He's very generous with extra credit, which makes the class easy. There is little to no homework. The tests are sometimes awkwardly worded but he gives lots of clues about what will be on them and the extra credit makes it so you don't need A's on the test if you do well on everything else.

Tim loves to teach and loves his work. His jokes may be lame, but he knows they are, so that makes them tolerable. Never really had any homework, but you need to study your notes if you want to do well on the exams. The lab tests are not the easiest either, but are better then the exams. I took this class purely to fufill my science requirement.
