If his other courses are like this one, I would take those in a heartbeat.

Bernier was very accommodating when I wasn't able to hand in an assignment on time, so don't be afraid to ask for an extension (without penalty) before the due date. Disclaimer: I handed in all my other assignments on time and got good marks on them, so he might have recognized that and may have been accommodating for that reason. Plus, he just seems like a pretty chill and nice person.
