Comment:

If he does not like you, or if you go against his opinion once, you are not getting an A in the class. His grading is completely unfair. If you and someone else put the same answer, you will get a 75 for not being specific enough and the other person gets a 100. He also gives you 200 pages a week to read. Take another Honors course if possible.

Comment:

He really cares about his students and wants them to succeed. It isn't necessarily mandatory to do the readings, I didn't and wound up with a B+, but would've gotten an A- or an A if I did better on my paper. He wants to make sure students are entertained while making sure that they are learning.

Comment:

The material is interesting but the class is hard. He doesn't grade easily at all. It is not hard to pass this class but it is super hard to get an A or even A-. His exam comes from very detailed material during his lecture. I feel regretful taking this class. I am A or A- student, but I probably will get like a B or B+ in this class most.

Most of his exams came from his lecture notes so attendance is a must. As long as you go and take notes you can easily prepare for exams.
