Extremely discouraging starting the very first day. I would not recommend this professor. I was excited about starting classes and this guy just completely bummed me out. I asked him one simple question about the textbook and he was so negative and rude that I never asked him another question or spoke to him again! And that was on the first day of class! I have had other professors in the past who were encouraging and amazing. Unfortunately, this did not turn out to be one of them.
