Love him, but you cannot skip class. Super funny, and I learned a lot. Get ready to listen to some music at the end of the semester. He even agreed to be a reference for me!

Quality 5/5Difficulty 3/5

Great, charismatic professor with a cool Nigerian accent. Class was really interesting despite lasting for 2.5 hrs! Guided discussions really well. Some of the plays were boring or confusing but better once you actually got to class to discuss them. Attendance is mandatory but I actually looked forward to the class so this wasn't a big deal.

Quality 4/5Difficulty 1/5

A really nice guy, but he didn't take AF 297 seriously. Because of that, the class was incredibly easy and also not always interesting. He rarely had slides at all, and didn't have much of a plan. BUT, he clearly knows what he's talking about and is very likable. Attendance is mandatory, and you can only miss one class without a grade reduction.
