Comment:

I don't know what he was actually like becuase I was tought by Russian T.A.'s I think I saw him twice that semester. So if you want to take German make sure he is your teacher and that you don't get stuck with a Russian TA that is erection instead of reaction!

The best teacher I have ever had at UNI. Very good at dumbing things down so you can understand him and he doesn't leave anyone behind. Very helpful, very fun class. Everyone gets involved and enjoys being there.

Comment:

Speaks clearly and distinctly, actually pronounces every word. Uses lots of interactive exercises in class. Good motivation and interest for everyone. A pleasure to be in his class. Uses hot Russian graduate students for T&Th labs, but very professional.
