“Obviously the instructor is very intelligent and knowledgeable, but he’s in desperate need of a vocal coach.

“This professor obviously has a dominating command of the information he is presenting, but like the other reviewers have mentioned, his "add-ins" or "catch phrases" are incredibly distracting. "Uh", "um" and his repeating certain words several times before moving on with his sentences can really...”Read full review »
