Professor Carta is a great lecturer; he has a great intuition for the material that he teaches, and his lectures are very well organized. The course isn't really that textbook-based, even though you can learn some of what he teaches in class. Makes very useful handouts to study off of, and extremely helpful with office hours. Problem sets are only a few problems, but they can get VERY lengthy if you don't understand everything that's going on.

This course will determine if you want to be a chemical engineer or not. Carta is the man, but this class is a good display of what chemical engineering is. If you are thinking about switching, do it immediately. The courses only get harder

Carta is an EXTREMELY knowledgeable professor and really understands the material. He goes through some ideas rather quickly assuming you understand basic things and the entire class is a bit fast paced. The tests are VERY difficult because of the time constraint, so do lots of practice problems to get prepared. Do not wait until the last minute to do the project, start as early as you can! The TA session was sometimes helpful, but Carta's usually better. The book was not THAT helpful, only for the problems but the reading sometimes helped clarify things, not by much though. The overall class was just difficult for me to grasp so get help ASAP if the material is not understandable at first! Goooooddd luck if you decide to take this!

Carta teaches well. Just do the Homework and go to class and it will be easy to get an A.
