Unreasonable and full of himself. Makes genuinely weird examples and is more worried about finding the perfect photo of Syphillis than if you understand what we're talking about. Must do hand written notes, and if you turn something in a second after the class starts, even if you're a minute late, there's a 50% deduction- like I said, unreasonable.
