If you liked Saturday morning cartoons as a kid you will love this guy. He moves in ways I didn't think possible for a human being. His enthusiasm for a subject i think is boring made me really interested in it. He is a professor who isn't just there to give a lecture, he presents himself as a real human being.

Negative:
So pretty much, I disagree with everything the other person posted. This prof is one weird fellow. He never waits for people to volunteer answers; he just calls on people. If they try to tell him they don't know the answer, he'll say oh but I think you do. His exams are hard too. They're essay questions, the class would be much easier if they were just multiply choice. As a sidenote, he once told us that he had some "sexy pics" of mt. st. helens!! what was he thinking??? he also likes to jump around and make weird noises, i think to try to enhance his lectures. who knows.
