Erik Solhaug

I really enjoyed this class; however, Professor Solhaug's teaching style is definitely a hit-or-miss, depending on how you learn. The class is mainly dependent on the textbook and relies heavily on you doing the reading every night. The lectures are just pictures from the book with the occasional extra example. The group work and take-home problem sets are TOUGH, but Solhaug is always willing to meet with you if you don't understand a concept. I found Professor Solhaug very accommodating and would take a class with him again if given the chance.

I loved taking this course with Erik. He is extremely enthusiastic and wants his students to learn and care. He did not have any tests and it was largely project based. We also were given a lot of freedom in lab and on the project subjects.

This class uses labor-based grading so if you complete all of the assignments and put in effort it is not hard to do well. Professor Solhaug wasn't always super effective in conveying the ideas in lecture but the textbook was helpful and he was very enthusiastic. He was also very willing to go over things multiple times and was super helpful in office hours!
