Selected Student Comments
“He was very receptive to students’ input, thoughtfully considering both comments and questions, and tried his best to make this course as fair as possible. The interactive lectures forced me to pay attention and helped me take notes. By far, I believe this is the most difficult course I’ve taken at UAlbany. However, this professor’s class has made me think in a way that I knew I’ve been missing.”
“Ability to tailor the material to meet the varying levels of the students in class. Acceptable and open to ideas and feedback.”
“Always available to ask questions. Responds to emails in a timely manner. Thoroughly explains topics.”
“Without a doubt the best course I’ve taken so far in undergrad. Communicated effectively, challenging but gives all the tools necessary to be successful. Outstanding.”
