My biggest problem with PK is just the way he talks. Sometimes he talks really quickly and his accent makes it hard to understand. Notes can also be confusing, so study for the tests. Other than that, he's funny and probably the nicest prof I've ever had. He'll give you his cell number that you can call at 1am if you need help with something

Amazing professor! His accent is tricky to get used to, but he's genuine and caring. Calls us his friends. 2 exams, theyre tricky so study quizzes and power points. Group projects aren't as hard as they seem. only a few homework assignments and he doesn't grade them. Pay attention to lectures and online quizzes and you'll be totally fine.

By far the most energetic professor I have experienced at GV. Extremely smart in his field and likes to help you in any way he can. Follow directions and ask questions when you're working on the projects and you should get close to full credit. Exams were MC and somewhat difficult. Also be aware that the 2 exams count for over 50% of your grade.
