Comment :
This guy is a terrible prof who can’t even teach simple step calculations, instead goes all over the place with his explanations and does not show how he gets numbers. He says he is the only prof that can teach the course which is complete bull... because he is the worst type of teacher you can get. He is nice and tries to joke around but it does f all for your grade which is not what you need when you are paying $750 for the course.
