This professor is the nicest one I've met on campus. He really loves teaching and could talk about this class all day (in a good way). I'm not an A&O major, but he explained everything really well and is always welcoming and understanding of the student's situation as long as you communicate. Classes were not mandatory, but I'd suggest going to them at least to listen and feel the vibe since he only provides the slides on canvas (only provides recording if there is an excused absence). His midterm and final allowed notes, but they are in a short answer format, so it is important to understand concepts! Love this professor and would take again if I was an A&O major.
