The best professor I've ever had. He is knowledgable and passionate about what he teaches which makes each lecture engaging. He encourages group participation in a way that is welcoming with no pressure at all. The content was new to me, but he always took time to make sure each student understood the course individually. Take his class if you can!Rate My Professors ↗
Prof is a great guy who truly cares about his students. Amazing class - it's structured as more discussion heavy so I feel like I gained more out of it than just a typical lecture that drones on and on. The assignments aren't difficult as long as you try to participate and put in some effort. I would LOVE to take him again. Take this class!!Rate My Professors ↗
