Quality 2/5Difficulty 4/5
Nice guy, but doesn't know how to communicate with students. Doesn't answer questions clearly. Exams are very detailed. When the entire class did poorly, he acted like we were the dumbest class he'd ever had instead of maybe looking at his teaching technique as being the issue. Would not take another class from this professor.
