That 5.0 is legit. I absolutely adore Professor Feke. He is such an amazing professor and just a great person. The class may be tough, but its fair. It's clear what he expects, he gives amazing lectures, and he is always down to help you in office hours, where he can clarify things incredibly well. Wish he taught all the Chem E classes

Dr. Feke is absolutely incredible. His lectures are great at explaining content and he is willing to always go above and beyond. He has great general perspectives and always puts the student first. Dr. Feke should serve as an example for all professors at Case Western should follow. If you try and pay attention you'll ace the course.

Feke is a really great professor in the chemical engineering department. It is really important to go to office hours for this class because he will help you a lot. He really cares about his students and will work with you to help you with homework and studying. If necessary, he will extend his office hours to help you.

I would say that overwhelmingly this class is FAIR. Feke is an amazing lecturer, with clear and concise examples. He leads you through every part, and will review all of the homework problems in recitation if you have specific questions for him. Tests are fair, though I wouldn't say easy per se. They align well with homework and previous tests.

Hands down the best professor I've ever had at Case. He's an extremely good lecturer, especially for a class as tough as Transport Phenomena. If you have questions, he will return your email any time of day (literally anytime). Or if you stop by his office, he can clarify things unbelievably well. I wish he taught more chemical engineering courses

Feke is AMAZING. Super helpful. Super smart. Learned so much. If you need any help at all with anything, just go to his office. He is always willing to take the time to explain things and do practice problems. I wish he taught all the chemE classes.

I LOVE PROFESSOR FEKE WITH ALL MY HEART. He made me love Thermo soooooo much. (I never thought I would hear these words coming out of my mouth). ENGR 225 with Mathieson made me question this who ENGR thing. But man! I love Chemical engineering now. Like seriously. Every class, I'd walk ou and be like: "MIND BLOWN!"

Does a phenomenal job of explaining how to analyze transport situations, which are not simple. He tests you on material very similar to what was taught from class examples and/or homework, and he is very helpful if you ask him questions about the hw!

I was reading the reviews on this site. Its funny how the reviews are still accurate. This professor hasn't changed, one of the best I've seen at Case and out of it. How: 1) Creates a cohesive lecture series tying in several different concepts 2)Presents the material in an engaging manner, asking ourselves questions. 3)Has faith in students.

Incredibly helpful professor, explains the materials very well and good sense of humor. Plenty of office hours and will answer any question you have. Getting an A in the class can be challenging, but little effort is needed for a B.

Despite the classes, his grading system is actually very lenient. He takes off only minimal points for mathematical errors. He's also phenomenal at taking a complex subject like transport and making it very clear and understandable.

Dr. Feke's class was the best I've had here at Case. I don't know how he did it but every lecture seemed to tie together with everything that preceded it and his presentation of the material made everything very clear and interesting. He is very dedicated to making sure that students are understanding everything and the recitations were invaluable.

Best professor I've ever had period. I've taken three of his classes (graduate), and no other professor can match his teaching. Even with not so fun topics, he makes the material easy, clear, and somehow enjoyable. If you have the chance, take a class from him, it could be the best professor you'll have at Case.

I spent A LOT of years at Case & Feke was the best professor I ever had. If Case was serious about improving undergrad education, they'd beg Feke to give the faculty lectures on effective teaching (R U listening Savinell?). Face it: most ChemE course topics are dull but complex. Feke makes them interesting & clear. His devotion to students shines.

Dr. Feke is one of those rare professors who can motivate you to be interested in what could have been an incredibly dry class. He explains everything perfectly well, and he is always accessible if you need him. Great guy all around.
