Really big name in the industry with lots of knowledge briefs abt the topics in the class but when approached with doubts he goes out of his way to explain. very patient and humble for his stature and the best part is he goes easy on the grades i heard...A or AB for sure i heard...awaiting my results..will post them as soon as i get them

Awful instructor. He just uses his notes and does not engage the class. He does not care about teaching and it shows. He should just hand out his notes and skip the lecture.

Awesome Professor! You will learn a lot in class and if you follow the notes and read through the text, it is very easy to get an AB or A. And also that ME572 is one of the most complete courses. Never miss him! He's brilliant! He basically clears all of your doubts in class itself. Exams are a little tough but he is generous. Overall.. AWESOME!
