He clearly stated when something was important vs fun-fact. That said, don't expect to get 100% without attending, but if you attend, chat with him a bit, youll do very well. He loves chicken",

The content isnt bad and the slides arent info heavy, but when we dont have to remember something for an exam he tells us and gives us clear instructions on what to study. Love Ron. Hes the best. ",
