He is a great instructor. He throws good amount of assignments and can be overwhelming but he is very helpful during weekly drill if you ever get stuck. I've learned a lot and really liked the class.

Great teacher for very difficult subjects. Very helpful and thorough. Willing to work with you. Don't expect to ace his tests, but if you do well on the homework, which he will give you plenty of help on, he will usually curve in your favor.

Comment:

Couvillion is OK, but his lack of interest is obvious. Couvillion teaches a lot of the thermal sciences at the undergrad and grad level. At the grad. He simply dos not care. Lectures notes are at least two years old, and the lectures the same too (after 2 years). The dept needs to alt. professors bottom line. One prof should not be the gate keeper.

Dr. Couvillion is super cool! Not going to lie, tough class, but the material is covered in class and its clearly taught. Homework is difficult but just go to drill and office hours. Tests are HARD! but study hard and theyre open book/notes so don't worry too much. Definitely recommend this guy and would take one of his classes again.

Homework is very difficult. The tests are even worse. Makes the course harder than it needs to be. If you go ask a question, he acts like its a waste of time. I like the Couve as a guy, but I would never want him as a teacher.

He's a great teacher. HW and tests are extremely difficult. You really have to know your stuff. I've been told, nobody really knows what's going on in this class but if you just plow through it you should be fine...I now feel the same way.

tsad was kinda hard, his homeworks are kind of difficult but he does help a lot if you ask him and also helps a lot if you go to drill and ask him there, no textbook, and 3 tests plus the final to replace your lowest one, tests are similar to the hw's, the class is difficult material and your final grade will reflect on how you like the couv or not

Strange person, but his teaching skills are superior. The MEEG department professors have the worst teaching skills of all campus (and the most unhelpful faculty in general), but The Couve makes up for it.

One of the few classes I actually looked forward to. Couvy is an awesome professor, always willing to help if you're willing to work. If you're not, then he doesn't have time for you. Extremely fair, tough, and funny. And he played football with us at the ASME picnic. How much more awesome can you get?

.....very very strange individual. Helpful and interesting but is easily sidetracked and always has a clueless expression on his face. Yet overall I guess he was an okay teacher.

His tests are extremely tough; you really have to bust your butt to do well. If you go to class, he'll give you any extra help you need. If you don't pay attention, or skip a lot, he'll completely blow you off when you go to him for help. Work hard and pay attention. You'll be rewarded in the end.

intro to ME. seems really cool. when you talk to him one on one, he's a real jerk. has fun projects, and the class is overall easy yet fair. only class i ever took with him, but he's funny and trivial, and fair. out of class, he thinks you're just a waste of time.
