Reviews of professor Carlos Romero-Talamas

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Talamas is very accessible, you just need to ask for help! If you keep up with the class and assignments, the exams are pretty fair. There are quizzes every class but they're easy and not worth much, so if you miss one is not a big deal.

Better to talk to 1-on-1 and is very nice, but during lectures he seems to read and draw diagrams word for word directly out of the book. If you write down the examples and study from that, you should be fine. He enjoys telling real life applications of concepts which is interesting but makes a hard class even harder reading directly from the book.

I enjoyed taking this elective with Prof. Talamas. We had to read and discuss articles everyday, and we covered a lot of material of different energy sources. The assignments were constant but not too hard. Nuclear energy was new for me, but I feel that I learned a lot about the issues and the technology.

Best class in my senior year! Classes are super interesting. I wish I had taken more classes with this prof!

I enjoyed this class and the discussions we had every day. I had to be absent for several days because of health reasons. The prof helped me catch up with the class and gave me the chance to submit overdue homework. He was always available to meet and he was very patient with me. I recommend this class to anyone that wants to learn about energy.

I've enjoyed this class from the beginning. If you keep up with the reading and homework you'll be fine with this class. If you ask the prof. about thermo problems outside class, he'll work out the problems with you even if they are not the assigned problems (ask him about spacecraft!). The teaching assistants have also been super helpful.

One line, Don't do it gang. Take Sanchez, Carlos does a quiz everyday of class with no definitive understanding of what on, no study guides for quizzes or exams, structure of the lecture is clear but he USED CHALK in a lecture hall in 2022 so most of the class walks out after the mandatory test at the begin, that should tell you all for real.

Talamas is always willing to help inside and outside the classroom. You just need to reach out for help. Lots of assignments and quizzes, but not hard.

Thermo is a required course and Prof. Romero-Talamas was great teaching it. Will definitely take another class with him.

if you ask him questions about your exams he will literally deduct points from questions you got correct.
