Reviews of professor Sergey Shevkoplyas

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
By far the WORST professor I have had. Not only has useless lectures, VERY HEARTLESS and unwilling to provide any help or guidance with homework or assignments. Very discouraging will try to convince you to leave engineering, don't fall for his trap.

Horrible professor. Lectures are boring, confusing, and largely irrelevant to homework and exams.

Main complaint is extensive lack of feedback with absurd grading. Averages on assignments would range anywhere from 50's to 70's on the high end. How can you expect students to improve and LEARN when you take off points without saying WHAT IS WRONG? You cannot improve and will be left repeating the same mistakes. Overall just matlab and proofs.

Aside from the inexplicable 80s I received all semester, I really don't understand others' problems with Dr. Shev. He is pretty funny and actually allowed us to turn in any missing assignments by the end of the semester with no late penalty. I do wish his grading criteria were clearer and that he were a little more lenient, but he's really not bad.

Just dont do it, words cannot describe how terrible of a professor.

He's a pessimistic professor that lacks empathy for his students, expects every single student to learn matlab on their own, and phrases questions poorly on tests. Unfortunately you'll have to take him since he's the only professor for this class which is FANTASTIC! Good luck lol

He assigns homework and tests with little to no instructions on what he wants or expects. A major project worth 30% of your grade is given two weeks to complete where we will give you little to no instruction. Expect to get 50s and 40s on everything you submit. Also, no curve.

Dr. S is hands down the best professor you could have who is super dedicated to the field of BIOE! The way he covers the topics in class makes it cool, implementing aspects of all STEM/ENGI, and a plus that he adds in funny jokes from time to time. HW/lectures are difficult (code & math heavy). Would've been 10x better in person but still amazing.

Awful.... but only frofessor that teaches BME processes. Professor relies heavily on his TA, Ms. Madeleine, and is not ready to answer student question regarding test scores. Ms. Madeleine grades very hard all tests and group projects. Also the TA is not ready to listen to the students and does not give enough information to complete a given task.
