I recommend professor L because he makes you think and you will learn. I ended up getting a B+ in his class and an A is possible. However, I heard that there are other professors that teaches the same course and with little work or no effort, you will get an A. That means, you have to work for your A with professor L.

He goes super fast in class and tells you to slow him down or visit him during office hours if you have a question. But visit him during office hours, he will either ignore you knocking on his door or give you the biggest attitude. He places you in groups to avoid having to answer questions if you do ask him a question he doesnt answer.
