He's informative and is willing to bend over backwards to help you. He'll recommend that you get the book, but I honestly never used it for Con Law. Just do your work, try to get it in on time, study your cases and you'll be fine!

I had better expectations of this professor at first. Eventually, neither one of his class meetings was interesting and engaging, unclear, hard professor for a freshman. At times, he was talking much about absolutely irrelevant stuff, which had nothing to do with the course description on Cunyfirst though. Later, I had regrets of taking the class.

You will literally learn nothing that has to do with the constitution. He grades you on your opinion, not facts. Responds late to emails, never updates you on how your doing, aka, you won't even know if your passing or not (Online class). He expects you to do work on Mon - Thu, and not weekends (that'll be late). He uses his own site and textbook.
