He will easily stray off the main subject.
He yells at you and belittles you.
He rambles on and on and never seems to get to the point.

Theme 2

📈 About Difficulty & Grades

If your looking for an easy elective, then you can definitely ace his class if you try!!
He seems hard at first but he offers so much that there is no way you could not pass.

Theme 3

🎥

Does not show you how to use equipment.
this class taught NOTHING NEW, and we used poor editing equipment.
