CollegePretty good
I really liked Ken's lecture style - he tried to make the material engaging, and always seemed like he was in a good mood, despite the early class time. The exams, being entirely essay-style, were difficult, but the questions were exactly like the homework questions. My only complaint is how strict the grading was based on very specific criteria.
Ken is a grad student and clearly has not taught many if any classes before. His lectures are OK and his tests are word for word exactly his hw questions. His rubric for grading exams is completely random as he looks for extremely specific topics he mentions once in his lectures. Taking his tests are quite literally rolling the dice.
