although his voice is quite boring and monotone, his lectures weren't all bad. i went to most lectures but also fell asleep a few times. he posts his powerpoint presentations the night before class so i usually printed them and wrote notes on them during lecture i started reading the book during first week but stopped because it seemed like he just repeats material from the book. i must admit that his multiple choice exams are quite tricky. it isn't too hard but the curve could mess you up. his grading is quite difficult as he uses zscores to determine your grade. the second half of the course is much harder though. i did not read anything and seemed to fall asleep more during his lectures. but just as long as you read his reader before the final you will be fine. the final is worth 50% so it is smart to at least cram anything you know. i had a B- going into the final and came out getting an A in the class. there are 3 quizes (highest two count), 1 midterm, and final. i learned that the harder the exam, the better chance you are going to get a better zscore and grade.
