Xianfeng Yang ENCE370 Expecting an A Anonymous 05/14/2024	Pretty straightforward class. Overall coursework and grading felt fair. Exams were relevant to coursework and homework. Terry does a good job accommodating his students. He took feedback after each exam on what he could improve and was open to changing due dates as to not overwhelm us. Would totally recommend.
Xianfeng Yang ENCE370 Expecting an A Anonymous 04/27/2024	Nice professor, reasonable exams. He is decent at explaining and kind. HOWEVER, there are too many assignments. They aren't too challenging, but the workload can get overwhelming if you are taking 370 as your easy course while taking a bunch of other hard classes. Just don't go in expecting to do almost anything in this class.
Cinzia Cirillo ENCE370 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/22/2023	LOVE Cirillo. Her lectures are generally easy to follow and she goes over the topics again in the next class if needed. She loves talking about her past students and hyping up any and all of their work on the final project. Overall, her PowerPoints have little to no important info so you do need to go to class to follow the work on the board but exams are open book and she is so sweet.

Paul Schonfeld ENCE370 Anonymous 12/15/2013	I have never had a worse professor in my entire life. DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASSES unless you don't have an option. He tells us he's fine with the averages of his exams being 30s and 40s and doesn't really care for anyone to do any better. His teaching style is absolutely terrible. He makes notes and just talks the whole time in a totally random order and unorganized way and i never had a clue what he was talking about. The only good thing about him is that apparently he doesn't really fail anyone so there must be a MASSIVE curve.
Lei Zhang ENCE370 Expecting an A Anonymous 01/20/2011	Great professor and a really nice guy. He wants the students to learn and does not make his exams tricky. It is all rather straight forward. Homeworks count as a large portion of the grade (as do projects) so be on top of it. I highly recommend him.
Paul Schonfeld ENCE370 Anonymous 01/22/2010	Don't take a class with this guy unless you absolutely have to for your degree. He taught the class totally unorganized, expected way too much out of the students, and was completely not willing to take criticism or help those that asked for it. The average grades on his exams were in 40's and he was content with that.
