The most difficult part of the course was just figuring out what you needed to do. Directions were unclear, nonexistent, or posted twice with significant differences. Other than that the class was super easy, and Tony was pretty easy going. Most, if not all, got an A, and the presentations weren't stressful. No exams, just a semester long project.Rate My Professors ↗
