Comment:
Weekly group projects where you get to meet other intelligent people in the same major. Has great lectures and explains problem-solving strategies needed for homework. He is accessible outside of the classroom either during in-office hours or online (loves using nectir). Overall awesome professor, make sure you get to know him!

Comment:
Professor Chada did a good job teaching our intro ChemE class. He knows the material well and is really accessible outside of class if you need help. He did a lot of practice problem with me before the exams and it helped me do much better in ChE 5. I appreciated him bringing us guest lecturers to learn more about the industry.

Dr. Chada is a really nice prof who wants you to learn the content well. He always keeps you updated about assignments as well as where the class is going. HW can be tough, but it's in groups. The midterms he gives you plenty of time, though they are not easy. Make sure to do some extra textbook problems. Positive guy, you can't go wrong with him.

Comment:
Chada is super nice and really cares about setting up his students for their future. Video lectures are easy to understand and in meetings he goes through more example problems. Pretty much all group work. HW can be tough but Chada and TAs are accessible if you have questions. Midterm/Final is easy if you can do the problems from lectures/meetings.

Comment:
The course is hard, but not with this professor. He explains things crystal clear and is available all the time outside class. Yes, He assigns more homework and projects than other professors, but these projects are hands-on. Being chemical engineering students, you already choose a challenging route. Why not make it more awarding by learning more?

Comment:
Quite a bit of work for a 3 unit class. Everything is done in groups, so your homework and project groups matter a lot. He teaches the class a bit quickly, but covers a lot of interesting concepts that we'll use throughout our undergrad.

Comment:
Assigned 3 to 4 times the amount of homework as other classes. Is very impatient while also very poor at explaining topics, which is a rough combination when you are trying to learn. Makes too many notation errors in his notes making them sometimes impossible to understand. Avoid this professor, it will help your understanding and your gpa.

Always strange, trivial grading rubric for homework and projects. You can not find any requirement in description of homework and projects but there would be a lot when you view your score on Gradescope.

Comment:
Homework was not that difficult, but it really depends on your homework group since he assigns them. He goes fast sometimes in lecture but he posts his notes online, although it is difficult to read. The group project is ok, but again it depends on your group. Exams aren't bad if you do the practice problems he posted.
