Comment:

He's very demanding, but that's the point of college, isn't it? More professors should be this way. Too many professors expect too little from their students these days, and in the end it only hurts the students.

Comment:

Hated him the first two weeks, but he mellowed a bit. he is a little wierd about things like notes or cell phones ringing in class, but i agree with previous comments that he is passionate about his teaching. probably my favorite class of the semester, passed with an A, but with much much studying.

True, he is difficult, but you will learn a lot from him. If you can pass his class, you can probably succeed in life. This was not my favorite class, but this is my favorite professor.

Comment:

This is the worst professor I have ever had. The only thing he's good at is flunking his students, and at least half will. If you do take this class, make sure you go expecting very little help from the professor. Count on a very frustrating experience.
