CollegeWonderful Professor
Casey is such a cool dude. His classes were quite laid back, and focused less on memorizing out of date words and more on how one would actually use the proper lexicon in society. You learn as much as you like in his class, so be prepared to apply yourself if you want to get the most out of it. He'll also take you skydiving if you ask!
Casey is the dude.
One of the funniest and most engaging teachers I have ever had. He is very helpful and the class is low pressure.
Casey is wonderful. He is my favorite German professor at UCSB by far. Very laid-back, and he is really funny! Makes learning German fun.
Casey is completely excellent. Like, dang, this class was incredibly helpful, entertaining, and laid back. I've never been so consistently excited to attend class. Homework is due every class, but is generally easy and solidifies your understanding. We had one small project, a midterm, and a final exam. Very straightforward. 10/10 would take again.
