Reviews of professor Kallol Sett

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Makes course easy, but learned little from him. I stopped attending lecture and relied solely on the textbook due to his teaching. Be aware of this professor. EAS209 is a prerequisite for many courses. His lectures will not give you the required knowledge for the future. Had to derive complex stress transformation equations for exam 1 for no reason

Had him for mechanics of solids during the pandemic. Online class for me. Reasonable guy, and the class work was almost reasonable. He had the worst lectures Ive ever seen. Poor handwriting, messy slides, and he would write over the notes so it wasnt legible. Cant draw a diagram for his life. Couldve been the online setting, but it was bad

Professor Sett is a solid 3.5/5 professor. He is not a bad professor but tends to over complicate every topic. He rushes though certain topic but slows way down on others. He talks as though everyone in the class knows the topic and is disappointed when people answer wrong Take Human if offered.

Professor Sett is a nice guy but his lectures were hard to follow and focused on the wrong things at times.  Homework was easier than other professors at least.  Id recommend taking a different professor over Sett if possible.  If you value having shorter homework assignments and like teaching yourself the topics than he's your best option.

The class is officially CIE530 Mech Behav of Materials, but he teaches it as Mech Behav of Geo-Materials. He teaches this class in a way that was still quite useful (for non geo.'s) for learning plasticity theory. Assignments were time consuming, but infrequent. Very knowledgeable and a lenient grader. Prepare for indepd. reading. I do recommend!

Honestly, best professor I had in spring sophomore Mechanical Engineering. He emphasizes visuals rather than just the math which is important to become a successful engineer. He will give points back on test if you showed you tried and understood the concepts rather than getting the correct answer. Sett is a great professor !

The course isn't very hard at all, but he makes this class so boring. He just reads off his lecture notes, and most of the examples he does aren't in the lecture slides, he just draws a bad sketch of the problem and solves it in a confusing manner on the board. He is COVERED in CHALK all the time.
