Good
I really enjoyed Prof. Willis' class. Make sure you study the readings ahead of time because he gives surprise quizzes. You are graded on participation and attendance as well. As long as you read and show up, you'll easily get an A. Other than this, his tests are really easy.
Awesome
Professor Willis is an amazing professor. I used to actually look forward to going to his class. He was a great lecturer and he made the class so much fun. You get in a lot of learning without overexerting yourself. Just sign up for the class already!
