Comment:
Computational Dynamics was easily one of the best classes I took at Gonzaga. Course continually challenged me, but was also continually rewarding. Very code intensive and a difficult class. However, working with peers for the group homework assignments allowed for a great learning environment and the professor was very helpful when you needed help.

Comment:
One of the best professors in the Gonzaga Engineering Department. Professor Fitzgerald is very very knowledge and does his best to over come the challenge that is teaching System Controls in one semester without a lab. He's very accessible outside of class during office hours and will often stay later to help his student grasp a concept. Great guy.

Great professor that really enjoys engineering and cares about his students. Willing to give individual attention to students to help solidify concepts. Definitely not the easiest but if you put in the time and go to office hours you should do well. Very hilarious during lectures and a great guy to crack a joke with. Would play spikeball with too.

Comment:
Good lecturer, goes over examples and is very responsive to questions in class. Accessible in office hours, and flexible to make sure you can meet and have questions answered. He is a funny guy and, even though there is a lot of homework and course load feels excessive, he genuinely wants to see you learn the material and do well in his class.

As im writing this before my controls exam, I am just thinking about how great this professor is. I learned so much from him and his lectures in class were amazing. He helps so much during office hours and is hilarious. He really want you to understand the material and knows alot about it too. Would take again without a doubt. Put in the work tho.

Professor Fitzgerald is an awesome teacher at Gonzaga and is very funny during class. You need to always go to class and keep up on the homework or else you can get very behind quickly. He's very easy to talk to and is more than happy to help with homework questions (start the homework early). Two tests and a final. Fair grader.

Fitzgerald is a great professor with an awesome sense of humor. You get what you work for out of the class. If you come to class and keep up on the homework and material you'll do fine. Tests are challenging and make you really know your stuff. Learned a lot in his dynamics and controls courses. Definitely made those sections easy on the FE exam.

Two tests, homework, and a final are all you get to get a decent grade. First test average was around a 50. He is just terrible; his lectures are intense; he's condescending and arrogant. Do not take if you do not have to. I did not realize he would be this terrible, and I really have no positives to say about him.

Comment:
Fitz was the one of the hardest and worst professors I have had at Gonzaga hands down. His lecture style was horrific, his tests were a nightmare, and his pompous personality in class made System Dynamics and Controls the worst class experience in my life. I hated everything about his class. First test class average: 48%
