CollegeProfessor Moehlis is the chair of the ME department, so I can only imagine he chooses to teach Engineering 3 out of pure enjoyment. He'll make sure you know what you need and spend the remaining time connecting the work to fascinating math concepts and personal stories. Those with any coding experience will pass easily, so I'd call it a win-win.
I came in with zero coding experience. It was easy. I rarely went to lecture, but I was still successful. Weekly homework, handwritten midterm, final project. Work with friends on homework and the final. The midterm is straightforward if you haven't been cheating your way through the class. Moehlis doesn't really add or take away from the class.
Professor Moehlis is one of the best professors I've had so far! His lectures are very engaging and you can tell that he truly cares about his students. He gave us practice midterms which were very helpful for midterm prep. The prompts in lecture often mirror the homework, so even of you dont have prior coding experience its easy to learn.
Such an understanding professor, and truly wants his students to pass. The quizzes weren't too difficult, and his final project was extremely easy. Stay on top of weekly assignments and its a great class.
Ive had some lectures so far. His class is so interesting and he explains everything super well. It's crazy how patient and how good at explaining stuff he is. Definitely take this professor.
Professor J-Mo is perhaps the best professor I have had at UCSB. His lectures go in depth & he shares a lecture video of all the classes he takes. I was never checking my watch in his lectures & his interactive way of teaching made me look forward to this class every week. Keep up with the lecture as the HW gets harder every week. Come to lecture.
