Comment:

Pretty much the best teacher since Socrates. Thirty years later I can still quote from his lecture on Dante's Inferno: And on the bottom of the lake ...) Every student thinks of him every time they walk into a gothic cathedral. Thank you Dr. Ford.

He is a very hard teacher who grades very hard. I filled out a whole test comprehensively and thoroughly and only got a 29/100. Stay away

Comment:

I was worried about this class at first, but prof ford is a great teacher. His tests aren't that hard if you do the reading study guides, take good notes, and go to class. If you do that, this class will be worth it because he is a gifted and extremley knowledgeable professor.
