I'm not an MIT graduate. Took the OCW recordings on YOUTUBE. Mr Sadoway could be Feynman's recincarnation. Inspirational, cool, relevant, respectable... he's got everything right ! Whoever aspires to teach, watch this dude & see how it's done !

Comment:

He's incredibly egotistical and completely obsessed with Nobel prizes. He's an all right teacher but he seems to take pride in having low test averages.

it is the time for the next one he is so basic, it seems he is able to say nothing new, all the time he is repeating the same stuff, although the book is changed

My rating is purely based on his recorded (Fall 2004) lectures made available as part of MIT Open Course. I am amazed at how engaging these lectures were even when separated by time and space!

He's a little full of himself, but perhaps rightfully so. His notes are good, and I felt like i learned a good deal.

Sadoway is a ****, plain and simple. He's by far one of (if not the most) entertaining lecturers of the freshman core classes. Sadoway rules!

slightly overrated class, a lot of slides are just for show, great teacher, interesting class for the most part. His grading is completely fair and had one of the best policies regarding partial credit

Comment:

sadoway is funny, the material is very interesting (give him credit for choosing cool examples). however, there's no interaction in his class (no asking questions or anything..) and that's sad coz the pace of this class is really fast and some things remain cloudy.
