I did not like this professor - he is very misleading - he seems nice at first, but then makes judgemental comments not appropriate for a teacher to make. His tests/quizzes are very easy although some questions can be tricky. He is a very strict grader when it comes to giving speeches and expects everyone to be an experienced public speaker.

His notes are a little messy and his accent takes some time getting used to but his grading system is very easy going.

Second class I've taken with Professor Awodiya. A schedule is given at the beginning of the semester, but he often extends deadlines.
