Comment:

I've never had a professor more hilarious, more intellectually engaging, more caring than Henry Sussman. Sometimes, he is incomprehensible. At others, he explodes your brain and puts it back together again. He riffs like Thelonious Monk. It's absolutely inspiring.

Comment:

Sussman's class is what you put into it. If you want to breeize through a class, maybe he's an easy A, but if you want to work hard and really learn something, no one will help you more. He is brilliant, open-minded, and absolutely motivates you to think differently and do better. Probably my most influential professor at Yale.

Comment:

he is vain, and can be vengeful, if he thinks you didnt admire his pontifications, which tend to be woolly. So think of something pleasant, and glue an interested smile on your face.

He is a font of vapid new-agey ****. He is a very nice professor. If you value niceness in your professor this is the guy for you. (He is an easy A.)
