Incredibly boring, incredibly confusing. Clearly does not know how to connect with students. Often goes from one topic to the next without any resolution or clear transition. Luckily, all the assignments are take home, including the tests, so you can use the textbook to help you heavily with your grade. Avoid him if you aren't a math major

He is the most boring professor in the world. I had to stop coming to class because it was too painful. Luckily, the textbook explains the material way better than he does, so the class was fine. Exams were take-home, which was great.
