Not this one, I think he's very knowledgeable but he dumbs the class down
for the students because he's too nice to tell them they have no business
being there. I wouldn't be that nice. I think the prof is smart because
we've had discussions outside of class where he talks to me on my level.
He and a few other professors have told me that the intellectual level and
educational experience of the students here is so low that if they insisted
on teaching at a university level, no one would ever pass the classes except
a handful of the very top students. :(
