AWSOME TEACHER. He's the best teacher I've ever had in math. His grading system is very simple and straight forward. You work hard and you know the material, you get an A or a B. If you kinda know it it's a C. If not you'll probably be dropping. The key to his class is simple, do the work that he gives you and actually learn the stuff.

Great professor, super intelligent, really know his stuff, so well that even though he is a great professor, I think he forgets that not all of us are as intelligent as him.
