Haha, I had a buisness class like that. The guy was a graduate student from Africa. He had been in America for about 4 years now and his accent was so strong I couldn't understand anything. He would write the important things on the board but no one could read his hand writing. Finally I went up to him after class and asked him if he would man making a few power points or handouts with just an out line of what we were going over, he did and I passed easily. Really chill guy, I actually liked him once I was able to understand what was going on in the class. He had a lot of interessting stories.

It always seems with people like that you can understand the stories that have nothing to do with the class, but have no clue what they said when they are going over what will be on an exam.
