Exceptionally good teacher! I learned a ton. The subject is tough but he makes it real and understandable... no small feat! Great lectures and lots of extra help. I was sorry when the class ended. Make sure you take this teacher. Move your schedule around to make room for his class.

Comment:

One of the best professors I've ever had. If not one of the best, then the best. Lectures are straightforward. He uses those 50 minutes more efficiently than anyone else I know. Homeworks are more difficult than exams, and discovery projects are not as bad as I thought they'd be. Nothing bad to say about him

Comment:

Really good advisor, but if he coadvies with Professor Demetry then she runs the show and IQP will stink. Good professor, good advisor, very unfair when giving grades...does not grade like other professors, makes up his own grading rules.

He's a great professor and a decent guy to deal with. But then again, he tells you that at the beginning of every class.

Quite possibly the greatest advisors ever. Not only is he approachable, but he's clear about objectives and a good all-around guy. I'd highly recommend a course taught by him or as a project advisor.
