If you don't walk out of his class without having laughed your ass off, and 1 or 2 funny things to say, you have no soul whatsoever. I can't stress enough how hysterical this guy's mannerisms become after awhile. I didn't learn anything, but it was the easiest A I've ever had. It was worth it to go to class just to listen to his ridiculous and bizarre references to things that had absolutely nothing to do with the class. He is my capstone adviser now. . . not sure if that was a good idea, but I bet it will be hilarious nonetheless.

What a unique professor - this guy might be one of the craziest people I've ever met. He makes terrible jokes, and will randomly bust out into creepy laughter. However, BIOE241 is a decent course. I came into the course with zero programming experience, and have come out learning a lot. The course is divided into two halves - C, and then MATLAB. The class is "easy", but you still have to put work into it. All of the lecture notes are online, which are important to read. The tests were open note/internet (NOT open people) and were easy if you came to lecture, did the homework, and read the online notes. Every once in a while there would be some really challenging problem on the homework, but otherwise it was not bad.

One of the few classes (BIOE471) I am taking this semester that students regularly attend. Still helpful to read the textbook because the class covers a lot of material. Exams are fair, aren't meant to be tricky, but tend to be long and require understanding the material well. Keep up with the hw because it does end up affecting your grade

Very funny and seemingly high on life all the time. Montas was VERY helpful for homework and any other help you could ask for. HW and projects were fair, easy if you had help from him or the TA.

Although he seems pretty whacked-out most of the time, he can be quite helpful if you can get him to focus on your question (might take a few tries). He definitely knows his stuff, and he's a great resource for questions about analog and digital electronics, as well as anything computer-related. ENBE/BIOE 241 is a very easy class. The tests are open-book, open-note, and open-internet. He posts all of his lectures online, so you can look at them while you take his exams. Homeworks and project weren't hard, either.

His class is really easy and its not really necessary to go to lectures, but he is a riot. What other professor would share a pizza recipe with a class for 30 minutes? He really really knows his stuff and you can surprisingly learn quite a bit if you wanted to.
Hubert Montas BIOE241 Expecting an A- admin 10/23/2007 This review was automatically imported from OurUMD. It was not manually verified and may not follow our review standards.	Went to lecture only about 4 times. Montas tends to ramble/mumble about MATLAB, C, the moon, or whatever else is on his mind that day. He has a quirky sense of humor if you get it (I didn't). Lectures are posted online. There is a weekly homework assignment, midterm/final, and a project. Midterm and final are open-internet/notes so they aren't really a problem. If you already have had exposure to C and MATLAB, then this class isn't worth attending. If you haven't, use your class time to read through Montas' notes instead of listening to him-you'll learn more.
