Awesome
He is an incredible professor who understands his things through years of private experience of his own. This class I strongly suggest!

Good
Overall, class wasn't bad. Because of the manner he lectures, I just personally found it difficult to concentrate in his lesson. He ran through the slides quickly, thus I had to do a lot of studying and self-teaching/research outside of class. The use of clicker questions in class, as well as the group exam, was beneficial though. He is kind, but you must put in some effort.
