CEE 549 Fall 2010: Geoenvironmental Engineering
“Great course! Very well designed course, with good flow and material covered. Excellent teaching style by the instructor – very clear and covered material very effectively.” “I found the course material very interesting and the range of topics covered was appropriate. Prof. Zekkos is very thoughtful about his lectures and attentive to the students’ learning.”

“Excellent course!!! I found each and every lecture absolutely fascinating! I never enjoyed a class at UM as much as I did this one. Professor Zekkos was an excellent instructor. Always well prepared for class and answered all questions. The homework was for the most part reasonable difficulty. However I wish the homeworks were more design-orientated. For instance, given these parameters, design an landfill containment system etc. That would probably be my largest “issue” with the class, which isn’t really much of an issue. Once again, this was a great class – thank you for everything professor!”

“Excellent course – Prof. Zekkos is one of the best instructors I’ve had at UM. Really excellent instructor – clear examples and addresses all students questions well. I especially enjoy how he connects his course topics to the real world”

“This was a great course. I feel like I have gained alot of knowledge from it. The instructor did an excellent job and I admire his passion for the course content and for teaching. His teaching style was very practice-oriented and I feel that this was very beneficial to the students. I also greatly appreciate the instructor’s willingness to help students outside of class with not only the course content, but more importantly career goals. I feel that the instructor has made a great impression on me and that I will benefit from this course and the instructor’s advice for years to come.I have no suggestions for improvement. Perhaps, however it would have been nice if the semester project were assigned a little bit earlier in the semester to allow students to think about it as they learn the course material.”

CEE 544 Fall 2009: Rock Mechanics
“One of the strongest points in this course is the homework. I like the homework that makes the students put theories, equations, and so on from the class into practice. Even though it takes so much time to do the homework, it is so worth for the experience in engineering practice.” “The instruction was clear and presented in a logical

“The instruction was clear and presented in a logical manner. There seemed to be a reassuring connection between class concepts and real world applicability.”
“Very good course. I especially liked the semester project, and I learned a lot from having to do outside research on my own. It helped seeing many of the methods we discussed in class actually being used in the Publications”
“I enjoyed the method in which lectures were presented. The explanations were clear, and the explanation of concepts on the blackboard was helpful in learning the material. The homework assignments and research project were interesting and relevant. The instructor was very enthusiastic about the subject and imparted this to the students.”
