All and all I liked him. He has an incredibly short fuse though when it comes to criticism. I have never seen a teacher that refuses to admit that he is wrong and doesn't know everything. He should try to apply what he is teaching to his own life.

Some of what you have to do in this class is helpful but MacKey himself is highly elusive and blames you for not seeking out other students in the class if you could not find and question him.
