He's a good guy! he is a stickler for taking notes on paper instead of on google docs, but that's not too much of a hassle. he does offer recorded lectures if you have a sufficient enough reason, and he's pretty good about responding to emails. if you can, try and take Birch as the TA for this course. she makes everything twice as easier.
Prof Jurkowski is honestly one of the best lecturers at this place. He is so passionate about what he is teaching. He made me so excited to go to class everyday. Truly cares about us and how we are. Could not recommend enough. Midterm and final were writing tests, but they were the study guide verbatim. I LOVE THIS MAN.
