"Professer Palmer is a very fast paced lecturer, so it can sometimes be hard to keep up, but besides that his lectures are good, and I felt like as long as I kept up with the readings I could understand what was going on in the class. The homework can be a little bit tedious and the tests are fair, but a lot of problems considering the amount of time we had for them."
