The lectures are a bit tough to follow and he does go fast sometimes but he always welcome questions.

The class is challenging, but she explains difficult concepts clearly and connects them to hot topics in science. The exams are tough, but she gives students every opportunity to succeed through extra credit and support. She genuinely cares about student learning and her passion for the subject is contagious.
