Alan is a nice guy. however, the final project is not curved and he does not grade that easily. The instructions for the project were vague and general. My friends and I all got low grades on the project (between 70 - 75% on it) and that tanked our grades in the class.

Additionally, the midterm was multiple choice and missing one question could have an impact of a couple percentage points in your final grade in the class. One question on the midterm was the difference from a B+ and A- for me. i would go with a different professor because I think the path to a good grade would be easier / more guaranteed. however, if you are looking to learn the material, he is a great professor and he teaches with lots of enthusiasm. He knows his stuff.
