Yes he yells at you. Yes he's not the most approachable person. Even his exams and assignments are hard.

Not bad. Better attend all his classes and, in case of a problem, check the textbook.

Would take again

Prof. Tsoublekas is one of my favorites, really cares about his students. He explains everything really well and makes things easy to memorize because he makes sure you understand them. Going to class is necessary otherwise it'll be harder. Would take again!
