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

I love Rodwell so much. I can understand why people say hes scary or condescending but really its just because he cares so much about how we are learning as students. Hes a crazy guy so that can also make it hard to tell that hes not actually annoyed with you, its just how he talks. Great lecturer and very reasonable exams. Take his class!

Makes students feel dumb if they ask a question yet gets upset that nobody wants to respond to him during lecture when he asks a question. Have gone to his office hours a few times and they are a complete waste of time. He rambles on and on. Also, again, humiliates students if they ask a question. Besides that, I guess his class was fine.

Lectures were clear if you could keep up with his pace. They are full of info; too full since he goes over time often. Assignments are long and quite difficult, but are extremely helpful to study for tests. Midterm was easy, final was hard (mostly because it was so long no one finished). The 4 hour slot per week for lab is not enough.

Rodwell is a dying breed of professors. You will either feed off his passion for the subject, or hate his over the top approach. Much nicer guy then people give him credit for, does not bullsh$t so know what you're talking about before asking. Has an amazing insight into fundamentals, explains well. If you appreciate this you will love his course.

DO NOT go to his office hours!!! he gives you the impression that you are not worth his time.
