    "comment": "Beier is definitely a nice person and his class was pretty easy but you HAVE to do the analysis paper in the semester- idk how but he knows if you don't. There's extra credit and the exams you get a notecard and are pretty easy. However, he takes forever to grade things. Overall though, good guy and the class should be an easy A",
