Carl is an amazing lecturer and person. He is realistic in his approach as if he has been a student before. His weekly online quizzes are not overly difficult yet they encourage you to participate and actually learn the content.

Comment:

One of my favourites. Sharp, engaged, clear, not anti-social, always gave problems and theory. Seemed comfortable both with the abstract and concrete. What really impressed me was how adaptable he was to student problems and needs (meaning review, further explanations, multimedia presentations, etc.). Get him if you can.
