Reviews of professor Kalana Pothuvila

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Kalana is a really solid professor for ME 3333 (Dynamic Systems and Vibrations). His lectures are useful for the homework and getting an idea of what is on the quizzes and exams. He is very clear what will be on the exam, and provides enough homework that is mainly for you to practice. Received and A and I felt like I learned what I was supposed to

Great professor and takes care of students. Go to lectures and learn through homework if needed and you will pass.

I took this class during the summer session, and it felt like he did a great job covering most of the material needed for ME 4334 in a short span of time. Definitely reccommend taking the homework seriously as that material is what the exams are incredibly based on. Overall efficient teaching style and caring professor!

At first I was struggling with dynamics. I then started to go to his office hours and slowly my grades started to improve. He is really nice and is willing to help raise your grade(test or quiz). I passed because of him he helped me understand dynamics but I also had to put in more hours of study. Show him that you try and he will help. TAKE HIM!

Kalana is very nice, but I don't feel as if I actually learned anything in the class.. Grading was not punctual, and whether or not this is due to COVID, the final project was assigned less than 2 weeks before the date of the final (the due date for the project) and the description of the project was, at best, very unclear.
