Songolog is a really nice guy. The class, however, could have been more organized. Before each class he had everyone send a question about the reading and the majority of the class was spent on the questions. The exams were also very hard because there was often no structure for the exams. Also takes forever to return papers. Can be intimidating.

Worst professor I have ever had the misfortune of learning from. Not only is he a disorganized teacher, he doesn't bother to teach anything! He had our class purchase $80 of books which we barely discussed and were never tested on. To top it off, he's a jerk to his students in class! Avoid at all costs, he is NOT WORTH IT!
