Phenomenal instructor. Very fair gentleman and truly wanted his students to succeed. Difficult content material but if you paid attention and put in the work, you will do fine. If you dodged trying to avoid him, this is your loss.

Nice guy, but he's losing touch. Between snow days and cancellations, we missed 6+ classes and never made them up. Not clear with instructions. No one knew what was going on.

Give him a break - he's had a hectic semester due to merger. When it comes to teaching, he's one of the best at SNESL.

Comment:

he canceled 3 classes, never made up, covered half the sylabus. He used two and half class periods to lecture about our lack effort in making appointments with the academic support services during a two week period, in which one week she was not available, and the other week our entire class had double make-up classes every day.

Comment:

Many avoid him based on feedback from others that the class is hard and unpassable. If you avoid him, your only hurting yourself. Great Teacher, approachable, takes time to explain. Its a tough class but he does a great job of explaining this tough topic. Don't cheat yourself and avoid this class.

Excellent prof. Takes a highly technical subject area & breaks it down thoroughly. In addition, he's also a great instructor for Civil Procedure.
