CBE 310
Quality 1/5Difficulty 5/5
Worst professor ever I met in my life. Even worst than Chavz. Tough grader and bad lecturer. Exams dont make any sense.

Quality 3/5Difficulty 3/5
Overall he isn't that bad, but he could definitely improve upon many different aspects of his teaching approach. I don't think the disorganized way he conducts lecture works for anyone and the lack of explanation for certain concepts is frustrating. The tests itself are reasonable if you study the material well. The textbook will be your friend.

Quality 2/5Difficulty 4/5
Get ready to read a lot. Your TA will be your best friend in this class. Tormos is horrible at using a board to show how he solves problems. Puts information all over the board and is very hard to follow. Does not draw and spell clearly. Only his second semester teaching and he teaches a thermo class that is the basis for CBE...
