Really great guy! Made a boring freshman class interesting and extremely easy. Not very many papers compared to other ENG100 sections.

Quality 4/5Difficulty 1/5
His teaching style is very straightforward and to-the-point and is an interesting person with an interesting demeanor. He's a tad pretentious, but it never to the point that its annoying. There's a fair amount of papers, but the prompts are interesting and he grades easily. I barely tried and got an A.
