One word: hated him and his subject. Stupidest course I have ever seen. Class discussions were about trivia in life ranging from biology (how many sex a stupid insect has) to greek mythology. This doesn't even qualify as a real CS subject. I was so bored in the class that I stopped attending them. At some point he found out that I wasn't interested in the course and doing it for degree requirements and decided to give me a bad grade. I can live with that but I just wish I hadn't wasted n number of hours of my life taking this non-CS class and doing its assignments. The most disappointing aspect was his way of teaching: pose a stupid trivia question nobody knows or cares about and try to justify his supremacy over others. Sure you get an easy A in this course. However, what they say about grad courses being fun doesn't include this course.
