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.
The homework takes a good amount of time, but the quizzes and final are extremely straightforward and not too bad, so it should be an easy A. Also this guy is really funny and chill.
If you get on his bad side, he is a disrespectful person.
