The class started very slowly, and was pretty boring, however about 1/3 of the way through it became much more intersting. He's a very nice guy, and is willing to help you on pretty much whatever. The tests are difficult, study supply shocks for the second midterm and the final.Rate My Professors ↗

Knows the material well, but does not do a good job of presenting it. Lecture is taught right out of the textbook.Rate My Professors ↗

He's a lot more helpful in person or via email than he is in lecture. He is a really smart guy but he doesn't utilize it; all he does is use the slides/homework that Pearson provides. Exams weren't easy at all, but he gave us a full page cheat sheet where we could write whatever for the exams (front side only for midterms, both sides for final)Rate My Professors ↗

He's not a good lecturer. Unprepared, too quiet, has difficulty articulating thoughts; reading the book was far more helpful, which his lectures followed. Homework was online and taking those very seriously was the key to success. Exam questions were sometimes worded awkwardly, which was often more confusing than the material itself.Rate My Professors ↗

Learned from the textbook. If you go to lecture you cannot hear him anyways so I didnt attend at all. He is a smart guy, so I bet if you go to office hours he would be interesting to talk with. Wish I had someone else because I actually enjoy the material.Rate My Professors ↗
