Personally he's not my favorite professor but he does present the information in a very logical way. Also I can say I learned a lot from him. His exams are all math problems so you HAVE to know how to work problems frontwards and back before you go into the exam. Stay organized and on top of things or you will struggle.

There is a project the you have to pass with a 75% in order to pass the class. Start it as soon as he gives it to the class and you should be fine.
