Teaching
“I love his teaching style. By far he is the best professor I have had–always encouraging meaningful, intellectually challenging, and interesting conversations regarding the materials during class. Additionally, I really appreciate his feedback for term papers and even discussion posts. He has always been incredibly supportive, and I enjoyed this class thoroughly and I hope he gets to teach more because I want him as my professor again.”
