He's a difficult professor in that he's not clear with his comments and often disagrees with your hw responses (if they are wrong) in a condescending manner.

He is terrible responding to emails, there was things due that you are not really aware of which is very odd to me. The assignments on McGraw are manageable but you are just very unsure of what your final grade will be. I would prob not recommend taking him there are better professors out there.

Lots of homework

Dr. Mwaura is a cataclysmic professor because he cannot teach. He hoes not know how to communicate with students and assignments are ambiguous. He does not exemplify any traits of a teacher/professor. Responds to students in a condescending manner. He rushes through topics and refuses to meet students' needs. The class is an impediment to your GPA.
