He is a very knowledgable professor and always ready to help. But as a human being he needs help too. So, as long as a student is ready to help, he will go above and beyond to help him back.

I think he made this class a lot harder and more confusing than it had to be. Lectures were kind of all over the place, and tests were extremely difficult. Really bad with technology too, to the point where it became a distraction (how did this man survive online teaching in 2020??). Very nice man, but I wouldn't take him again.
