I would say Rodwell is definitely an acquired taste- you either enjoy his teaching style, or not at all. Although his homeworks, tests, and projects are extremely time consuming and difficult, he definitely cares about his students, atleast from my experience. I'm glad I'm done taking the 137 series but it was a worthwhile class nonetheless.

Excellent professor; VERY difficult class. Doesn't waste a second of time in lecture. Lab projects are very intense and weigh heavily on your grade (half the class slept overnight in the lab the day before it was due). Tests are difficult, but fair. Very passionate, very knowledgable. Good prof, but plan to devote ALOT!!! of hours to his class.

avoid at all cost!

Went way too fast, impossible to get his time even durning office hours, tests were a matter of how quick you were not of the subject matter.

Rodwell is the worst professor I have had in my entire life. HWs do not reflect on class material. Notes are full of useless information and do not reflect on the exam stuff. I can't stress enough how awful lectures are. He covers stuff fast, illegible handwriting with no references to look up. Absolute worst. He is impossible to talk to.

He is a strange man I will admit, but beneath that he really just cares that all of us learn and do well. He seems like he wants to make you feel dumb for asking questions but really he just wants you to ponder your question before he answers it. Does extra class to explain the labs which is so kind of him and even brought us pizza for one of them
