If ratemyprofessors.com is to be believed, he is a good instructor who can be a bit put-offish. I can deal with that. I would rather deal with someone who calls it straight rather than tip-toeing around an issue. I feel like I can work with just about anyone. Besides, my success is my responsibility, no my advisor's.
I like the fact that he has been there since 1976. UT has long had a reputation of having very accessible faculty. That tells me he is at least aware of the type of student-faculty culture that is part of what attracted me to UT.
I have less than a month left here at the paper. Frankly, it has been a fun ride, but I am ready to get off.
