Don't trust his past comments; he's a completely different person now. His grading depends entirely on his mood, and his actual A-rate isn't even thirty percent. Honestly, he seems to hate his job.

Very easy grading, but this is the only reason I'm giving a 4. He forgot to post the instructions or the assignments so many times and the essay prompts were GTP-generated. And the instructions were not clear either bc there was one time when everyone did the assignment wrong. Avoid the asynchronous version of this class.
