He's a really nice guy and he cares most about student success than anything else. His lectures are ok, he uses slides half the time and writes on the board half the time. The homework is easy. The midterm exam was insanely hard, but he graded it super leniently, and gave points based on comprehension not accuracy.

The slides were always informative, but the presentation of content was a little chaotic and some things were unnecessarily mentioned that complicated everything.

Homework is assigned unpredictably, sometimes with less than a week to complete. Assignments on old material can be due just before finals. Exams are more difficult than what's poorly taught in class. Practice tests and homework keys are often wrong.
