The nicest professor! Lectures are interesting and you can tell he is passionate about Aging Adults. We had a lot of guest lectures! He is genuinely so kind and will sometimes bring in donuts for the whole class. He wants all his students to succeed and is there for support in and out of the classroom. My favorite professor I've had at UW.
