Quality 5/5Difficulty 1/5
One of the best I've studied under in my life. Spent so much quality time per paper. I didn't need to do the prerequisites. Very lenient grader. Cares a lot about your understanding and very approachable. Loved the war stories about DB research. Every class was a pleasure. He is the Holy Trinity of Excellent Lectures + Good Grade + Inspirational
