I would recommend him for english, but if you can avoid dont take the once a week four hour class, its brutal with only one ten minute break for a four hour block. Not for shy people, he wants to know what you see. Your entire grade rests on the essays, all of which can be rewritten for a better grade. Overall a good class.
