Reviews of professor Blake Boren

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Class heavily uses a textbook with lecture slides making it easy to follow along with the course material. The textbook is expensive. Class is good for self-paced study.

Pretty easy going professor and course. Glad I could take it at my own pace. Lots of homework but there is partial credit.

Great for self-paced learners! Interactions are through recorded lectures and slides with communication through email and discussion boards, There is a fair amount of homework, but grading is lenient. Show your work and label diagrams. Exams have time limits, so be prepared. The online course is flexible and self-paced.

Only take this class if you want to teach yourself. Course just consists of the textbook and Boren's 60 slide power points which just repeat what the textbook says. Very slow to respond to emails and not super helpful. Timed exams are tough and he has no leniency for technical issues.
