I found both classes very informative and eye opening. If you are open to hearing ideas that are not what you are use to then you will do good. He works hard to help you understand how you should be writing. I think the reason for the unstructured class is to get away from high school thinking.

Great teacher! Don't let the stuffy business writers fool you, he may be opinionated, but he listens and respects every student he has.
