Professor is willing to answer questions and walk through examples, but be prepared to ask questions or keep talking to keep the lecture going.

Quality 2/5Difficulty 4/5

He couldn't teach a fish to swim, was so boring. Definitely in the wrong career. he just sits during lectures as he reads off the slides. Nice and sweet guy, though, and very accommodating. But if you're not religious and you have to take him then just pick a religion and pray.
