If you fail any of his classes, it's your fault, not his. You're there to learn, and sometimes you have to make an effort to succeed. If you sit at the back of the lab surfing the web during lectures, you'll get the mark you deserve, but if you do your part, which isn't much to ask, you'll succeed.

Raymond expects his students to know how to use all the hands on features. Oppose to teaching some of the more difficult concepts he choses to go over basic stuff such as how to bold words which i learnt in kindergarden. Do not take his class unless you intend to fail miserably. He also is very monotoned and speaks with his back to you.
