Too test dependent. Makes test ridiculously long for no reason and 70% of the grade. Good lecture though. Grade received in the class does not reflect student's knowledge because of how test are structured. He wants to see half the class fail. No curve.

Great Professor, explains concepts really well. Also really wants to help and you can tell he puts in the effort to make good lectures and give good answers.

Class that was revamped with an arduino engineering kit. Kit was a bit of a mess, not the fault of the professor, just a lot of hardware and software problems that made completing the required labs difficult but Susko was pretty accommodating. Weekly labs (with reports) and a final.

Prerecorded lectures are all over the place, making the content extremely difficult to follow. Quizzes and final were quite difficult, and often frustrating, especially when they are poorly worded, or have you flipping all around the book to find the appropriate diagrams. Also, all the material covered is completely useless imo.

I know it a tough quarter, but apparently susko did not teach enough concepts and ideas to students. His teaching style is not clear and formal; everything is flying all around the blackboard. I hope we have other professors to teach the course.

No technical guidance, avoid.

I wish I have another option. His teaching style is unclear and unorganized. I don't want one professor to teach all the courses that are required to graduate.

Prof Ilan is from EP. None of the project from EP. So you will learn nothing, easy A. Most projects are simpler than ECE5.

I have taken ME10, ME 156 and I am in ME189 all taught by Susko. I sure wish he would teach us something. ME10 was fun, but now that I am a senior I realize it was just play and he did not teach us enough. ME156 was just not helpful. And don't even get me started on the joke that is capstone. How did this guy get in charge of so many classes?!

He lectured using PowerPoint which was terrible. His homework was either book problems which were a joke or written himself which were too ambiguous. The test was poorly written where students were left scrambling for time.

Wonderful guy, really cares about undergrads in engineering. ME10 is a really fun course and Susko is very fair and supportive of everyone.

All you get is program management, dont take this class

I loved Professor Susko! He was such a great professor, who made the lectures interesting and funny! He's also just generally a good guy and is more than willing to help you in his office hours if you ever need it!

Really good professor, wants you to do well & is good at explaining things too. Class was extremely fun and rewarding, my favorite class so far at UCSB! Rated difficult not because it is difficult to get a good grade (it's not), but because the class requires you to do a lot of work.

He is a fantastic teacher. You'll learn SolidWorks but that system is incredibly easy if you put the time into learning it. It is a very rewarding class, especially for undergrads and first years because it is project-based, which is the most fun type.

Really Awesome professor. One of the best a I've had at UCSB!

Crystal clear lectures with a fair amount of homework. I was pretty busy the whole week. Midterm was super easy, but the final was pretty tough. I'm happy with my grade so I think he was fair overall.

Hmm? Ilan was a good lecturer with clear examples and concise explainations. I did decent on the midterm, hw, and lab reports but that final was just impossible. Got a disappointing grade because of a test that probably 75% of the class failed. This guy's tests are meant to trick you, so study hard and know everything completely.

Awesome class. He's a really cool guy and his lectures were really good. I only referred to the book a couple of times while doing the hmwk because most of the time I only needed my notes.

Cool guy, very helpful. Class is tough if you don't go to class. Must listen and take notes to do well. Start your homework early or else you will go insane and fail trying to do it the day before. Ask him if you have questions and he will help like crazy. Totally awesome class.

Really wants his students to get it, go to office hours because he'll spend as long as he needs to to make sure students understand, do the homework yourself, it pays off on tests

if you don't have any experience with programing prior to the class you might have a tough time. if you keep up on the the assignments (which are 50% of the class grade) you'll be ok. tests are pretty tough, study the example problems he gives you like crazy- they're really similar on the test

He gives sample problems to the midterm and final in class before he gives the actual tests.

Cool guy, easy to talk to in office hours and very helpful. Knows what he's talking about and willing to answer your questions in class too. Kind of tough class if you've never had programming but by the end you should understand it if you did the hw and took advantage of office hours..hw is 50%, make sure you can read code for tests!
