Ajay Verghese
Professor Verghese is a fabulous professor who knows so much in his field of expertise, yet still makes the class fun and engaging for those who may not even heard of the topic before. His enthusiasm makes you want to come to class for an 8am and his lecture style is easy to follow. He easily breaks down difficult topics so all students can understand. He is also very open to discussion and I loved the discussion section that was included with the class. He was able to guide it and encourage students to take the lead and ask/answer questions so we could better understand the material. Loved this class!

I highly recommend this class as a stepping stone into the department. Verghese is an amazing teacher, and the subject is fascinating. Just be prepared for long lectures, but it's worth it. Lots of reading.
Sick course, 2 weekly discussion posts, no main exams and a final culminating project and presentation of said project. Fair grader and very accommodating. Very solid lecturer as well, course material can be a bit boring at points, but is still engaging.
