Very knowledgeable but has no real world experience so content can be more academic.also tends to be biased with some students over others.

Pros: The videos he shows in class adds makes it much easier to stay focused in class. The videos are from the Colbert Report and the Daily Show with Jon Stewart. He also seems very passionate and knowledgeable about his subject.
Cons: Tests are VERY difficult. REVIEW ALL THE READING before taking the tests. In addition, I find that this professor might rely a little too much on his power points. Also, he seems to be very liberal so if you're conservative just be prepared to be exposed to different viewpoints.
