Comment:

Awful professor. Too much focus on theory over practice, no interest in student concerns, and incredibly monotonous teaching style. Take the course with Welch instead.

Comment:

Designs his course to make sure you get a B or worse: no curve, 90% required for A. 30% of grade = hw clique grade: good luck finding someone to unfairly collaborate with; otherwise you will work very hard on them to get <90% scores. Voice is hard to listen to. Midterm + final are NOT easy just b/c you did the HW. Scheduled impossible final at 9AM.

Comment:

he might be the devil. He is a poor lecturer, does not treat people who ask him questions well and gives alot of work that he is a jerk about about....PS he doesn't curve his tests and those homeworks are near impossible.....enjoy!
