Spring 2023 - Professor Bozorgnia gives one of the most engaging lectures I have seen in my years as an undergraduate. He really likes Earthquake engineering and will teach you the fundamentals and even some valuable topics like Design Spectrum. He has motivated me to pursue higher education and get my master's. The course has lots of content but definitely a solid elective with a fair workload. There is 6 homework that takes an hour or two at most and 2 quizzes that are really easy! I would 100% recommend it. Here is the breakdown of the grading: 30% Homework 30% Quizzes 40% Final Exam
