Comment:
Professor Drake lacks enough content to make the Senior lab into two classes (498 and 499) many lectures end up covering a very mundane and simple topic that gets dragged out for an entire lecture because he needs things to go over. For instance many lectures end up being about things like Word's equation editor or how to input section breaks.

Prof Drake is amazing. He is so caring, and makes sure that every student is where they need to be before he moves on. He assigns a lot of homework, but its easy. He's a little unclear on what he expects, but he will help you. He knows the material VERY well, and always goes above and beyond. 100% would recommend. He returns grades almost instantly

Amazing Prof. His lectures are so detailed and thorough. Homework is assigned every day but I personally liked that as it was a great learning tool. He goes above and beyond to be available outside class, he has answered my questions at 2 AM before. Very nice professor, would take him again and again. All materials are graded and returned very quck

Comment:
He is very unorganized and has difficulty holding a classes attention. He seems really un willing to tell people to shut up in his class. That coupled with how quietly he talks means you have to sit in the front to hear or constantly tell people around you to hush. he will just go on lecturing quietly. He really is nice to a fault. Good prof.

Comment:
Lots of homework, but he doesn't really care when you turn it in. Labs are very long and grueling but he goes through every equation and concept beforehand. If you can get through a lab, you are more than prepared for his tests. He is a great teacher and actually cares that his students understand the course.

You need to put a little time into this class! Not to inportant that you get your homework in on time. He like never marks you down. He wants to make sure that you grasp the concept. The final was terrible!!!! Set up a little cushion before the final! Great guy! More than willing to spend time with the students to clear things up! Review before tes

Drake is a great professor...always willing to help you in lab. Lectures can be boring at times. Make sure you figure out what want to do for your project early because by the time he gets around to doing them, the semester will have about 24 hours left

Very good teacher. My personal favorite in MET. Helps out whenever possible, good sense of humor, tells exactly what will be on tests. Lots of homework, but it boosts your grade if you just do it. No points off for doing it wrong-AWESOME GUY!
