Expecting an A

Fun and kind teacher. Can be hard to follow at times since he talks fast, his lectures are full of slides (he skips a lot too), and he often goes on side stories about all sorts of things. Really easy to get an A, he’s very lenient with homework, and the exams aren’t too difficult either. You can tell that he is incredibly passionate about imaging, which is definitely a plus.

For context, I am a student who thrives on structure, and this man is anything but structured. He gives homework, and then when you ask him questions on the homework, its wrong because you couldnt fully explain your question because he talked right over you. His exams are not fantastically written, and he struggles to communicate expectations with TA grading, so the grades can be all over the place. The only content I truly retained was the content from professors presenting out of the classroom via zoom. He is a fun man, but his teaching practices and expectations are kind of weird and difficult to work with from the student perspective.
