Comment:
I took Fund. of Sustainable Engineering with him and it was horrible, the whole course is only based on quizzes, Ive taken 8, each friday 1 (8 weeks straight), the quizzes are based on scientific articles, hard to read and understand, you have to really focus and try hard. Students missed class because the only thing that mattered were the examns

Comment:
He gave us quizzes almost weekly (when it was convenient for him to give work) that had absolutely nothing to do with what we were learning in class. Your grade is based entirely off of these quizzes that were based off of articles that you read outside of class. Got me excited about the subject, but if you care about your grade, don't take.

Found the class to be straightforward, exams were likewise, fairly easy. Course focused more on slides rather than book material. Good professor, entertaining, would def. take a class w/ him again.

He is a good professor, but his exams and quizzes are extremely tricky, and sometimes, even him gets confused with the questions.

Should try harder to teach the classes and add more material. Half of every class contained a summary of the last one.

His grading system is horrible!!! The tests are usually arbitrary and aren't really fair. It's hard to test knowledge of C++ without using a computer. His final was confusing, but he was an ok teacher, i learned a lot. The final project is also horrible, most ppl probabally spent 72+hours on it.
