MCFADDEN J P
He teaches interesting topics, and seems to care about the students both undergrad and grad.

Had 2 site reports and 1 final synthesis that had you go out in sb and evaluate urban form. Lecture was sometimes a bit dull but the reports and course content were super interesting! Dr. McFadden is a super nice and caring professor and I would definitely recommend taking a course with him. This course changed the way I think about urban spaces!
Easy exams, technical but straight-forward labs. He seems like a sweetheart honestly. He had a few lectures that were pretty interactive which I liked. On the other hand, some lectures are like watching a black and white movie.
Great class! Lectures are easy to follow, two exams for the quarter which were both online and could be taken anytime in a 24hr window. There were labs mostly every week which were doable in during section. If you needed help on the lab or had any questions about material the T.A.'s and Prof McFadden were more than happy to speak with you.
He's a really nice professor but his lectures can be a bit boring because he just talks about the readings. Theres 2 assignments that are site reports (you'll have to go around sb at evaluate your site) that are very confusing and take alot of your time. The final is a synthesis essay on the data the class has collected.
