Pros: I can't think of any.
Cons: He's allergic to light, so he has the entire classroom in darkness with blackout curtains on the windows. In a 200-people math class, this makes it even harder not to fall asleep. And he teaches by writing under an ELMO, but he doesn't actually know if we can see what he's writing and we have to tell him. The 3 exams are harder than the final, and he doesn't curve. He's really not a good teacher, is what it comes down to. He can't engage the class, and "teaches" by writing a few bullet points of concepts and then does practice problems for us.

Pros: Paul Wright is a great guy. He is a little nerdy but always helps out students and it makes me want to pay more attention in class.
Cons: Web assigns are somewhat difficult, and you only have a certain amount of chances to get it right, whereas at other colleges there are unlimited attempts.

Good professor, lecture was easy and interesting, he went over everything in lecture and gave practice tests. His tests are the same as the practice tests and his questions are similar to what he gives in class. would recommend taking him.
