网友评论：
教授在电脑屏幕上只有不到两英寸，从来没有特写过，但他真的能感受到自己的光环。他给人一种心胸开阔、平易近人的科学工作者的印象。他说话很顺利，和大多数美国人一样有堂音。POWERPOINT上课，使用大量图片、数据、表格、录相录音等。很少幽默，常用的词是interesting。对他提到的所有科研人员都给予中肯、真诚的表扬。他说的一切都给人一种中肯、真诚、平静的感觉。在课程结束时，他还将播放与食物相关的喜剧短片，即与课程内容相关的喜剧短片。我第一次体验到这种风格。。。哲学教授总是保持着特别的激情，心理学教授会有幽默的语言和表情特写。
虽然肥胖这个词在他的课程中经常被提及，但他自己可以说是一个超重的例子。但他并没有从个人开始，总是谈论美国和整个世界。我在课堂上看到了一些我不能体验的东西，但我可以猜到他在课后与同学们有很多交流。
