Donis is a great teacher, he's very funny makes his class enjoyable. Don't miss his class or you'll be lost the next one. His homework assignments are somewhat lengthy but he grades easily if you do all the work and on time. The only downside is that his exams are oral, one on one in his office with appointment and you have to memorize a lot.

Five tests and an optional final, six discussion assignments, an essay, & an in-class assignment EVERY class. If you have a busy personal life, do not take this class; the work is easy but very time consuming. The lectures are all pre-recorded so its all independent work. Prof Donis is okay but not enough to save this class from being very tedious.
