Excellent teacher. Do the homeworks and you have an easy A. The quizzes are 1 question with a practice before it and the problems come from the homework. Goes over everything you need to know for the tests and quizzes in depth and is more than willing to work on whatever you don't understand. Be on time, stay quiet during class, and do your work and you have an easy A. I'll definitely be looking for him for future math courses.
