Nice guy but not an experienced professor. He just read off the powerpoint and his notes, so didn't seem super prepared or knowledgable in the topic matter. I never went to class because of this and still managed to easily get an A.

Walker Kahn is an amazing professor. You can definitely tell he loves what he does. He is very understanding and is always there to help. This class can be very difficult if you don't go to lectures and discussions and there are a lot of readings but overall great professor and an interesting class.
