His lectures are engaging and thought provoking, and always willing to compromise with you for extensions on homework/projects etc.  However, this class  is very hard, and covers a lot of material in a short time, but Rick makes it doable.",

I learn a lot in 302 and 333, which are difficult classes, but I got a good grade with him. BTW you can bring textbook and notes to exams.",
