05/09/2025		Fine teacher, his teaching is pretty decent and he's pretty good at answering questions and helping students. He can be a little condescending and rude though at times. Maybe he's trying to be blunt, but his delivery could be a bit better. He also distributed a clear phishing email that claimed to be looking for masters econ students. He ended up sending a follow up email the next day telling everyone it was actually a scam. Made me laugh because it was like come on dude...
