He is an excellent professor. I would strongly recommend him. There is a lot of reading and quiz every week almost, but not hard at all. If you read the chapters for the tests, you do fine. Overall, I would strongly recommend him!!

He is really a good teacher, but his exams are a little dificult. Exams are curved though and he offers extra credit. Quizes are somewhat dificult, especially if you don't keep up on your reading. But if you read and really study his outlines and powerpoints you should do well. He is interested in helping you at least pass, if not succeed.

Pretty hard class. Quizzes almost every week *FOLLOW THE SYLLABUS AND READ EVERY CHAPTER BEFORE COMING TO CLASS* and don't skip class, attendance counts for a big chunk of the grade. Read VERY carefully for midterms bc the MC are super tricky. Good thing is he offers a giant curve and a lot of EC assignments.

Dont do this to yourself! Says basically at least 15 times per class. The kind of teacher that has book knowledge but no life experience in the field he teaches. VERY old fashion teaching. Accent is heavy so his lectures are not clear. Insultive toward students and blames student if they do no succeed in the course not his fault if we fail.
