Sadly I've got to say he's the worst prof I've ever had. Very bad at teaching, hard to understand his material. He literally reads off the slides without really clarifying and explaining it well.

Shows lack of professionalism in his lecture due to contradictory statements. His lectures do not match his prewritten notes, unable to keep a consistent train of thought.

Explains things so clearly and even if you're still stuck he is extremely approachable outside of class and really helps you work through a question, rather than just solving it for you.
