I mean, Prof.Noyce should definitely learn from Prof.Ahn about how to teaching students. She is no doubt one of the best lectuers in UW-Madison

She is one of the best professors I've had! She presents lecture material well and is very personable overall. Exams can be hard so make sure you comprehend material well.

Absolutely great professor, I loved her lectures so much and she got me into transportation as a whole. Tests weren't impossible, lectures were recorded, extra credit was given, literally everything was there for you to succeed and she very clearly loves what she does. Highly recommend!

Sue is very friendly and understanding. Civil Engr 370 is not super difficult in terms of content, but the exams are relatively difficult and not easy when it comes to timing. The more practice you do, the better you will do in the class. Pretty easy to get a B in the class, but if you want an A or an AB you will need to work for it. E
