Comment:

I dont know why everone says to avoid this guy. He is actually very funny in class. If you pay attention he is not that hard. The class just requires a lot of work, He is strict about doing HW but in the end only labs and tests count.

Comment:

Hard to understand, no communication skills, believes in negative credit (you can lose more points on a test question than it is worth). Avoid at all costs, because if you have to retake the class during the summer he will be the guy you'll see again.

Comment:

Weird guy. He has several phrases such as "something like that" or "whatever" that fill about half of his lecture. He is a horrible grader that does not believe in error carried forward. He is hilarious though. If you want comic relief, sign up for his class, otherwise, avoid him at all costs.

Comment:

Horrible prof. Unclear lectures. He lectures to the chalkboard, not to the class. Goes too fast. Tests are long. Tests are hard. VERY unfair grader. Doesn't give error carried forward. Will take off like 20pts for wrong units in your answer. Find another prof cuz you'd probably get an A in there.

Horrible with a capital "O." Unfair grader and writes undescriptive MAPRs with no chance of survival. Lastly, he talks like sylvester.
