Price is okay but his grading tactics are strange and a lot of classtime seems wasted watching useless videos and doing busy work. It would be better if condensed to what is useful and necessary and that extra time could be put toward something productive. Likewise, I found the tests to be easy but they didn't seem to correlate with what we learned

Dude needs to rethink his teaching strategies. The quizes are clearly self opinoinated.
