I do enjoy his lectures quite a bit, he is enthusiastic and very interesting. My problem lies with the grading in the class, as he is not very clear about the expectations for exams. The only grades you get come from tests, and the tests have trick questions and are hard to study for. The averages are in the mid 70's but he will not curve.Rate My Professors ↗
He enjoys setting students up for failure. Making exams really hard and refusing to answer questions.Rate My Professors ↗
He just wants to get through class and skip over stuff. He has assistive but it is pointless. Wil not answer questions in class.Rate My Professors ↗
He is slow and boring can't be consistent with his studies to throw you off.Rate My Professors ↗
His tests make up majority of the grade does not go over lost of the stuff on the tests. Expects you to read it all.Rate My Professors ↗
His class is designed to be so challenging. Much to his cruel enjoyment.Rate My Professors ↗
