Definitely an intelligent academic and passionate guy. However, lectured the entire class and only 3 assignments: 2 papers and final. No review, no resources. Provided little feedback on assignments and wasn't too helpful in office hours. Grading expectations seemed high as well.

great guy + interesting lectures, but very hard exams + tons of reading (that you thankfully don't really need to do)
