I love this professor. People who say he jumps around a lot are not paying enough attention to the things he's saying. He simply knows a lot about his subject, so he squeezes it all into lectures! I think he's extremely engaging. He is also very approachable and the nicest professor I've ever had. Easy class, and he's really supportive.

I'm sure it differs for every student but in my honest opinion, he's great. During lecture he might jump around on topics but more than makes up for it in helpfulness outside of class. Taken him as a TA for multiple classes and now as a professor, you'll do really good if you put in and show effort. Go to his office hours! hes super nice!

His powerpoints are very scattered and he flies through them, so don't even try to copy them down. He seems like a nice guy but his class was repetitive and a little dull. He provides a lot of extra credit opportunity. Overall, I would say he is just an average professor.

Honestly, one of the worst teachers I've had at this university. So jumpy and random in lecture, can't hear him, powerpoints are horrible, sends out 54854393 emails every day. So bad he makes interesting subject matter boring as hell. Has no idea what hes doing. Avoid this class!!!

He's definitely nice and helpful. A bit conceited. Not sure if he's gonna b teaching this class after this quarter. Lectures r interesting, lots of reading, but a very informative and fascinating class. I recommend it regardless of ur major.

Great TA, follows the guidelines for the class and stays on task. Easy grader and very helpful. Tells you what you need to know, and to the point! Highly recommend as a TA for ES1.
