“My favorite professor at U-M, hands down. A brilliant but humble man, and a truly genuine 
person. He is really funny but is also a super personable guy. He is a bit quirky, but you can 
tell how passionate he is about what he is teaching. He truly loves what he is doing.”

“Professor Levinson is extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic and I could listen to him talk 
all day. I am grateful that I had him as a professor.”

“He's an amazing professor, so funny and passionate about the class and material. Just 
absolutely amazing, he's clear, concise, and engaging.”
