Winter 2020 - I think the previous review was written by the professor himself - it certainly reflects his speaking style. The professor is rude and uncaring. He is encumbered by his research and other responsibilities. He demonstrates favoritism early on in the course. I don't think this professor understands what teaching is really about - he takes "sage on the stage" pretty seriously, because you can tell his has a massive ego over his work. I didn't walk away from the course with concrete knowledge on the subject matter beyond what I could read on my own on the PowerPoints. I don't recommend at all. You would expect this quality professor elsewhere, not at a UC.
