JOURN 176
Quality 5/5Difficulty 2/5
Took his class called Social Impact Storytelling (Journ 176) and absolutely loved it. He's an amazing person, listens to feedback, and gives great feedback on all assignments. He's an awesome teacher, and I would recommend everyone take this course; it has all grade levels mixed in. Assignments are not hard, and he's not a tough grader.
