The professor has a thick accent which makes understanding him difficult, but not impossible. The other reviews about him are a little harsh, and I think he's trying to make light of an EXTREMELY BORING subject and deserves props. He's not a bad teacher, there's just a language barrier. Answers were online and just listen carefully, u'll be good

Not taking him ever! He is very rude when we ask a question via email he does not respond back well at all. He is rude in emails. He does not inputs grades clearly and final grades would be completely different than shown on the canvas. Does these BONUS as extra credit. I can't understand him! Test pretty okay.

He gives online hw weekly that can be found on quizlet or chegg. He also gives a midterm and final with the answers online. Had him on zoom, and he would go on in tangents that made me just lose focus of the subject. Somewhat simple but the concepts are nuts.

He seems like a great person but as a professor in the most respectful way possible this guy should not be teaching.
