His Welsh accent is sometimes a bit difficult to understand and he tends to trail off into stories that are somewhat related but not relevant and it can get confusing. He is a great professor though and a very esteemed and published scholar. Worth it!",

No exams (small discussion & lecture quizzes) with some papers throughout the semester. However, reading the material is pretty much a must.  Would love to take more of his classes.",
