He's a good guy, just doesn't spend enough time connecting points and answering questions.  You will need a good TA or just read the textbook.",

The concepts become jumbled and his powerpoint slides do not help for studying. He tends to focus on just a few things a lot but will test harshly on everything. You need a good TA for his class.",
