Class is for serious students who want to learn the HVAC field. I'm a average student & I learn more than I ever imagined. This professor loves to teach & loves the industry. He energizes the classroom & will leave you hungry for more! Very kind but very firm with the course work, if you are a slacker you won't last a week. Highly recommend.

Great professor! Cool dude! Fair! You will learn a lot! You will take lots of notes which you can use on test. Study is a must and he base his lectures from reading assignments so if you don't do HW you be lost in class. It is true his class is slacker free zone, if you don't put effort in he will ignore you. I highly recommend him.
