Students love any prof who is an easy A; check back on his class records (if they exist!).
Student comments were positive. I agree that cake profs can get decent scores when students are just filling in bubbles, but the handwritten comments said he was an interesting, engaging, and passionate teacher. To my mind he's a tragic waste of potential. Of course, the tragedy started with his mother's choice to mate with whoever the father was, followed by his upbringing by commie friends incl. FM Davis so that by the time he reached sentience his attitudes were already a totally lost cause. Had things worked out differently, he could have been chief newsreader for ABC, chief children's storybook reader at the local library, anything that played to his one and only known talent of reading other people's words and making them sound good.
