He's so funny! The lecture is well designed. But you gotta spend some time analyzing the lecture notes. Those are extremely important. Reading textbook is not really helpful. So do go to the lec!!

Technically, He's a TA. Still, this guy is freaking awesome. Nice guy, very helpful, and makes the material interesting. I'm not a computer science kind of guy, but I was easily able to get an A because of his helpfulness. I sincerely hope Finn decides to become a professor, but I think he'll be off to do bigger and better things soon.
