Comment:
He's an alright professor. He gives a fair number of examples, and the videos helped me to understand the material. His tablet is a piece of sh** though. At least 5 minutes of every lecture was wasted with him fiddling with it. He has a propensity to give midterms which have questions only involving variables, and not numbers. This is silly.

Enjoys a failing average on midterms. Midterms have questions that we wont know the answer (especially in multiple choice) and nearly everybody does not have enough time to finish.
