One of the best teachers I've ever had...and as a senior, I've had a lot of teachers. Always willing to clarify whatever you don't understand. Leaves it up to you to read the book and if you don't, then it's your loss.

He was very fun and energetic, and his class was mostly lecture and no homework. However, it was hard to know what to expect for tests. And if he ever assigns a paper, make SURE to ask all the specifications (like font size and such), cause he won't hesitate to take points off for that.
