"The best lecturer by far I've head. Spends time out of class editing lecture videos that are easy to follow and high in quality. Thoroughly enjoyed his approach to teaching the class in a calm manner. Goes through every niche detail for those having a hard time understanding. A trait I haven't seen from any other lecturers. Creates a personal connection from week 1 and knows everyone by their name and where they're from which I really appreciated. Also highly knowledgeable in his field."
