His pop quizzes are easy as long as you listen in class (they are open book). Also his midterm and final were pretty good as long as you studied. Don't buy the tophat.",

The tests are fair, and the project he assigned was not too bad. He made Insurrance fun and inresting, and I would reccomend anybody interested take his class.",

Very knowledgeable and helpful when you ask a question in class. Quizzes are graded pretty harshly and the exams aren't fun either. Group project is a breeze. OK class/prof overall.",
