He seems like a new professor? He couldn't teach at all I gave up going to lecture until he told us he was gonna give out pop quizzes, and even then I didn't really learn anything from lecture. You have to read the book, but he doesn't even go by the book !? I did pretty good in 109A but I failed miserably in this class, most people failed I reckon

Don't bother going to class however, not going won't help you either. Lectures straight from the textbook, explains nothing, and then tests on other difficult material he never explained, knowing the class didn't understand. Gave quizzes halfway through the course then decided not to anymore. Failed half the class, worst instructor I've ever had.

Knowledgeable of subject, but can't teach. He writes everything from the book & says exactly what the book says. He teaches too quick & doesn't allow information to process. His exams are not reflective of what he teaches. The highest average of the 3 exams was 45%. He decided mid-quarter to give quizzes. He didn't pass the majority of his class.

Lectures right out of the book and tests are nothing like his lectures or the material he teaches
