Comment:

Had him for CEE195. Boring voice, but good information. Lots of guest speakers, and the group projects were nit picked when graded. Also the final was ridiculous, asked for random information like where a guest speaker went to college. Class is mandatory for civil, so have fun with that.

Won't know your grade until the end of the semester. Also, the final are about the slight info in lecture which makes it very difficult

Comment:

Never let us know what our homework grades were, and so the final grade is like a surprise, you never know what you could get. Dont recommend this teacher unless you like surprises in your final grade.

Comment:

Great for classes, but if you're one of his grad students... Well, good luck tracking him down. By the time I graduated, I felt like I literally had to stalk the guy to get him to sign the requisite forms by the deadlines. Missed appointments frequently. Nice guy, but frustrating.
