This class is very MATLAB-focused. Exams are pretty easy since they're take-home, but group projects are rough since MATLAB isn't good for collaboration. You don't really have to come to lectures but it would help, since he doesn't write very clearly or make powerpoints for his notes. Grading is lenient and workload is reasonable.Rate My Professors ↗
331 was a very poorly taught class for the last 5 years and Prof. Suresh took time to make the course interesting again. Content is extremely useful and applicable outside of class, and it is a very easy A as long as you check your work with a mentally competent partner. Exams were not proctored and 24 hours to take.Rate My Professors ↗
I took it last semester, Prof. Suresh is absolutely a T0 professor in the ME department. The content is exciting and complicated, however, Prof. Suresh has the magic to organize the material and teach logically (he wrote the textbook). Overall I really recommend this course.Rate My Professors ↗
He is one of the better professors I have had. He really cares about his students and wants to make sure they succeed. Although the topics could become boring, he continuously encouraged questions to make sure the entire class understood what was going on. I would definitely recommend him to others.Rate My Professors ↗
Best professor I have had. He knows when students get confused and how to deal with them during the lecture. His tests are fairly reasonable.Rate My Professors ↗
Probably the best lecturer Ive had so far at UW-Madison. Incrementally increased difficulty thoughout the course and forced you to conceptualize how ideas built on each other.Rate My Professors ↗
