Comment:

He really does have a ton of knowledge, but when it comes down to it, he's no longer sharp enough to be a good prof. The semester was filled with mistakes in his notes. If we didn't have a very good textbook, nothing would've been properly learned. A good guy, but needs to retire.

Comment:

Worst prof I've ever had. Lecture notes are horrible, he does not explain things clearly and always gets his examples wrong. You need to read the book in order to figure out what is going on. The only plus side is that his tests are pretty easy. If you actually want to learn something don't take a class from him. He needs to retire.

Comment:

Interesting prof to chat with. Lecture notes were bad, and he made a lot of mistakes in his examples, but if you can learn from a textbook you're fine. Assignments were reasonable for length and difficulty. Midterm and final provided more than enough time, mostly short answer (explain/compare). Textbook optional, but fills in gaps from lectures.

Comment:

He was a decent teacher, but he really made me mad when he continually lost his temper to two girls who asked lots of questions. I don't know if he was **** or **** or just thought they weren't smart, but he got really mean.

Great guy, explains concepts well, and an easy marker. Caught me with some unexpected stuff on the final though.
