Had him for Philosophy last quarter too. VERY AWSOME guy. Crazy smart about english too. Sometimes will go off on a tanget about one thing or another, but you'll learn stuff from it, unlike boring teachers =P He's nice, gives you the grade you deserve and doesn't have unreasonable expectations. You WILL come out better from one of his classes.

A sincere teacher with a lot to offer. Truly knowledgable in his subject. Perhaps a little unorganized. Very distractable. I get the idea that each day 1/4 of what he says relates directly to the text or assignment. Seems to like to go off on tangents to show off what he knows. Will not always answer your questions if you tend to be more vocal.
