Comment:
The class can get a bit dull at points. It seems like a lot of the information could be left out to get to the main point. But overall it's a decent class. Tests aren't too hard because you get to make a cheat sheet. The projects are so vague, take forever to finish, and are graded ruthlessly by the TA (who is no help). Homework is a pain too.

Nice guy. Pretty good teacher. Explains things pretty well, answers questions in class. Tells you pretty much exactly what to expect on exams.

Comment:
Spilker's IEA class is fairly boring but only because it is IEA. I think he is a good teacher and he covers the material very in depth. Seems like a helpful guy although I have not visited his office hours. Unfortunately IEA is really boring. Bring your laptop and do other homework during class!

Comment:
He's very clear about everything he explains, but he doesn't really teach you how to fend for yourself -- he definitely treats you like a freshman (good or bad? You decide). I could do everything well IN class, but he did easy examples. As soon as I was out of class, different story. Do the homework sooner than the night before or you'll lose it.

Comment:
Helpful guy, in advising as well as in class time. Tried his best not to read too much from IEA slides, helped students as well. Didn't even collect class activities. However, if you're not interested in IEA from the get-go, he's not going to make it especially interesting. You do have to keep your own.

Seemed to be a pretty nice guy, but had boring lectures. Having the class at 8 in the morning didn't help. If you do have him, make sure to go to his office - he's a lot more helpful there.

He's a mess. Class is hard to follow b/c he rushes through everything. He is approachable and a nice guy, however IEA isn't that hard and he makes it seem like it is.

Spilker is overall a good guy. He gets a little frazzled at times, so it gets a little confusing. IEA isn't difficult to begin with though so it's not bad. If you need help with anything, just ask. He's good at explaining specific things to one or two people.

Spilker's really helpful, approachable, and clear. He is concise and easy to understand. IEA really isn't that difficult to begin with but Spilker makes it even easier.
