Comment:
Dr. F is a hard grader. If you show up, do the work, and do the extra credit you should be fine. No one is worse than me at math and I still got an A in the class based off of the work and effort I put into the non-math assignments. Its A LOT of work but great extra credit opportunities that help a lot.

Prof Shirley can grade a little harshly, but she is just making sure you learn everything you need. Keep up with the work and you will do great.

Comment:
she is very nice and very thorough when writing and explaining notes. she is very intelligent but understands that not everyone learns at the same pace, and she is always willing to stay after class or office hours to help. she grades very easy if you show all your work, but studying definitions and formulas is a must. I highly recommend her

The workload is ridiculously high as compared to any other engineering class. Her homeworks are extremely long and takes time to write out the question etc. She is out to get you at any chance she gets.

She is a very nice lady, shows interest in her students, and grades fairly. (Not always easy to find in the EGR department). There is a fair amount of reading but the homework does not take that long. She is very passionate about her work and is incredibly knowledgeable. Overall I enjoyed the class.

Comment:
She's odd, preaches the 'gospel' of Jane Jacobs, schedules walks around the city on the coldest days, grades homework and tests by the next class period (most of the time), really believes in what she is teaching, and is certainly willing to help in her own peculiar way. Seriously though, if you pay attention, and do the hw, you'll be fine.

The best engineering teacher at GVSU. Homework mandatory & turned around quickly. Wish all the engineering courses were as good as hers.

Comment:
This class was really pointless. I mean, sure, you learn about cantilevers and forces and all, but didn't we learn this in Physics in High school? Plus, all she says is "Jane Jacobs this" and "Jane Jacobs that," unless she is talking about proper insulation and water heaters. You'll see what I mean if you unwittingly take this class.

Comment:
She doesn't use blackboard at all which is agervating. we're assigned 3 books and the one barely has anything to do with the subject, in fact on the back of the book it says sociology. Jane Jacobs is the author and she has an extreme love for her and the book is the worst piece of litature i've ever seen or read.Do homework her way, simple as that.

She is nice, a good teacher, and everything that everyone else says, but REDICULOUSLY AND IMPOSINGLY RELIGIOUS. GV is a public univeristy, not private or religious so she should not talk about the "master engineer".

You idiots wouldn't know a real fluids class if it bit you. Sailboat races are for morons who need entertainment. If you could write down and solve the equations for that toy boat, it would be quite different. But YOU wouldn't know that.
