He takes a relative difficult course and makes it very manageable. What's sets him apart is his very clear, methodical and well paced lecture. His test aren't exactly cake-walks but good note taking and studying the homework should bet you a above average grade. Doesn't really smile and can seem to be overly serious but he's actually very nice.
