The best professor ever. He actually cares about what he teaches and makes the lectures enjoyable. He is super funny and chill but you have to do your work and take it serious. He gives u the powerpoints to print out and his tests are online. 15/10 recommend

Professor John is a cool & passionate professor. However, his lectures tend to be confusing sometimes. His tests are online but definitely not easy. Participation matters & affects your grade clearly. If youre not familiar with the topics prior to entering this class, being able to participate is close to impossible.

Professor Lentine is great. Hes lenient and will work with you if you need an extension. Just talk to him. His lectures are clear and he explains everything. He gives us review sheets for the tests. All the questions come from the review sheets. If you think the tests are hard, you arent doing your work. Do not miss the final review.

Honestly one of the best professors Ive ever had. He doesnt like cellphones in class but his lectures are so entertaining you wont want to be on it. He makes his own slides and has his tests online (AND HE GIVES YOU ALL THE SLIDES TO LOOK AT). Nicest guy and will answer any question. He really throws himself into his work. This is a real pro!
