I enroll for a class because of the professor and in the last minute the dean change him with another one , NOT AS GOOD! You pay for something and get something else! Plus the overall impression is that the math and physics dept DON'T CARE ABOUT THE STUDENTS ! STAY AWAY!

If you feel something isn't right there is no one to go to that actually cares, communication among lab instructors need a lot of improvement. Some instructors create a toxic environment.
