Given the other choices for 157 profs, he is your best bet. He will go to any lengths to help you, you just have to go up and ask. His exams are Exactly what he says they will be. I went from an F to a B+ because of him.

Comment:

Super nice guy, funny, but very difficult to understand him and his writing is so ugly and hard to read! But I agree that he does care for his students and he's willing to review material until you understand. But exams were hard and he didn't let us use

Comment:

His lectures are horrible. It doesn't help much attending his lectures. Forget it. Just stay home and read the textbooks on your own. But I would say his midterms and finals are far more difficult than the sample questions in the texts. Good luck.

He didn't really respond to my emails... but if you talk to him he seems quite helpful. OH! His marking is sort of strange too...
