He cares about his students, but his teaching style is ineffective for anybody who expects the professor to actually TEACH. His class is for people who have already learned the material and want to learn shortcuts for the exam. If you haven't already taken the MLC, or haven't studied extensively for it, don't expect to learn the concepts. Expect for him to race through practice problems referring to formulas that he shortly introduced in the first 5 minutes of class as handouts were being passed around. Lets put it this way... you'll either love him, or you'll hate him.
