topic. It was his way of trying to get us to open our minds up to different scenarios and possibilities, many of which were often unfathomable.

Prof. Leyton Buzzard was quite enthusiastic about discussing apparently ordinary events in a detailed and a logical manner to open the minds of his students to new possibilities and theories. What do you think about his teaching style and teachings? What is your overall opinion about him?

I think he has the perfect, quirky personality so that people struggled to believe him and his theories, it gives the worldline "theories" more mystery to it.

I absolutely loved the professor. I loved his analysis of ordinary happenings and how cool he appeared from the conversations in the book. I loved that he liked inviting his students to think like him.

I loved the professor. His quirky way of teaching is exactly how I think students should be taught as it encourages us to think for ourselves, fend for ourselves. I would love to have a fairly eccentric but talented professor like him.

I think this personality of his brought a different feel to the otherwise sombre mood of the entire book. When he appeared in the book, he brought humour which I appreciated because it balanced the book perfectly.

I remember him from when I read this book a few months back. He seemed quirky, eccentric and slightly silly. However I did enjoy those crazy theories about of his and the passion he invested in them.

I like how the author gave life to Professor Leyton. He was engaging but nerdy, inquisitive but open-minded. 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.

His teaching seems cool and fun. It jogs your mind and allows you to engage fully with the content. I love his enthusiasm too. I'd have loved to have such a professor. Witty, knowledgeable, and just all round fun.

I loved professor Leyton Buzzard from his first class. At first, I was a bit lost and didn't get what he could have been talking about. 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.

I like how the professor teaches his students, because nowadays there are also many children who don't understand easily, so for me the professor is really creative and makes very good decisions because that's where all the students understand easily, and with the attitude of the professor including easy to wrestle with his students, i really like this

I think his method of teaching is confusing since the scenarios and possibilities he mentioned were unfathomable to the students and when you think you're following you find out you aren't. But, I think he is a knowledgeable man whom one can learn a lot from if you adapt to his method of teaching.

As a teacher myself, bringing your learners to a place where their minds are open to thinking beyond the surface level, bring up possibilities they never thought of before is beautiful. I am not as talented as the professor but I sure loved him.

Good point. Professor Buzzard had a way of connecting everyday events with some scientific theories. He did this when explaining the tree falling scenario. Professor Buzzard's character helped me understand how scientists may view the world around them.

Just to add to what you are saying. Professor Buzzard seems jovial as well. The way he questioned Gary at the beginning just seems like he was having a lot of fun.

For me Prof. Leyton was the most interesting character, and I loved his theories and explanations.
Of course, the students would love him, especially for his eccentricity.
