Quality 5/5Difficulty 1/5
Greatest professor at UW-Madison. He has the best jokes I have ever heard, is an honest(but really quite easy) grader. Plus he understands that you have classes way more important than his, very relaxed with due dates and just a great professor overall.

Pretty good professor. Makes points from different perspectives and is very though provoking. He is a quirky man and makes lame, funny jokes. Really loosely structured class. he sets due dates then changes them. I recommend him for this class. He teaches neat stuff.

If you dont take Ross for 397, you messed up. There is a reason it's so hard to register for his sections. Wait until you get this man.

Pretty sure he's The Dude all grown up, man. Makes some pretty quirky comments. Very easy grader, even he admits it. Flexible due dates, plenty of time for assignments. Repeats jokes ("The beatings will continue until morale improves" was my favorite)

Quality 3/5Difficulty 2/5
Has a lot of interesting things to say. He is very absent minded and will forget things you tell him and will not respond to emails or even read them. Deadlines never set in stone

He was one of the most though provoking teachers that I have had. I you decide to take the course seriously you can get a lot out of it otherwise why are you even going to college.
