He really knows what he's talking about and cares that you understand the material. His lectures are fairly interesting and he likes to talk to students. Really cool guy! Unfortunately, he gives tons of assignments and you're always reading for this class.

Really great person and genuinely cares about his students but SOOO much reading and unnecessary busy work. Had him for 187IR as well, the longest most dense reading assignments and the seminars were pretty boring.

Do not take his class. Lots of work but ABSOLUTE MEANINGLESS. HATE IT.

A decent lecturer and a helpful professor when you have questions, but boy he's inconsiderate about your life outside his class. Very antsy about extensions, despite the midterm and paper deadlines being unreasonable for most of his students' schedules, and not very grateful for our time/attention. The presentations were fun and engaging though.

Take his classes if you want to wake up at 8 in the morning and sit through a 3hr lecture where half of it is him patrolling the room tryna see if his ridiculous method of forcing meaningless discussions is any good. He calls the papers research paper but its just "researching" from his readings he feeds you every week. 350 letters is not enough.

A kind person up close, but a terrible professor. His assignments and approach to attendance show an utter lack of respect for the lives of students outside his class. Tons of readings, exams and research papers are inflated to guarantee feeling like busywork, and boring lectures. Miss lecture twice and you're threatened with an automatic fail.
