Easy A. Gives you everything you need to know on study guide before each test. Didn't really learn much but can't complain with an A. Curses a lot, kind of loses his edge with every other word being the F bomb. Also, every class was about a race issue. I was in child development and we talked more about racism.

If you need an easy "A" take anything he offers. He doesn't make you buy a book and gives you notes, which is very awesome. However most of his classes seem to be alot alike where the same thing is repeated over and over and many discussion topics usually degenerate into alot of frustrating ignorance. He curses way too much, it's unintelligent.
