He makes a nice effort to learn everyone in class' names. 2 papers, 1 presentation, weekly discussion posts and a few other assignments throughout the semester.",

The chosen books were interesting ... But I would not read anything like them ever again. Grading criteria is unclear and he procrastinated grading until the end.",
