This is the worst prof I've ever had. His accent makes it difficult to understand what he's saying. There are things on the test I don't ever remember him mentioning. He assigned a 2-3 page paper only worth 10 points! And he took a point off of mine because it wasn't stapled. His lectures are worthless and he doesn't make sense. Don't take him!
