initial enrollment = ~85, final enrollment = 48. Hilarious isn't it? First time he taught an upper div and seemed to drive out like half the class. Harsh grading on the first midterm (i.e. lose major points for computational errors) probably had a lot to do with that. So he seemed cold at first, like other reviews have suggested. He actually ended up being pretty nice. He gave us what I thought was a pretty easy final, probably to help raise our grades (no curve in the class; he had a special scale) and reward those who decided to stick it out. My friend was actually a couple points short of an A (you needed 890 out of 1000 points total for the class). Lew ended up giving him the A anyways. Thus, at least from my perspective, he ended up being pretty nice, and not so cold as other people think. OK lecturer. Sorta acts like an oddball/nerdy, but that's alright.

Spring 2023 - Awesome professor. It is a very fun and interesting class that covers a good amount of material from the environmental FE Exam ( Air Quality and Control, Section 13). I enjoyed the class overall and he's very good at presenting the course material and the TA's are helpful. My only recommendation would be to make some of the wording on the exams clear. Sometimes the wording was not clear for what was being asked and it left many students unsure of what to do. Overall, I'm very happy that I took this course and I'd definitely recommend for others to if they are pursuing air quality/environmental engineering.
