Midterm = exactly the same as the practice midterm. Final = Slight variations from the practice final. Do your homework and memorize the midterm handouts will get you that A.

This guy is a good teacher. I don't know why the reviews are so bad. His Lectures are very organized and clear. He's very helpful and patient during his office hours and his tests are straight forward. He even let me turn in my homework 2 hours late when I forgot to go to class. Maybe these other students are upset because they suck at Matlab

i take back my comment from below cuz that was before the midterm hahahha. he is a****ty teacher, but his practice midterm/finals are exactly the same as the test itself, so as long as you know the practice stuff, it's an easy A

most horrible teacher of mechanical engineering in the history of UCSB
