As some already said, you’re not going to get PowerPoint slides, and he only really writes key things or terms on the board, so the bulk of your notes will need to be from what you think is important during the lecture. He makes it pretty obvious, to me, the point he is making, so if you’ve done the reading and are paying attention to the lecture, you will do fine. The final exam was a little difficult, but only because the second portion was a short (like 5 standard paragraph) in-class essay and I just always feel I do badly on timed writing assignments, even if I don’t. The other 3 writing assignments throughout the course weren’t very difficult. Overall, the course was really interesting, and I really didn’t mind his teaching style.

The most rambling, convoluted lectures I’ve ever had the misfortune to sit through. Meandering, irrelevant, and devoid of anything even remotely interesting. The final exam composed of questions just regurgitating whatever he managed to spew out during the lectures. Do not take.

This guy lectures for the entire duration of class with no slides and is super monotone, then expects you to remember everything he said including his thoughts on it and regurgitate those thoughts in exams. He is also a rude personality and acts petty when he dislikes a student. Don’t take him, not worth your time!
