About this rating

Raw average: 3.00/5 from 3 quality ratings. The adjusted rating blends this with the UW review average (3.66/5), weighted as 20 additional ratings. Smaller samples stay closer to that average. Each captured review is counted once in the prior; this does not correct who chooses to leave a review.

Quality 4/5Difficulty 1/5
Very nice guy but difficult to understand and hear at times. Understands when students are not AOS majors and grades accordingly on final project. It would be very difficult to fail this course as he wants students to succeed. Very knowledgeable and important in his field. Better scientist than a lecturer but he tries & is always there to answer ?s
