Another quarter, another set of classes with Chada. First quarter design is always a punch to the gut, but I did appreciate the lectures given and honestly Chada is a great professor for anything that needs to be taught and applied.

I have my own personal issues with junior lab and the way our groups are determined but that is a story for another time. Professor Chada introduced office hours for lab report review this year, which was greatly appreciated. 180A is such an important class for the chemical engineering curriculum, and I think he did a good job with our class.

Awesome professor and great lectures. Homework varied on the week, sometimes it was very hard, but grading was fair (after TA's were told to grade less harsh). The lab was fun :)

ChE 5 is a super good introduction to the major, and Chada is the perfect professor to introduce you to the department. He's caring, funny, accessible, and really just fun to talk to. There was a lot of homework, but attempting it all is really what counts.

great professor. he's easy going and his lectures are easy to follow. I went to almost every lecture, and when i didn't go, i felt behind. hw is tough in the beginning but gets easier w practice. class is difficult at first but i loved it towards the end. i should've ended w an A- but he gave me an A, which i'm grateful

120A is one of the first difficult classes for chem e's. He does a pretty good job at tackling the class and occasionally makes a few errors but that is normal. Make sure to read the book and do the examples or you will have a tough time in the class.

This was the only class where I went to every lecture. The homework can be rough in the beginning but if you read the textbook and keep up a A is definitely manageable. He also rounds grades because I calculated based on my percentage I would have had a A-, but he gave me an A. This was my favorite class as a freshman q1, and it was easy enough.

Helgeson is not the best lecturer in the world and makes occasional errors but is incredibly invested in what the material is about. The coursework is difficult but manageable, though more practice than just homework problems should be done to succeed.

The professor does things like pop quizzes and spot grades, and the homework makes this course very unpredictable. He also will get mad if you email him for help. He put a section of material that was not covered in the lecture or part of the assigned readings and stated that it was a section that we did not need to read but put on the exam anyways

Just show up to class, do the assignments, and give a decent presentation and you will pass. Pass/No Pass isn't a grade option here but since 118 is, participation is the only requirement for success. I liked Professor Chada's technical writing slide decks and I will be repurposing them for the rest of my time at UCSB.

Introduces Chem E concepts in a simple, understandable way. I adored this class. Biweekly homework (don't wait til last minute). and a final group project. No tests. Biweekly lab where you get to go through the process of making biodiesel. Guest speakers from Clorox. Overall, a great class. Always looked forward to lecture. Textbook not required.

Everyone should take a class with Chada if they have the chance. He is incredibly caring, an amazing teacher, and an all around awesome guy. He makes learning difficult concepts not only simple but also incredibly engaging. And we got to do an awesome lab. Take his courses!

Review #2 for Professor Chada! Separations was really interesting to me, and although I did poorly on the midterm, I think he understood that I felt my capabilities didn't match my test scores, and was very helpful and encouraging in the days leading up to the final. Be prepared to learn a lot of content in just 10 weeks.

120A is a behemoth of a class, fluid dynamics is often some of the most technically difficult math you will see in your coursework, so I know that Professor Helgeson did his best with an already confusing and hard subject. I appreciated that he was willing to meet me for extra tutoring, because I really struggled in exam-taking for this class.

ChE5 was very easy. Dr.Chada is very nice and helpful

Really Good Professor

Hands down, my favorite class

CHE5 is a very good introductory chemE course. You have a biweekly labs over the quarter when you make biodiesel and tie into topics learnt in class. Hws take some time but are very doable. Easy course, no final but final project.

120A Mid lectures at best. Easy midterm but impossible final worth 40%. One of the problems we never once did anything related on a HW so no practice. I stg he picks HW problems via throwing at a dartboard, not whats covered in lecture. So many errors in notes, HW solutions, even exam questions. I feel like I barely learned anything. Underwhelming

Professor Chada is very nice. If you have no prior knowledge of the curriculum, make sure to read the textbook and go to office hours! When it comes to due dates make sure to turn them in on time because he is less lenient than other professors. As for the lab section, DON'T BE LATE or he will confront you about it.

Weekly group projects where you get to meet other intelligent people in the same major. Has great lectures and explains problem-solving strategies needed for homework. He is accessible outside of the classroom either during in-office hours or online (loves using nectir). Overall awesome professor, make sure you get to know him!

Professor Chada did a good job teaching our intro ChemE class. He knows the material well and is really accessible outside of class if you need help. He did a lot of practice problem with me before the exams and it helped me do much better in ChE 5. I appreciated him bringing us guest lecturers to learn more about the industry.

Dr. Chada is a really nice prof who wants you to learn the content well. He always keeps you updated about assignments as well as where the class is going. HW can be tough, but it's in groups. The midterms he gives you plenty of time, though they are not easy. Make sure to do some extra textbook problems. Positive guy, you can't go wrong with him.

Chada is super nice and really cares about setting up his students for their future. Video lectures are easy to understand and in meetings he goes through more example problems. Pretty much all group work. HW can be tough but Chada and TAs are accessible if you have questions. Midterm/Final is easy if you can do the problems from lectures/meetings.
