Truly Iconic professor. Finding another one of his students is an instant connection. Had us to his house for dinner, had amazing classes week in and week out. Passionate, funny, smart. Take for the experience.

Great teacher, and very knowledgeable writer. He's absolutely hilarious. Yes he is political and speaks a lot about politics, but even if you disagree with him he is respectful and won't knock your grade or dislike you as a person. Would absolutely recommend.
