i am actually in his 157 class and although it started off a bit boring, his lectures are quite interesting. He is a very fair grader and the reading he gives us to do are mainly ethnography which is way better than reading weber and marx all day :) He is always available to talk and is very interested in what students have to say. Although the only down fall with this class is that you may not be able to ask questions or comment during his lectures as he never gives you that opportunity. Overall, nice class, not easy but not terribly hard...and try to take tara as your ta, she is super sweet and helps you write the papers when your stuck.
