Readings are frequently bland and/or dated. Michael is a nice guy but his lectures are taken verbatim from the readings- AKA pretty bland too. He tries to spice it up with an overwhelming amount of images & clipart smashed into his powerpoints- but that doesn't help much. Skip either the readings or Lectures & you'll be fine if you stay awake.
