Professor Bozorgnia was a great lecturer. He emphasizes everything that he quizzes on and there’s absolutely no surprises come test day. Homework’s are really short and straightforward and the final is exactly like the quizzes. Very solid class, easy to do well. Lectures aren’t mandatory but they’re sometimes pretty interesting and I’d say worth going to.

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
