I once heard someone describe this Professor as “very forgiving,” to which I would agree with this statement. He changed our grades after the quarter had ended, and I know in a past class at least he also has dropped the lowest quiz grade (in his classes there are typically 5 quizzes total with 5 questions each). He is a little critical of essays, so if you’re not a strong analytical writer like me then be careful taking this class. But to continue the things that I liked about the class and the professor is that I think his lectures are very interesting and deep. In total for this class I wrote 2 essays, took 5 quizzes, and had no midterm or final.
