Very difficult. Not shy about letting you know he is DR. not MR. Tries to teach you way more than necessary because he thinks he can fit it in and ends up with little or no time to cover required topics that will be on the test-all freshman classes get the same end of unit tests

Classes are very jam-packed, and Dr. B tried to do to much in just one period. There’s many assignments and it’s very overwhelming, because of how many different things you have to be aware of. He also gets mad/annoyed if you didn’t hear something or don’t do what he says exactly.
