Quality 4/5Difficulty 3/5

James Spartz is a good teacher.You will have to put in a bit more work than with some other EPD 155 classes. EPD 155 is suppost to be an easy A or AB class; however, with James, it may be a little bit harder. He is always willing to help and is always glad to look to a paper to make it better. He is a pretty nice guy though once you get to know him
