Reviews of professor Michael Light

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
His class is interesting but I'd suggest you have prior knowledge to catch up his lecture. He is not the grader, so the other person is a grader who is a tough grader with unclear grading criteria which it finds odd in this class. There is no ranging grade like C  76-82, it has only the single grade C76 or B82, so your grade is dropped easily.

Mike is awesome. Super funny and really committed to his students and his research. He truly loves what he studies and it shows. His lectures are engaging and his tests are VERY FAIR. The material is super interesting as well. He is respectful and cautious especially since he has to teach some tough material. He is really awesome. Highly recommend!

I've taken three of his classes and I've loved every one of them. He teaches you things that you need to know, things that will help educate you in life outside of the classroom. Such valuable information, amazing lectures, he doesn't bore you with irrelevant stuff. One of those professors that truly cares. Favorite at UW-Madision.

Engaging professor and involves discussion with the class in lectures. He made an effort to get to know us which I appreciated. Sometimes he has a little bit of a superiority vibe to him but easy enough to ignore that. He does lecture fast and expects you to know numbers. The class was interesting and tests are fair (he has reviews for each).
