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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
