David Kriesberg ENME272 Expecting an A Anonymous 05/05/2025	Kriesberg is alright. He goes too fast in lecture and takes forever to grade but he is better than Mazelpour because Kriesberg teaches at 9am instead of 8am. This class isn't hard and you won't struggle but lectures will be boring and you may be confused on the homework. But, if you like CAD you will get an A as he is a very lenient grader.
David Kriesberg ENME272 Expecting a B+ Anonymous 05/04/2025	Chill guy, but clearly does not look at the materials before presenting in class and goes way too fast. Don't bother emailing him because he won't answer. Professor Fazelpour does the grading for this class and it's honestly very harsh. If you like CAD, you'll like this class regardless. But if you have no experience then this will be one of your hard classes.
David Kriesberg ENME272 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/18/2024	David was a very kind and understanding teacher, and always explained things as needed and would go back in certain topics when he could tell people were confused. I had 0 CAD experience and he made it easy to learn. Highly recommend taking him.
David Kriesberg ENES100 Expecting an A- Anonymous 12/03/2024	Super helpful guy, wants to see you succeed. Keeps the class in check and makes sure everyone knows whats going on. Fun class, but very stressful at first, especially if your group is having problems. Overall cool guy and can get you a lot of ins at AJC.
David Kriesberg ENME272 Expecting an A Anonymous 11/29/2024	He is a very nice guy and a good professor as well. Goes through class content and has slides that can be used as notes for the homework. If you come in with 0 CAD knowledge, the homework will take a long time but it very important for getting better as CAD. As others have said, try to do the homework with others, and use the class GroupMe for help. Office hours are good and exams, although difficult in the moment, are graded very fairly. Easy to understand, and very reasonable guy (gives extensions, lenient about due dates, etc.) and would recommend.
David Kriesberg ENME272 Expecting a B Anonymous 11/25/2024	Pretty good professor. I came in with 0 CAD knowledge which made the first homework assignments take me over 10 or 15 hours a week. After around the 7th week I understood the topic more and the homework became much easier. Kriesburg is a good teacher and explains the concepts well. Often ends class early and allows students to ask questions. First midterm was pretty hard but 2nd was very comprehensive. Grading is overly fair in this class in my opinion, I sometimes should have received much worse grades. Would recommend for sure.
David Kriesberg ENME272 Expecting an A- Anonymous 06/09/2024	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.
David Kriesberg ENES100 Expecting an A Anonymous 06/06/2024	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.
David Kriesberg ENME272 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 05/23/2024	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.
David Kriesberg ENES100 Expecting an A- Anonymous 05/17/2024	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
David Kriesberg ENME272 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 05/07/2024	Class is not the most fun or very interesting, but he is a nice guy who will do his best to accommodate you.
David Kriesberg ENES100 Expecting a B+ Anonymous 04/13/2024	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.
David Kriesberg ENME272 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 12/26/2023	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.
David Kriesberg ENME272 Expecting an A- Anonymous 12/20/2023	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.
David Kriesberg ENES100 Expecting an A Anonymous 05/19/2023	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.
David Kriesberg ENES100 Expecting an A Anonymous 05/05/2023	Not a bad professor or person to take the class with and not as harsh as some other profs
David Kriesberg ENES100 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 02/10/2022	Very nice professor and is always there to help. He is very responsive to emails and is always hoping for the best for his students.
