Sig did a great job arranging the course around guest lectures as we explored the foundations of liberal democratic theory and linked it to law. I got a lot out of our discussions on markets, tech, and academia. He has a fun demeanor and the class vibe corresponded to that.",

First: he doesn't use powerpoint, which I realize now makes sense given the skills he is teaching. He posts notes after class. Second, you perform better in his class overall than on his exams.",

It's helpful for anyone interested in the law, humanities, or just thinking about the world from a series of perspectives (laugh track). It took a while to understood how we were graded, but he was consistently supportive. Great course and great guy!",
