Fall 2021 - A very easy class and a pretty good intro to mechanical and aerospace engineering. I took it online pass/no pass, and the grading was fully based on attendance. The only homework assignment was to make a LinkedIn account, but it was more of a suggestion than an actual assignment.

Fall 2021 - I'll be honest here, Eldredge might be my favorite engineering professor I've had here. His lectures have a great flow to them with his own personality that makes them very engaging. He doesn't use any slides and writes everything out live so for me personally that really helped me focus and stay awake. Homework is fairly reasonable but I do recommend going to discussion regularly to have a much easier time on them. He gives extra credit problems sometimes too and if you do them all, you can get up to something like an extra 4% to your grade. The tests were reasonable though there are three midterms in addition to a final, which may seem weird at first. Each midterm was only one question that probably took no more than like 40 minutes though and he drops your lowest midterm score so that helps a lot. They aren't terribly difficult - many people got a 100% on multiple midterms. We started out the quarter with in person tests but he switched over to online halfway through so hopefully he keeps that next time he teaches. But yeah, clear, engaging, patient and pretty much everything a good professor should be. This sure isn't an easy class but if you take him, you're in good hands.

Professor Eldredge is probably the best professor I have had at UCLA. He took an inherently difficult class and presented it in a clear and concise way. The class requires a decent amount of work, but it is a very interesting subject, and doing the homework correctly pays off big time on the tests.
