Bart is the kind of teacher that I wish I had more often. He pushes you to think critically and perform to the best of your ability. Not afraid to throw some humor into class.

Quality 4/5Difficulty 4/5
Gave good and useful feedback, and grading was clear once he had graded it. However, before having graded it we were often not given instructions on what to do or what was expected and then had to learn this class "in hindsight", which was incredibly irritating at times. Was kind and connected to us despite being online.

Quality 1/5Difficulty 5/5
Absurdly harsh grader and isn't an engineer so gets lost in technical details. Rude when grading as well.

Overall a solid choice for 397. Didnt get as good of a grade as I would have liked, but the class was taught well and graded fairly. What made the class difficult was that the grade is based on a few assignments.
