Quality 4/5Difficulty 4/5
His classes were fun and engaging because the material is very applicable to our society. Everything that was taught in lecture was on the exam, so showing up to lecture is pretty much the most important thing to do in the class. The discussions were very fun and a good way to learn more stuff.
