Possibly the best professor! He is very caring and understanding. The material is simple, and he understands if you can't make a deadline and gives you the chance for revisions. He has excellent taste in movies, and I love him!!

Awesome professor. As everyone else said, he cares deeply about the students in his class and does all he can to help them. He gives thorough, well-thought out critiques and is willing to talk to you about whatever you want to talk about. He's got good taste in books and movies. He responds well to humor and you kinda want him to be your grandpa.
