Great guy!
Professor Beltz is the best. He's got his lectures down to a science, teaching you exactly what you need to know for the homework and exams. Grading is clear, and nothing is unexpected. I only wish that he taught more classes. The only downside is the online final exam we took, which felt a little removed from the course.
Prof. Beltz is a very straightforward teacher. If you came to lecture every day and paid attention to what he said, you were pretty much guaranteed to get an A. His lectures are very straightforward, and the topics covered in class are exactly what show up on homework assignments and tests.
Super straight forward lectures and good notes that are posted to gs and updated every lecture. Also had good quality recorded lectures and posted them online as well. Really chill prof.
One of the best professors I've had. Great lectures, super clear instruction, well structured class. Pretty funny sometimes as well. Thoroughly enjoyed the class.
Very awesome professor. I took this three weeks ME15 in summer. HW was not heavy, just 1-3 problems from Monday to Thursday and a quiz each Friday. I was supposed to get an A- but he curved it to A which meant a lot to me.
