Chill guy, good professor. The homework grading in 272 was overly strict imo, but I imagine that's just how the course goes and not Kriesberg's fault. Would recommend.

Very chill, always came to check on our group and provided great feedback and ideas for our OTV. Could do better on the scheduling side of things, as date changes were very prevalent, but he gave our class a lot of necessary extensions which was very helpful. If you get David, you will have a good time in ENES100.

Professor Kriesberg is definitely a better teacher than Fazzelpour so if you can take him. Fazzelpour although actually better at CAD, is hard to understand because of his accent and is a harder grader. Fazzelpours tests are also much harder, Kriesberg's tests were the same for both of his sections and were relatively easy. Kriesberg sometimes got lost or forgot how to fix something in CAD but it wasn't that bad. He also let us out of class almost always 30ish minutes early which was great because this class is at 8 am. The homework and tests are very harshly graded so make sure you are very specific and review everything at least twice (try to do the homework with someone else if you aren't that good at CAD) Everyone gets an A on the project as long as you try and actually do what they want (doesn't need to be perfect). The first test is harder than the second, so definitely do all the practice they give you if you have no previous experience (like I did). You should like this class (voted best class at ASME by all juniors and seniors) MechE's do a lot of CAD so I would be worried if you don't like making CAD at all, not that it isn't hard, just that it should be satisfying and that you should want to learn more of it. You also can get certified at the end (CSWA exam) which if you get an A and do the practice test it isn't hard (good resume booster) although you have to come back a week after finals to take it.

pros: - for enes100: the class is revolved around a group project. if he knows the entire class isn't able to meet an assignment deadline, he'll push the deadline - decent guy, knows his shit - for enme272: flexible with deadlines cons: - he doesn't grade ANYTHING till the end of semester. grading feels random at times. - due dates are super unclear on ELMs. there was one instance where the entire class found out an 80 point presentation was due in two days. - for enme272: no lecture recordings

currently in both his enme272 and enes100, he's a nice guy and is decent at explaining things. both classes are rather disorganized (everything dumped on elms, due dates are unclear for enes100, forgets to post things for 272), grading takes super long and feels random at times.

Great professor and really cares about teaching well and prioritizing how well students learn above prioritizing some bad grades they had in the past when it comes to final scores. Cares about people doing their part in group projects.

If he senses something wrong he'll take off points, and grading is a bit of a mess in this class. Other than that, he's a super chill and understanding guy and would definitely recommend.

He’s there to help and provides great feedback. While his grading can be confusing at times, he recognizes the effort you put in, especially if your OTV ends up failing.

Not a bad professor or person to take the class with and not as harsh as some other profs
