Joe was a phenomenal professor. His lectures were intriguing and entertaining. I learned things in this class that will help me immensely in the future. Joe was kind-hearted, funny, and always willing to help his students. Course load is light, and exams were fairly simple. I would definitely have him as my professor again if given the opportunity.
