Very theoretical in lectures, midterm easy, final insanely hard, but clearly curved. He is very intelligent and fair in the end

Glenn was an amazing prof!! He is insanely smart; ask him any question and he has an answer. Also, his passion for the subject is truly inspiring. I live for the smile he flashes after he finishes lecturing something awesome. 1 MIDTERM + 1 FINAL

This is the only 8 am class I ever enjoyed. His lecture handouts are super clear and helpful, and I use them for many of my other classes.

I have never met a man who is more passionate about what he does than this man. He smiles at the thought of math, and his smile inspires happiness in others. Glenn Fredrickson is the best professor at UCSB.

Probably the smartest ChE professor. He knows everything there is to know about math. The man is a genius he got his PhD in 4 years. 132A has pretty long homeworks. The midterm was easy and final was a little more challenging than expected. Good luck in your future classes. You're almost there!

Excellent professor who is very happy to help all his students. Really smart guy. People complained about the HW but I never thought it was too bad. He explains everything on the HW in lecture so just really pay attention in class and you'll do well.

Lots of homework, very time consuming. However, he is very clear and helpful.

Heavy on the math, homework will take all your time unless you can do integral calculus in your sleep. Learned a lot, Glenn is enthusiastic and knows his stuff cold.

I hate programming and this class was quite dull. Fredrickson required attendance, which was horrible since all his lectures are posted online and I got nothing out of class. Homework assignments were really programming-intensive and time consuming. Nevertheless, Fredrickson is a really nice guy and always willing to help out.
