Duran we love you!!! Shell Ecomarathon was one of my favorite times at Mines. Hard work, but so much fun out in Indy.

I had Adam as my Professor for IDEAS. He's a genuinely nice guy, understanding and willing to work with you to succeed in his class.

I really enjoyed his module on ethical entrepreneurship and how much fun he made start ups and ethics. I'd take his class again in a heartbeat. 

Make sure to ask a lot of questions and he will help you out.

I had Adam for IDEAS. Hands down my favorite professor so far at Mines. He can be a tough grader, but he is willing to give you feedback and help you improve. I also never had a problem finding a time to meet with him outside of class. He genuinely cares and you can tell. I can't wait to take the 2nd semester with him in the Spring.

Duran is an incredible professor. He cares that you actually understand what's going on. He makes you think and never gets upset or makes you feel dumb.

I had Professor Duran for HNRS 105 and he did an excellent job. His grading is a little stricter compared to the other IDEAS professors, yet he is willing to adjust or regrade your assignments if you put in the work and make time to meet/engage with him. I would him for Thorson Students who are choosing their second IDEAS professor for semester 2

EDNS 151 that he teaches is basically a huge mess that asks for unreasonable design requirements and considerations. Apart from the heavy workload itself, Duran is an extremely hard grader who literally reads through everything you write and mercilessly docks points off by subjectively using the rubric. Expect hard work and low grades!

What can I say about Prof Duran? I took his 6 week short course (5 actually) and it was both extremely challenging and rewarding. His standards are quite high, but he was always there to answer any questions and help with assignments. He pushed us to succeed while also being supportive. I can't believe I learned so much is such a short time.
