Pros: He is very intelligent and know what he is talking about. His exams are easy as long as you read the book.
Cons: His lectures are boring, so i never went to them and still received an A in the class because I read the book.

Pros: All 3 of the homework assignments can be found online
Cons: This is the worst class I've ever taken. He's extremely arrogant. He over announciates words, "eeeeeeeelastic". He talks down to his students everyday. He makes the class sound easy, 3 tests, 25, 25, and 50 points and 3 extra credit homework assignments worth 10 points each. What he doesn't tell you is the EC is divided by 10, so there's a max of 3 EC points, not 30.
I'm majoring in teaching of math and he specifically mentioned "lowly high school teachers". He is extremely arrogant and has no concern for his students. We're all cretins that eat hamburgers and can't afford to ride the Metra.
