Quality 5/5Difficulty 4/5
Incredible professor and guy. Super helpful outside class. Willing to help you anytime how much ever you need. Know that this metalsmithing class is A LOT of work. You have to spend a big chunk of time outside class every week to finish the homework. But you will remember this class for the rest of your life! He will inspire you to be a metalsmith.

Quality 4/5Difficulty 3/5
Very nice person but a little disorganized. My projects weren't amazing, but as I finished them on time and met the basic criteria he was looking for, I basically always got full marks. The class time is just him demoing techniques which means you'll have to come in during non-class time to finish projects (on average I spent 4-6 hr/week).
