Quality 4/5Difficulty 3/5
The lectures can be a little dry (pun intended), but Dr. Potter presents material clearly and concisely. If you attend the lectures and do the homework, the exams shouldn't be too difficult.

Quality 2/5Difficulty 3/5
The most boring lecturer I have ever had, and the most boring course in the whole civil curriculum. If you are not interested in the subject, it feels like being tortured.

Quality 3/5Difficulty 2/5
His lectures were very pointless to attend. The exam had mostly questions from discussion and hw with only 1 5 point question from exam material. All of his slides are posted online.
