Quality 1/5Difficulty 3/5
He only reads off the powerpoint slides and sometimes skips 10 slides at a time and everyone just gets so confused. I honestly dread going to this class. I can tell he is very knowledgeable about the subject, but I personally believe he is not good at teaching it. I really did not enjoy having him as a professor.

Fourakis is very quirky, but after having him twice I really learned to love him. Going to class and LISTENING is essential because he doesn't post powerpoints or even have powerpoints.. The class may seem confusing, but he makes it pretty easy to do well. His finals are mostly old quiz questions word for word which is awesome. ALso teaches 303

He gives quite a few quizzes and you get to drop the lowest score. I liked this class a lot. You might have trouble in the first couple of weeks understanding his accent but sit in the front couple of rows and after a while you'll understand everything he says.

Quality 2/5Difficulty 4/5
Marios has a hard time typing, and therefore does not respond to emails or make powerpoints for each lecture. Do you know how confusing it is to listen to him ramble about whatever for 50 minutes?! He also hates answering questions. He will actually yell at you if you ask a question, which is embarrassing.

He was pretty dull at times, but had some funny moments. I thought he was very helpful. The TA was SO strict on grading, but Fourakis was fair. Go to class. Quizzes quite often, but those are easy. Drops the two lowest. Do your homework too!

He offers a lot of extra credit on the quizzes and tests. Also, he drops the lowest of the 4 quiz scores. Lecture is very boring and he can be a grouch when you ask a clarification question. But information is very straightforward.
