Very clear about explaining, but goes a little fast. Though going through the material a little quicker than desired is to be expected considering the VAST amount that's covered in the course. Do considering this, he is an excellent professor and I'd recommend anyone to take him. If you do poorly in his class, I wouldn't bet it's his fault.
