I loved prof medina, he is so smart and very funny. The classes are both lecture and participation heavy, but it's not difficult to maintain an A. Lots of readings but all very very interesting!

It is very difficult to stay engaged with his lectures. There is not much discussion and it is pretty lecture heavy. Easy grader however.
