This class was very chill and only met the first five weeks of the quarter. There wasn't too much teaching and a majority of the class time was spent making various cosmetic products. As long as you show up and do the experiments, it's an easy pass.

I loved him, i had him for an INT class about making shampoo, conditioner, lip gloss, aloe vera, and many more. I thought the class would be more information than hands-on but he just gives a brief description of how these items are being made and lets us get to work!

Professor Squires is a legend of the department. Although this class was difficult at times due to time intervals between homework, so some due diligence was required to learn the material, both course exams were fair and suited to the class content. He is an excellent mentor in chemical engineering and cares so deeply for his students.

not much homeworks, straightforward tests. Tests are very similar to homework and his notes. he clearly knows the stuff and it is easy to tell what he wants us to focus on and really get out of the class. only problem is that his notes do get a little sloppy

My favorite Professor at UCSB. Though he is busy with his other comitments, he tries really hard to make sure his students get the education they signed up for. Homework is generally straight forward and tests are just like slightly harder homeworks. He is also very casual with the way he talks with students which makes him very approachable.

One of the best professors I've ever had! Lecture was always easy to follow and engaging. Notes posted online were incredibly useful resources. His obvious enthusiasm for teaching made going to class a lot of fun. He also went out of his way to help students, even holding a final review via Skype from Germany at 4am his time!

Awesome! Count your blessings if you get Squires for heat transfer. Word to the wise: take notes in pencil, as he writes equations by memory and signs/variables get jostled around a bit.

Squires is a very dynamic professor. He definitely stimulated my interest in the subject. His homeworks and tests are challenging, but fair. His only flaw is that he is too smart to teach the class and goes off on tangents... they are interesting tangents, but are pretty confusing in terms of the level of comprehension that we are required to have.

Great teacher. Probably one of the best you are going to get in the department. VERY cool guy who is interested in getting you to understand the material. The book we had to use for this course sucks so he pretty much stopped using it and taught us himself. The homework is really necessary to do well in the class.

cool guy

awesome!

he is a good teacher with a lot of enthusiasm, but too much material and not enough time. test were a little tough compared to homework
