Awesome
After taking Professor Rudyk in my freshman year I can say that he is my favorite teacher here. He's passionate about the subject and you're exposed to a different way of thinking about it. While he is a tough grader, you have the chance to revise your work so it isn't terrible. I'd make sure to take his class again.
