Reviews of professor Randall Guensler

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Nice + knowledgable but lowkey intimidating. Class is notoriously time-consuming. 
Don't read the NEPA book. Prof goes over everything you need from the book during the lecture. Type notes + CTRL-F during exams = did not use book ONCE. 
Projects are a royal pain & info is overwhelming + unorganized. Start early and pray for a good group.

He gives good lectures but expects you to really think. His projects are challenging & will force you to ask him questions. He is always available in his office and willing to help. His tests are all written and include 1 or 2 five-paragraph essays. He tends to be late to class and gives tons of partial credit. Read or you won't pass.

Extremely heavy on reading and group projects. Summer semester has 3 weeks to read the entire textbook, 5 for regular. Make sure to annotate everything. Exams are open-note but exhaustive. Feels like a grad class. Lectures and projects are poorly structured. Very time demanding. Do not combine with a lab class if you're bad at writing.

Very knowledgeable and approachable. Took his Special Topics course on sidewalk and I would strongly recommend taking it. The content is interesting an the bulk of the class consists of a project that provides a good understanding of all the behind the scenes stuff that goes on in infrastructure projects.
