I took this professor a few semesters ago, so my comments may or may not be revelant now. He was a fun, upbeat professor and is obviously a highly educated, smart young professor. I think he tries too hard to relate to our age. A lot of the discussions veered off unprofessionally toward sexual topics. If you are easily offended, don't take him.

This class was so enlightening. Dr. Austin really challenges you to think and open you eyes in new ways. This class is not for the easily offended b/c he encourages everyone to say absolutely anything. He's a tough grader, and don't look to any of his classes as a blow off. But you will be a better student when you make it through.
