Professor Cummings is not a very good lecturer in class. However, i found him very helpful during office hours. I think he will be most helpful if you already have some idea of the material and want some elaboration. Hoeverer if you go to him Conpletely clueless, his explanation might be a bit confusing.
All in all, I think he's a good professor and a nice guy. He's also quite a lenient grader. However, be ready to do a lot of self study if you take his class.
