He's funny and caring. He offers extra help outside of class, so I highly recommend taking use of his office hours if needed. He gives extra credit and willing to help you improve your grade. He provides sample quizzes, which are really helpful in preparing for exams. You just need to pay attention & complete your quizzes to do well in his class.
