Quality 5/5Difficulty 1/5

10/10 professor, super chill guy. there were weekly readings but easily manageable. Very entertaining class too, with extra credit opportunities. Occasional presentations. He told stories from his past that made class super entertaining, and he was overall a very caring and accommodating guy. would take again
