 When you ask for help he insults you and tells you to go read the instructions

 Pros: All his notes are available online
Cons: Doesn't explain very well, moves very fast through the chapters
The average exam grades were around 50% and he never curves exams.

 Pros: He is always asking students for suggestions on how to improve the class. He is very knowledgeable and can answer almost any question you give him. Records lectures for you.
Cons: He goes WAAAAAAY to fast, but that is probably more because of the limited time. Going to class can be pointless, except for asking any questions, attendance, or participation, because most of the questions are from the book and he basically repeats what the book says.
Very challenging!

 He knows the material well and can usually teach it well in class. He does go through the book quickly, though, so keep up with his pace. Although I didn't mind him so much as a teacher, he assigned way too much busy work. It seemed like I had something to do for the class every day and it usually was something easy just to force you to look at material. Also, six midterms was a bit much. Do all the extra credit and you can make up about 5% of your final grade.
