Jeffery Klauda CHBE302 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 05/21/2025	Honestly, Klauda gets a bad rap; while the lectures are fast and at times very complex, the exams only cover the most basic applications of what was taught in lecture. He is the most generous teacher I've had when it comes to partial credit. He is extremely smart and will answer any question you have, sometimes with a little sass. The homeworks get a little repetitive and bland with the amount of coding, but ultimately it helps a lot with understanding the course content. Overall, great class, you just have to follow along through the elms notes and make good formula sheets and this class will not be your hardest.
Jeffery Klauda CHBE302 Expecting a B+ Anonymous 05/21/2025	The course content compared to thermo 1 is much more simpler and easier to do. Klauda gives decent examples in his notes that are 70% of the time the same as the HW, quizzes and even exams. Bro talks kinda quiet, mumbling off at the end. His notes are SO messy to read, but generally you can just copy from the textbook. Have a good partner for the HWs and GO to office hours, you will do well on Hw and quizzes then. The exam ave were 70s, final wasn't too bad. I just don't get how these professors can teach for decades and still suck at teaching. Klauda goes on and on which derivations and equations, that we are NEVER using, and aren't even understanding. Like out of the 20 eqns he derives, we use maybe 3 of them per lecture. Unfortunately you have to take this class, with Klauda, so too bad so sad. Good luck
Jeffery Klauda CHBE302 Expecting a B Anonymous 05/18/2025	The lectures are taught at an extremely fast pace so it is helpful to follow along with the notes that he posts to canvas before each lecture. His exams were fair and he always gave practice exams that were pretty helpful. The homework can be difficult because not all of it is directly related to problems from class but the TA office hours were usually good for that. He posts all of his lecture notes and slides on canvas (except answers to practice problems, which he does in class). If you study and do problems from the homework, quizzes, and in class, you should expect to do ok in the class.
Jeffery Klauda CHBE302 Expecting a P Anonymous 04/22/2021	In all honesty this professor is really intelligent, but somewhere along in 302 this man's exam makes me want to puke. His research is really intelligent. He is soft spoken, and does not make the class interesting at all. Maybe do like an experiment in the back of your house or something. He overwhelms you with all this information and equations that you probably cannot even do on paper. He honestly makes the class harder than it has to be. In my experience use another book call Fundamental of thermodynamics. The homeworks are so hard that you lose motivation and do not even want to study. His exams are not fair at all to the students, he rushes over partial derivatives to be used in thermo and that ends up being 35% of thermo 2, in all honesty good luck but you do not have a choice!!!
