Some days he is good at teaching, others not. Some days he is gone to a telescope or conference and just cancels class or has someone fill in. Some days he is really awkward, others really nice. Although he does a good job of getting across the basic ideas, the details (which the homework and tests are based off of) he is not so good with. The tests are pretty tough and there is not enough time for them. No reason to avoid him, but I wouldn't take a class just because he is teaching it.
