One of the only professors I've ever had that was genuinely concerned about us learning and growing rather than like strict grading and assignments. Also, his teaching style was so clear and the assignments we had were helpful",

He breaks things down really well, but it's a lot of info so you're screwed if you fall behind. Super understanding and flexible on deadlines if you communicate. ",

Funny and relatable, I would 100% take another class with him! Grading is a bit intense as it is mostly just two legal briefs and two exams that make up your grade, but not terrible",

Has a good sense of humor, is receptive to feedback and what you'd like to understand more of, and is willing to meet with you outside of class so long as you are prepared to ask questions. Reading is necessary for the final exam.",
