Quality 2/5Difficulty 4/5
Has a pretty thick accent, but can usually understand him. Lectures are boring, and sometime there are in class problem sets that are hard and confusing. Only graded on 2 take home tests and some poster project as a final. Take home tests are like the problem sets, so get ready to be confused. I'd take the other teacher for this class.

Quality 2/5Difficulty 5/5
Very unhelpful. He likes what he teaches, but lectures are very unclear. Be sure to read the books that are assigned to the class to gain any knowledge. Grades unfairly.

Quality 1/5Difficulty 4/5
One of the worst professors I've had. Unable to explain concepts in a clear matter and repeats himself making the lecture hard to follow. I also feel he focuses too much on less applicable information. The only saving grace is that the exams are take home and follow the book fairly closely. If you are stuck taking this class with him, good luck.

Quality 2/5Difficulty 5/5
One of the least helpful and most pompous professors I've had. He thinks his teaching style is great, but it's lacking in clarity. Do not take this class with him. One of the worst I've had.

Quality 2/5Difficulty 5/5
Ridiculous. Worst class ever. Made me change my major. Don't take it unless you need it. You cannot understand him and he doesn't write on the board clearly. Go to the TA for help who stays on FB during class. -_- READ if you miss a lecture. WORK in groups or you will fail.

Professor has a thick Polish accent and was difficult to understand. I thought the material was way over my head and I didn't understand much. The book compliments the lectures really well and I read the book for clarification.I took my tests to him at the end of the semester to get points back and he was kind and changed my grade from a C to BC.
