The best engineering professor at Grand Valley. Make sure to take him for EGR-226. I wish I could take more classes with him but I am a mechanical engineering student.

Dr. Kandalaft was an amazing prof. His class is a very hard one as it is, but he wants everyone to succeed. There are weekly quizzes that are worth most of your grade, but they are only there to help you. Pay attention in class and see him in office hours and you should have no problem getting a good grade in the class.

Great teacher, always willing to help if you put in work. Loves to help with projects, and encourages creativity and independent thinking. Worst part is he always tries to convert students to convert to electrical and computer engineering, but his lectures are the best in the department.

I really enjoyed Dr. Kandalafts class. He gave very good explanations and used many real world metaphors when comparing the concept at hand with something simpler. He can be a jokester sometimes and digress from the lecture with a few of his anecdotes.

He's the best GVSU's Engineering program has to offer. He inspires everyone to work the hardest and encourages his students to push themselves harder. I would recommend every Engineering student to take him at least once.

Prof Kandalaft would often breeze through lectures, especially at the beginning, but he always explained well with good examples and would always clarify if asked. All the homework he assigned was graded on participation, which was clutch. Exams could be tough, but they were straightforward and not too bad if you study well for them. Overall great.

Kandalaft is definitely not a traditional teacher - which is refreshing. He has a mix of academic and professional experience which complements his caring demeanor. Make sure to go to him with concerns about your grade - I have never seen a professor so willing to work with you on a fair grade. He inspires students to think as engineers.

This class was so ridiculously hard for me and Professor Kandalaft was so extremely helpful and understanding. I can't imagine taking this class with a different professor. If you are struggling it is so important to take initiative to get help and show effort, and he will give you that help.

Dr. Kandalaft is the best professor I have ever had. I was in his 227 lab and honestly I miss it so much. Every week I was excited to go in, he made labs so low stress and fun. He has high expectations and he is hard on you, but he will do everything possible to help you reach those heights . He loves teaching and it really shows.

To be honest, I did not like him the first half of the semester because I didn't quite understand his personality and it didn't mesh well with mine. But, as I went to his office hours and got to know him, I started to like him more and developed a good relationship. He does have high expectations and is hard on you, but it's for your good

At the beginning I thought he was going to be a tough professor but he ended up being super nice and very lenient! He is very understanding and as long as you give it your best he will set you up for success.

Professor Kandalaft is an amazing teacher who goes above and beyond to help students succeed. The class is challenging but manageable if you put in the work. Unstuck study AI is a great tool to supplement the course materials.

Worst class I've taken so far, class is so difficult, professor was weird and unhelpful. Do not recommend esp if you are trying to learn in a comfortable environment.

This class is difficult, but professor Kandalaft is a great professor. It is obvious that he cares and will go out of his way to help students. I learned a lot from his lectures, I found them very helpful. If you have a question, he responds very promptly by email. The labs take a ton of time and effort, but going through it will teach you so much.
