Quality 2/5Difficulty 4/5
Difficult to understand. Lecture is incredibly boring. It is hard to figure out what you are supposed to be getting out of his powerpoints. Lots of reading, but I would recommend learning from the readings rather than the professor.

Quality 3/5Difficulty 2/5
He was just okay. Lectures were sort of boring. You do watch a few short video clips, but sometimes those are just kind of weird. 3 exams and 2 papers. No textbook, just readings on LearnUW. Understandable Russian accent.
