The chillest and a well respected professor you'll ever meet. Meet him halfway and you'll do well. He's also more than a fair grader and pay attention to materials that are repeated. 25% participation, 25% homework, 25% midterm, and 25% final.

I really liked this professor as he was definitely passionate about the topic. He definitely encourages participation, which makes a really boring class topic much more interesting. His slides almost have no info except an outline, so pay attention or you can the ready the textbook. Otherwise, you won't use the textbook in class.

Respectable professor, makes you change the way you look at things. Make sure you read the textbook because his slides are only a brief outline of the topics. His midterm/final both have a take-home portion(25%). The in-class(75%) midterm was difficult, mostly short answers. In-class(75%) final was mostly multiple choice with some short answers.

If you get a low mark on something, bring it up to him. He's accommodating but only if you speak up. Attendance policy was silly: 5 roll-calls randomly taken which account for 12% of your grade. 10/10 would take again though. Somewhat tough but wants you to pass. Midterm 25% Final 25% Assignments 25% Participation 12.5% Attendance 12.5%
