Comment:
A bit of a trouble-maker (but I mean that fondly -- he enjoys presenting aspects of relativity that make people squirm). In general, good teacher.

Comment:
He's a great professor. His lectures are funny and very clear. The one problem I had was that he tended to spend a lot of class time mathematically deriving concepts, and it sometimes slowed the class down a bit. Other than that, he's great, and especially good in recitation.

His lectures tend to jump around a bit too much.

Enthusiastic lecturer, but not the clearest at the board. Loves answering questions, and makes sure that the asker understands before moving on.
