His expectations on assignments were clear, his lectures were wonderfully concise &amp; the work load was incredibly fair. The material was hard but interesting, and he was more than willing to offer help whenever needed.",

The only way to ask questions is through the discussion board where he is not clear. No extra credit available at all and you're just a number to him. get ready",

Prof. Runge provides a ton of lecture videos and practice calculations to make sure you KNOW the material. However, some of the quiz/exam questions are not necessarily covered (or covered very briefly) so you really have to know your stuff to do well.",

Ongoing systems modeling assignment is a BEAST. Plan on spending a lot of time on each part of this assignment to do well. Leaned a LOT, but definitely makes you work for it.",
