Reviews of professor Ryan Milcarek

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I'm so glad I took Milcarek instead of the other professors. As stated, he held office hours 4 times per week and I would recommend going to them, as he was very helpful and would go over practice problems that related to exam material. You WILL have to put in work but as long as you follow the lecture notes and pay attention in rec., he's the best

Best professor for thermo, definitely cares about his students and enjoys teaching the material. The exams were super hard - almost no one finished their midterms in time. That was the only downside but since it was coordinated class that affected all students. If you have the ability, I would highly recommend taking thermo with Milcarek.

Milcarek is an amazing professor. He is always available to help you if you are struggling. The lectures are engaging and good to attend. Everything in this class was great up until the final project. They went with something new and it just didn't work well. Also pray your lab group is good, and always start early, you will struggle if you don't.

A genuinely caring and reasonable professor, which is hard to come by. Always responds to emails and is super helpful in office hours. His lectures are pretty engaging and the quizzes never felt unfair. But this is a tough class. Lab reports are a slog and the final project is ruthless. If you have to take this class, you want to take it with him.

Professor Milcarek was a very insightful instructor for introducing me to ASU/Fulton. His presentations and specialization in energy engineering gave me a good outlook on things to consider pursuing in the future.

Dr. Milcarek is one of the best professors I've had in my 5 years at ASU. This was the first time that Combustion was offered in several years and he did a fantastic job at covering the major topics without being overwhelming. Tests were very fair and followed the homeworks and lecture content. If you show up and put in the effort you'll be fine.

The professor is great! He genuinely cares about student's learning and explains hard concepts in an easy, graspable way. This course was being redesigned when I took it, so the labs were a bit extra and required a lot of work. It is absolutely crutch you get a good lab group for this class.

Milcarek is one of the best professors at ASU so take him for any class you come across. Lectures were long but engaging enough to stay awake. No homework in the class and the only exam is a final (not difficult). The labs are time consuming so pair yourself with a good group. TA's do the labs so they're not too helpful. Easy class overall.
