Comment:
I found his lectures boring and tiresome for most of the term, though I was suffering from a lack of sleep at the time. But near the end of the course everything clicked together and I noticed how well he had taught the material. A hint, don't forget anything from Math 200 until AFTER the 1st midterm

Comment:
"I spent all of last class proving this. Just to emphasize how easy it is, let me prove it to you again." Oh yeah, it's THAT slow. Other than that, he's kind of endearing I guess.

Comment:
He's very slow. Backtracks half a lecture and then goes off tangent. Being a grad course it's more like a journey than a course. Really cares about students understanding the material. Aside from the pace, his lectures are enjoyable.

I don't think that he has ever even taken the course that he is teaching. He keeps forgetting where he is.
