I would say the key in success in this class is to do the assigned reading, and it does not really matter who your instructor is. I gave him a five because he was very accommodating with schedule conflicts for exam and cared about this students well-being. ",

    "comment": "Very caring, friendly professor. Amazing person, but teaching is something to be desired. He will not cover everything and instead go deep into topics that are irrelevant but still you are required to be there. We are urged from the start (correctly so) to use textbook as word and his lecture as supplement, which is accurate",

    "comment": "Prof Gebbie is nice and easy, but his teaching is poor. He rarely has a lecture plan so they are always disorganized. He barely uses the board or PowerPoint so he literally just rants the entire class with little order. Explanations are convoluted and given too fast. The class overall lacks engagement and he blames it on iPhones and the digital age",

    "comment": "Really likeable guy and approachable which is nice but he overexplains concepts and lectures can get confusing. Thermo is hard enough, but his lack of structure to lectures confuses things more. Also homework is only 10 points a week and graded harshly. Make sure to ask TA's questions during discussion because that helps clarify things a lot!",

    "comment": "This course depends on you building basics to solve problems that are way advanced that the HW. But the problem is the lack of material to study from to build these basics. Be prepared for averages around 40 for each exam. Also, unhelpful through piazza and inaccessible. You will be purely on your own for this class. He made me hate my major.",

This was his first time teaching a class and I think he will continue to improve as a professor.",
