Fall 2019 - This is a review for MSE 104, which isn’t listed yet. I thought she was a decent professor, but not super engaging and sometimes hard to understand. Her tests were tricky and often focused on tiny details. A lot of the information on the tests came directly from lecture and were really hard to find anywhere else, so it was pretty important to pay attention in lecture. She was super nice and tried to learn everyone’s name. If you’re super interested in materials science I would definitely go to her office hours and talk to her about the detailed stuff! If not, you can probably take this class and just read the textbook and do just fine. I thought it was a little harder than I would’ve hoped for this class. The grade scheme was very nice (2 quizzes, 1 midterm, HW, final).
