His lectures and classes were set up to be engaging, and He provided many resources for exams. The class structure was very manageable, but pay close attention to the course calendar because the canvas page can be a bit confusing.

He really seems to care about students doing well in the class and offers many opportunities for extra credit. The content was also fairly easy to understand without reading the textbook.
