He is a good teacher if you listen and are not afraid to ask about things you do not understand. If you do not, he can seem unclear at times. WARNING: He may be a vampire, but this has not yet been determined.

He is very knowledgeable about what he lectures. He can be condescending and has no problem embarrassing/singling out students. The way he grades is unreasonable (A=unbelievable, B=default grade, BC="fail"). His papers are unclear. The student will want a good TA or the class will be miserable. Overall, he is a good lecturer, but a bad teacher.
