He provides handouts that you can fill out while he goes through the lecture, which are very helpful for taking notes. Additionally, he is very accessible with his office hours or piazza and can effectively clear up any misconceptions.",

He waits to introduce new material until after exams. Unfortunately, Madison may lose a great teacher if he moves to Milwaukee.",
