IPEC0240 with Obie Porteous14 days ago

This class was definitely difficult and fast paced, but Porteous is a great professor who clearly knows what he's talking about. There are plenty of ways to get help if you're struggling between TA hours and office hours with him. Exams actually weren't the most difficult, but the grading can be a little tough (but still very fair). Required for IPE but don't be too worried, this class is still very interesting and relevant to the modern world.

IPEC0304 with Gary Winslett2 months ago

This was a challenging yet rewarding class for the IP&E major. Professor Winslett expects a lot but is very clear in what he's looking for. It's a packed class so important to participate actively for the engagement part of the grade.

Professor Porteous runs the course really well. Everything is laid out clearly, and the non-cumulative exams make the workload much more manageable. The material is definitely difficult, but the problem sets and office hours help a ton with actually learning the concepts. You can tell he’s very passionate about the subject, which makes the class more engaging. The exams are hard, but there’s a curve, so it balances out
