This professor did not care. He did not care about his students, his grading was never higher than 78 and he didnt respond to emails when I seeked help. He spent 30 minutes passing a book around for people to sign their names just to take up class time. I enjoyed the material but he did not care about the course. he wasnt present for midterm.

Don't expect his classes to be to the point and concise. He often doesn't start until 20-30 minutes after class begins and usually wastes an additional hour during class.

If you get the chance take Franky, the class is an easy class but make sure you don't skip, also get to know him once you're in his good books you're guaranteed a minimum B-, doesn't post lecture slides online so attendance is mandatory. He tells you exactly what is going to be on the midterm and the final. Bon suerte:)

Class was averaging 50s-60s for midterm & exam (very hard) but he bell-curved most students up to a B which I think is the only reason people like him. Lectures are boring & totally useless because he tests you on randomness and wastes class time on activities & games unrelated to course. The yoga thing is true. Unhelpful for group assignment. Bad.

Grades are based on whether or not he likes you and if you attend class. The class makes test questions, which can be super hard because overachieving students are trying to impress him for bonus marks. He keeps the class engaged and calls out people to answer. He hates late people. Get on his good side to succeed in his class. Talk to him a lot
