MATRL270 . Pitenis A A 6 Years Ago

Angela is great. She is knowledgeable about the subject matter and is very excited about teaching and it shows. She seems to want the best for her students and is really caring and approachable. I wish her the best and I hope to take another class with her in the future!

MATRL101 . Pitenis A A 12 Days Ago

Prof Pitenis is really nice, but i agree with the other comments, i think this is the most boring class i have taken. The material is expansive, and really tedious to work through.

Really nice prof, and is obviously passionate but man this class was BOORING. Most people interested in materials take the 100 series so the 101 series is a speed run of everything, and taught to people who do not care about materials which kind of sucks but oh well. wish it wasnt required and I can could another tech elective instead.

Good professor and passionate about material science. I do agree the lectures are boring. There is a lot of content to cover in the span of 10 weeks as well. Homework was always manageable and clear.

Professor Pitenis is super passionate about material science and is a great teacher. However, the material is pretty boring and it was very hard to get myself to pay attention and even go to lecture. I went to barely any lectures, and did pretty well on all the assignments. Overall the class is structured so that you'll do well if you try.

Professor Pitenis has such evident passion in her field, she is super accessible outside of class and really wants students to love materials science as much as she does. The class is fairly graded, it is just a lot of content to cover in 10 weeks, so lectures have to move fast.
