We are very lucky to have a walking textbook as a teacher at a community college- who has such a great sense of humor ;) Dr Taft is and always will be my favorite teacher.

Comment:

I've had him for 2 years and he's one of the best professors that I've ever had. He makes useful info interesting and fun. He doesn't rely on the textbook at all, but explains everything in class, so attendance is mandatory. If you're into music, take his theory class.

Burns is an amazing teacher. He makes the class interesting and he's really funny too! Definitely the best teacher I have ever had! Attendance isn't mandatory but you have to go in order to understand the material. He doesn't rely on the text books but they're good to have as a reference.
