Awesome
Really cares about his job, and he teaches a whole bunch of classes. Cares about his students as well, holding office hours until 12am, and giving very prompt email replies at all times. A bit soft-spoken, but a clear lecturer who is very capable of explaining the concepts in class. Apart from all of this he's a very nice person.

Awesome
Professor Maxwell really cares deeply about his students, way more than any other teacher I've had. He heads to Boston on Marathon Monday, runs the entire marathon, comes back over to Maine, and has office hours from 10:00 PM to what he considers "Late". Really just an exemplary professor. The lectures aren't the most exciting thing, but his dedication really shines through.
