Very good prof, you will learn a lot about this course, and he makes it interesting. Also posts video lectures. One flaw is that he's still teaching when most profs are doing review, he will teach a chapter that is a big portion of the midterm/exam. So instead of having 2 weeks to learn the material, you have 1, which is tough with other courses.
