This, above all, might be what defines Matt (or M.) Ward: his honest demeanor underscores all his words and playing. His heart isn’t quite on his sleeve, but there is a rawness to his soft-voiced lamentations – or celebrations, as “Post-War” is apparently an album written while in the throes of a new relationship...
...profs, however, are usually happy to help you out during office hours with everything from the most rote questions to broader applications of course material. All of the professors in LS1a are capable lecturers, although Daniel Kahne turns more than a few off with, what some call, his abrasive demeanor. The rest of the professors are markedly good at teaching this weird quasi-biochem hybrid class, including boy-genius-turned-faculty-member David Liu, the hyper-energetic Robert Lue, Biology department chair Andrew Murray, and the fantastically engaging Erin O'Shea.

As a result, sections became...
Michael De Kort has a face made for YouTube. He's not especially handsome, his on-camera demeanor is not especially polished, and his choice of subject matter - refitted Coast Guard ships - is not especially compelling. But De Kort has become the online video-sharing site's latest media peg, thanks to his hijacking of the technology for use as a whistle-blower megaphone...
