Comment:

He expects everyone to know everything from the textbooks and spends lectures vaguely explaining some equations and telling you how everything relates to industry. His heart's in the right place because he's trying to make class more interesting, but at the end of the day you're being tested on math that you were never taught how to do.

Comment:

His tests/quizzes evaluate how well you copied his lecture notes and how good you are at memorizing obscure equations/diagrams. After taking his course I felt I understood the material extremely well, but was not given a valid opportunity to demonstrate it.

One of the better profs in the department. Knows his stuff. Great notes and lectures. Answers all questions well. This is a hard course, but he makes the material clear.

Comment:

He's gives reasonably clear lectures, but he is such a jackass to students. Also, he doesn't know the material all that well.

he has a great wierd sense of humour. says "we're doing really well on time" almost every class. once when talking about feedback said, "This is the most important equation you will ever see. It's so important, I'm going to circle it again.

Saavedra puts very little care into his work. He is constantly putting assignment solutions on the website that are wrong. When you ask him about it, he passes you off.
