Panagiotis Dimitrakopoulos CHBE422 Expecting an A Anonymous 01/26/2026	Great professor! Lectures were paced well, and this is my most successful class by far. His lecture notes are concise and although he doesn't post them, he always makes sure we have time to write everything down. He writes down work on the whiteboard sometimes, and he made it clear whenever they were just optional work for extra understanding. The homework was reasonable, and he gives us more time on problems that we don't need or might want another lecture on. The exams focus more on concepts and theory, not on math, which I am very thankful for because this isn't a math class, and before every exam he sends out an email with topics we need to know and which homework problems could be relevant. He shows us video demonstrations of some concepts, and I ended up really enjoying the concepts in the class as a whole, personal interest or not. He's nice and sometimes he's also really funny, which is always a plus. He's now my favorite professor.
Panagiotis Dimitrakopoulos CHBE422 Expecting an A- Anonymous 12/24/2025	Panos has a pretty thick accent which makes it difficult to understand what he's saying at times. But he is very funny and nice guy, and tries to make the class less stressful. I don't rlly remember what happened in class, I think I spaced out for a good lot of it cause fluids is kinda boring. I also didn't rlly do the Hw's cause the TA does solutions for them before its due. That made me very stressed for the exam bc I literally had no idea what was going on. SOme on the HWs are like crazyyyy, like pages and pages of derivations and integrals. Luckily the exams are nothing like that. Panos will detail which concepts and hw problems to focus on, which are much more simpler problems. You get a cheat sheet which is nice. Understand the concepts well, bc the exams are more concept heavy that pure math. Understand what shear stress is, what the sign means, also don't say anything about Le chatliers principle here bc its not the right answer man. Exam 2, or the final was way worse. The Hws were insane, I rlly relied on discussion to complete it. The concepts are also more difficult, I think I was very lucky how the final played out, and what notes I happened to review. That being said, it would rlly help you to do the Hw. Not the crazy difficult ones, but the smaller problems which are concept heavy. The ave for exam 1 ~ 66% curved to 72% and exam 2 im guessing will be around 63%. I think there will be a generous curve, but aim for B's on the exam if you want an A.
