Professor Block is a very nice professor that makes his lectures interesting and entertaining. He encourages participation and has many opportunities for extra points/extra credit in class. The homework can take a while but he and the TA are available to help during office hours, and they are very helpful.Rate My Professors ↗
Great lecturer that makes going to class enjoyable. The tests are very manageable, with the averages being low 80's. Did not like the online textbook aspect, but students can still purchase a physical copy if desired. Take it in the fall if you can, the organizational structure was much better than CEE 291.....Rate My Professors ↗
He was a great professor. You have fun in lectures and don't fall asleep. He makes you appreciate the class and has set it up really well. His tests are hard but it caters to most kind of test takers and you can pass. HE IS THE SWEETEST AND IS ALWAYS THERE TO LISTEN TO YOU. The labs are fun and useful and tie in well with the lectures.Rate My Professors ↗
One of the best professors I have had (he's a genuine professor and person). He cares about his student's success and is lenient. Lots of partial credit on exams.Rate My Professors ↗
Paul was great. He was easy to listen to as he was always very passionate about what he was teaching. He did a nice job explaining the theory behind the things we learned without boring us. I really liked his demos and his tests are mostly concepts and not computational, so if you understand it the exams aren't hard.Rate My Professors ↗
