Comment:
The first two assignments are very doable, but for the last assignment he makes you write a grammar in a language he made himself, so there's very few online resources to understand how to use the language. The lectures put me to sleep, you can honestly miss lectures and still do fine. Don't miss tutorials.

Really know the stuffs well and be able to reproduce proofs very fast in class (proved the equivalence between DFA, NFA, and regular language on blackboard without any help). Try his best to entertain people and make things clear. Very nice guy.

Kind of boring but tried to throw in some jokes here and there. Marks really hard. I recommend to read the textbook before class, otherwise its hard to follow the lecture.
