Take him if you want an understanding, hands-on lecturer who students say will help on the final paper and will give an A for effort. Lean away if you need a no-work A or cannot handle a paper-heavy close. Sample is two comments, so this is lean_take rather than take.
Suits
- students willing to consult and work the final paper
- students who want an understanding, hands-on instructor
Look elsewhere if
- students hunting a no-effort A
- students who will skip the paper or the 40 percent exam
