Vanora is great! He's a dynamic professor and tries to make the subject interesting. Interacts a lot with the class to keep you engaged. His tests are very straightforward, because he gives a review sheet stating exactly what you need to know. Final exam is not cumulative, so this class was an easy A+. He truly cares to help his students do well.
