Winter 2025 - This was a very interesting class with a basic rundown on techniques used in industry for micro/nanofabrication. It was fun learning about the theory, but the hands-on aspect of manufacturing was limited, as expected. The grading was very lenient. As long as you have a remote clue on what is going on, you should be fine. Homework can be confusing at times. I had no idea what to expect for the final, but in the end, it turned out all right. Professor Chen acts like a sweet grandpa - I love him, but sometimes I have no idea what he is yapping about. Overall, I would take this class again.

Spring 2024 - Can't recommend enough as a senioritis class. The TAs do the entire lab for you every time, and lab "reports" are just a couple short answer blurbs, straight from the lecture slides. No tests. The final project takes some research but if you put aside like a day for it you can finish it and survive his questioning. Doesn't have to take the full 20 minutes. He is often not clear in his communications but he is very knowledgeable and the lectures aren't too hard to follow.
