Joel Kent is a great professor, he is clearly passionate about the topics he teaches and does a great job covering all aspects of BIOE5250. The final group project could use a little more instruction, but otherwise everything in the class is very straightforward. He also makes himself easily available outside of class.BIOE5250 2025-12-03 20:51:40 +0000 UTC
Professor does not follow the schedule he created in the syllabus. Professor needed to release each assignment to view it but he was silent for weeks then assigns 4 weeks worth of work at once. It would have been much better if all assignments were released at once. The best way to make this course better is to fine another professor.RGA6210 2022-07-06 13:05:12 +0000 UTC
