Comment:

I like this prof, and enjoyed the riddles every class. I found the tests to be killer. The one thing I didn't like about him was the fact he owned the same sweater I did, and he wore it every class, so I could never wear it. This was a couple of years ago.

Very nice and witty guy. He might have an obsession with tennis balls though. Oh, and yellow is his favourite colour. This class lets you think of things in ways you probably didn't before.

Comment:

if you take good notes and actually read the material, this course should be simple. the problem sets are based pretty much on what he says in class, with some questions from the readings. i managed all As in his class

Comment:

I've had this guy twice. His method of evaluation is crazy easy... group projects and instead of essays, we got problem sets, which were basically regurgitating the stuff he said in class... So if you go to class and take some decent notes, you'll ace it.

If you want an A+, get him. If you want to learn, get someone else.
