An excellent professor. I had him in my first semester of college. He's a good first professor for new students. He has a great sense of humor, genuinely cares about the well being of his students, and wants to see everyone do well. The work load for me was fairly light. It's very manageable and he offers plenty of help to those who need it.

A little bit condescending, but a great instructor otherwise. He reuses the same jokes pretty frequently, which can get tiring, but is a generally funny guy. He is very available outside of class. Usually he uploads his lectures to Boilercast, but I wouldn't make a habit out of missing class, because there are quite a few in-class quizzes.
