Take him while you can!(He's leaving after next semester) He's so nice and helpful. He made a super boring class a lot more fun. He's EXTREMELY positive and very encouraging and that really helps. It's not an easy A and there's no curve, but it's not extremely difficult either. You'll learn a lot.

Colin is AWESOME. Lectures are SO clear and organized. Uses tons of examples, I learned SO much from this class. A lot of textbook use but it was really helpful. Great book choice, I'm keeping it even though the class is over.

Colin is an awesome professor! Lectures are organized and clear; makes it easy to study for exams, which are also very fair. He is so helpful. Had him for discussion as well and he took so much time writing comments on my papers...I would definitely reccommend his classes! He's funny, too!

Colin is an awesome TA and will make a great professor one day. I've had him twice and he's the most helpful TA I've had. He's very concerned about making sure everyone understands the topics and you can tell he's very interested in the material. He will help you out a lot if you have him
