Powerpoint lectures and exams are straight-forward (take notes, but you don't have to memorize everything), and his grading expectations are very clear. His class is interesting and engaging and he's very caring!",

This year he got rid of all exams and the book which was super nice and made the class quite manageable. Weekly quizzes, 4 papers, pop quizzes, weekly journals, and a few other assignments here and there. Take one of his classes if you can!!",
