I passed his class. However, it's because of my own skills and not because of the things I learned from him. In fact, I didn't learned anything. Students shouldn't depend on the professor anywy because it's only us who can improve our skills. This professor is not professional, so don't take him. Trust me or else you'll just ruin your GPA.

I didn't learn anything. The books that he will require is 3 books and I payed a lot for those books. However, books are rarely used, and he will just make students read it during class like a 1st grade class. He also makes surprise activities so that he could have the time to "text"... yes you heard it right.. he text during class hours. NOT A PRO

Wouldn't take again

I never take this professor again. I spent my time by doing nothing at this class other than learning about rubrics .He did not even teach us a text book .
