He is a very good prof. He knows what he's doing, the homework is reasonable. The only bad part is the tests are unpredictable even with a study guide. He is very nice, humerous and understanding.

Comment:
In general, Math 100 was a waste of time. However, this professor made it worse... when my roommate and I went to ask about the differences in our test scores he spoke to us disrespected us. He ended up yelling at us, told my roomate that her dad (an engineer) knew nothing about math, and made me cry...

Comment:
His lectures are rather dry and boring. He doesn't do a very thorough job of explaining the topics. His attempts to explain the material usually differ from the book. To put it another way, his lectures don't correspond very closely to the book. That makes it really hard to learn the material. If you have the option, I'd recommend a different prof.
