Reviews of professor Sven Behrens

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Honestly, Behrens was a good teacher, but I didn't really use his resources as I didn't need it. If you're nervous about this class, just focus on learning via the GPS problems in the labs, and asking the TA's as many questions as possible. If you desperately need help, go to your prof's office hours.

I took this online during the summer fully online. The class is manageable as long as you watch the lecture videos provided (which are all taught by a different professor). Tests are tough, but fair, as he posts previous exams as study materials. Grading scale is great, and homeworks/labs are easy. Overall a great course.

Dr. Behrens provides one of the most balanced experiences I've had in the ChBE department at Georgia Tech. I really appreciate that he creates original exams and quizzes every semester even if he is teaching the same class. He is also an ACTUALLY funny guy, which makes it that much better to be in lecture. Overall, a PHENOMENAL professor!

I wouldn't recommend going to lectures for any Physics 2 class, as the videos and GPS practice problems teach well. But if you wanted extra clarification on subjects, Dr. Behrens was an amazing help. It's clear he cares about his students and will explain any topic you need help on, all while keeping 75-minute lectures from being sleep-inducing.

Caring and wanted his students to succeed. Posts lecture slides before class and after class with annotations, answers questions in class, and keeps students updated on the course. At times lectures were long and monotonous but he tried to keep them interesting and covered a lot of examples. He also always stayed on pace with HW/GPS.

I never went to his lectures because most of the content can be learned online, but when I did, he did a great job of finding work arounds or explaining the content in new ways for the exams. The exams for our year were not difficult and many of the questions were the same as the GPS (but I think Dr. Greco did the exams) - Behrens was great though.
