At first, I thought he was cool and easy going, but then I got bored with hiss endless stories about himself. A waste of time! He just loves to talk and is in love with himself. Always late. He's not a tough grader, but if you actually want to learn something new- don't take him! He might also get very emotional about your opinion and flip out.

If you have a busy schedule, DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS. He is not lenient on anyone who is unable to get to his class on time especially when it's time to give speech. If you did not make it on time to when he calls your name, you are unable to get credits for the speech even if you are 5 minutes late or came in a minute after, and no makeups.

If you are busy or late quite often do not take his class. Although he is nice he seems very arrogant knowing the amount of leverage his class holds. Regardless of the number of notes you take or the amount of work you do, if you're even five minutes late your grade will tank and he will not approach the situation nor will he seem to care.
