Such a great professor. He made the topic very interesting. He has quite a dry sense of humor, but he makes us all laugh every class. Most enjoyable lecture I took this semester! There is a lot of reading, but it's all pretty interesting content, and his reviews of the readings are super interesting!Rate My Professors ↗

One of the best instructors I've ever had. At the beginning of the course he wasn't very clear about how to structure papers and what he wanted in them, but after he graded the first papers he made it really clear what he wanted and it was super easy to get an A if you put in the work. He has a really dry sense of humor and it's hilarious.Rate My Professors ↗

I haven't seen his T&A in a few years. But it was solid. He's the kind of teacher who wouldn't send you home for not bringing a hat to baseball practice.Rate My Professors ↗
