Spring 2023 - Professor Bozorgnia gives one of the most engaging lectures I have seen in my years as an undergraduate. He really likes Earthquake engineering and will teach you the fundamentals and even some valuable topics like Design Spectrum. He has motivated me to pursue higher education and get my master's. The course has lots of content but definitely a solid elective with a fair workload. There is 6 homework that takes an hour or two at most and 2 quizzes that are really easy! I would 100% recommend it. Here is the breakdown of the grading: 30% Homework 30% Quizzes 40% Final Exam

Winter 2020 - I think the previous review was written by the professor himself - it certainly reflects his speaking style. The professor is rude and uncaring. He is encumbered by his research and other responsibilities. He demonstrates favoritism early on in the course. I don't think this professor understands what teaching is really about - he takes "sage on the stage" pretty seriously, because you can tell his has a massive ego over his work. I didn't walk away from the course with concrete knowledge on the subject matter beyond what I could read on my own on the PowerPoints. I don't recommend at all. You would expect this quality professor elsewhere, not at a UC.
