Comment:

No one ever went to class and its no wonder why, they were really boring. And if you read the reader, got his lectures..you could figure out whats going on anyways. If you go to class you'll jus be sleeping or off in space anyways. Watch out for the final..know your stuff, its not easy. For his papers, the man loves numbers.

Just stay on his good side - he is the director after all. You might get disturbed when you notice how much he talks to himself, particularly when he's walking alone outside of class.

Comment:

The man is a genius to begin with. So when you see him, it looks like he's playing a game of chess in his brain. His notes are way too long, and he rambles on unnecessarily. But he is fairly helpful. Don't get on his bad side!

Every faculty needs its John Nash's. In his own world, maybe from "MARS". A wealth of information. Makes Planning dynamic! Approachable. The easiest exam I ever wrote. Loves graphs! Great asset to the U!

This man should not be our director. Knowing that I may have to interact with him at some point in my career makes me not want to be in planning. Thanks for nothing Jim.

Extremely smart, sometimes talks to himself which is scary, for a director and a guy who has money, he sure dresses shabby!!
