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.

Can't go wrong with Beltz.

Professor Beltz is a reasonable guy and gives good lectures. He has fair grading criteria, but be prepared to work hard. This class is important to understanding future classes.

I COULD VISUALIZE ALL THE CONCEPTS

This is probably the best professor I've ever had. Breaks the subject down so it is very easy to understand. Tests and homework are reasonable. Presents subject with great enthusiasm and generates a lot of interest in topics. If you don't go to his lectures, why bother going to any lectures in college? doesnt get much better than this.

Really good professor, his lectures are so much more clear than the textbook we have to use. Depending on your TA, you will either have a good time in the class, or an extremely bad one. Choose well. Ask upperclassmen what their opinions are.

This guy is awesome. Played youtube videos at the beginning of class sometimes relevant and sometimes not, wrote really big on the board and encouraged students to ask questions, some of the TAs weren't great at grading though, I think 1/3 of the class disputed their MT grade so watch out w. sign convention

During the first couple of lectures, I thought this class was going to be really hard. NOPE. Just the opposite, the class was really interesting and neither exam was hard. Everything was straight forward. The homeworks take some time, but hey, thats engineering for you. Compared to what's ahead, this class is a piece of cake so live it up!

fun teacher!

One of the greatest professors I have ever had at UCSB. It is really helpful when your professor is really enthusiastic about what they are teaching. Very smart and easy to approach. Will always help students out no matter what.

Beltz is the best professor in the ME department in terms of clear teaching and making concepts very easy to understand. Beltz is also very helpful outside of the classroom and is a very cool guy.

Beltz is one of my favorite professors. His clarity in teaching and his straight forward style makes his classes enjoyable and understandable. He is also a great advisor. He likes to make people push their limits and helps people with their own personal goals. My advice: go talk to him. He is extra helpful with figuring out problems.

very helpful into helping his students. if you do all your work, its a great class.

I have worked with Dr. Beltz both as a Prof. and an administrator. As a Prof. he is top notch - excellent teaching style. As an administrator Dr. Beltz is truly concerned with the well being of his students. He has recently helped organize support for engr students during finals week. Just one of the many things Dr. Beltz does to help his students.

awesome teacher!

Best Professor I have ever had (and will ever have for that matter). He makes class fun. Yes thats right, I actually enjoyed an engineering class! I learned (and rememberd) most every concept he presented. Take any class he teaches!!

Beltz is the man, thats all there is to it. He is very fair in grading and he is entertaining while teaching. Very helpful and directly answers questions. Highly recommended.

The best professor I have had. His lectures are very clear and at times entertaining. You won't find somewhere better to teach you this material. Tests are reasonable, and reflect the homework in terms of difficulty. Very helpful and will leave you wishing you had him for all engineering classes.

Beltz is the best teacher I have ever had. He really goes out of his way to make a difference; he helps out students not only with their questions but also counsels them when in need. Thanks Professor Beltz!
