Awful

Being in his class is like watching a programming youtube tutorial with the volume off. He doesn’t explain things well and he will laugh for no reason at all. He also gets upset if you ask too many questions. He literally reads code off the slides and does things assuming that everyone will understand it. Don't choose him please.
