Quality 5/5Difficulty 3/5
I took this class as a high schooler, this was my first class taken on a university platform. I couldn't have asked for a better teacher, even if he was through the screen. The homework was directly related to the lecture, everything was organized, and he would help you a lot. Only bad thing was I couldn't understand the lecture note's handwriting.

Gregory made me feel like I study and learn in a safe environment. He invited me to his private tutoring sessions at his crib. His crib, I must say, is warm, humid, welcoming, and thermodynamically efficient. I trust his ability to make his students finish and excel. Go Greg. xo
