This professor does have this horrible mmp, sound but hey, he is understandable, he does read from the book but it helps those of u who did not read. When it comes to test's he doesn't explain well n when u go to his office hours he treats u like if ur dumb or u don't do your work. Ur better off not going to his office cuz u'll leave more confused

I'm really worried, as are most of my classmates, that this professor might keel over mid-"lecture". He just reads out of the book and stammers and doesn't explain what we need to know at all. I can't even concentrate because he keeps "mmm"-ing after every sentence. Not a single person has even raised their hand in my class. Skip if possible.

Worst class I have taken at UCSB, he offers no room for discourse or critical thinking, EXTREMELY boring lectures, completely arbitrary grading system. Will not talk to you about your grade in office hours, even if it is obvious he made point calculation errors. AVOID take a 110a substitute class for the major instead.

The best course I've taken at UCSB. Great teacher and friendly to students. Has a bit of a stamering problem when he speaks, but if you're interested in the material you won't have a problem. The class was for lack of a better word, easy. Take his course knowing if you do the reading you'll get an "A."

Wow I have never taken a more boring class. He does make that wierd "mmmh" sound after just about every word. 40% of your grade midterm and then 60% of it for the final!!!, and it will take him a month just to get the midterm back to you. Avoid this class, all he does is read out of the book anyway.

Definitely skip this class. He does a weird noise or says "mmhuh" after each sentence. He does not grade fairly and takes him forever to return his tests.
