Comment:

Good teacher who knows a lot on the subject he's teaching. Tests are leniently graded and grades are curved. Classes do tend to get rather monotonous due to the mathematical proofs which makes it hard to do homework. But he's always available for help if you are ever struggling.

Took relativity with him. Great teacher, does all of the proofs on the board, which is very helpful. Also does example problems. Make it very clear and easy to understand. Had a harsh grader for a TA, but his tests were leniently graded.

All he does is proofs all day. No real examples with numbers and stuff.
