Professor Maniquis is not by any means the kind of person who can teach. He is a smart man, but a pompous and condescending man at that. He does not understand how to convey knowledge to a classroom full of students, which is evident through his lack of a lecture plan. His lectures consist of a conversation-like style, which is not revolutionary in the way that he approaches it. Professor Maniquis believes himself to be a genius, which is clearly proved to be false by taking his class. For him, teaching is a way of asserting authority, not conveying information, which reveals his insecurity.

Because he can speak French, he takes pride in bringing up unknown French terms that he does not describe, which he pleasures in pronouncing in a French accent. His arrogance is obnoxious and a distraction from the learning experience.

With all this said, unless you have no other option, do NOT take Maniquis.
