I think Dr. Labine is a nice enough guy, but I noticed, at least during my online class, that he can be fairly rude. Always makes note of when a student is late, saying it's "disruptive" when it's really not. We only had one paper, but the grading was somewhat harsh in my opinion. Not sure what the point is in embarrassing your students.
