Might just be the best professor in the university. Set deadlines according to other classes' deadlines and always extends if needed. He even gives partial solutions to some assignments cause he want you to work on it until you get the answer. First 4 questions of exams are almost identical to assignments. Last 2 questions will destroy you.

Professor Dolovich is the best prof at the U of S. He is considerate and acknowledges that students have weeks when they are stressed, and would adjust deadlines according to that.
