Comment:

I failed ENME 495 3 times with Bauwens. His lectures leave you more confused. Final exams will have questions that he can't provide solutions for. It's pass final pass course for one of the harder technical subjects in mech engg, and with the most incompetent prof in the university. Mech department doesn't care about frequent complaints about him

He is by far the worst prof I have ever experience. He does not care for the success of any of his students and brags about how many students he has failed in the past

Comment:

Dr. Bauwens is the worst professor I have ever had. He is indifferent to student concerns, and at times, was outright disrespectful. His handwritten lecture notes were the only resource provided to students, He did not post his notes online and His tests followed very unusual formats. Bauwens did everything he could to set up his students to fail.

Possibly the worst teacher I have ever had. Extremely lazy and careless, if you have to take a class with him do yourself a favor and get the lecture notes of another prof because without them you're not going to have a good time. Also tests students online in the most nonsense way possible. Good Luck

Horrible prof. NEVER DO A CLASS WITH THIS IDIOT. The epitome of everything wrong with boomers. Will not answer midterm questions because his bum requires injections every time. Just retire Bauwens.

One of the worst Professors I have ever seen. His notes are extremely confusing and do not follow anything in the textbook. Puts no effort into teaching, just throws some notes up and writes unreadable chicken scratch. He told us he can put whatever he wants on a test, even stuff he hasn't taught at all! Should be removed from teaching.

Comment:

Bauwens is the worst professor in the entire Mech Department. He thinks that everything that he is doing is for the benefit of the students. Expect no help from him at all. Expect no useful practice questions. Expect no solutions to the practice questions (no final answer either). He does everything so we can 'learn'.

Avoid this professor. He doesn't realize that his students are not at the same intellectual level as him. Lectures are grad level physics classes and he covers stuff that doesn't exist in any textbook. He probably derived them all himself. Don't trust the textbook sections he posts for exam review he throws those together without verifying content.

He deducts marks for wrong answers on his exams, making an already stressed out cohort of students even more stressed. Mental health of students right now is abysmal due to stress caused by his grading policies. Does not answer emails clearly, raising more confusion with students.

This man, is the worst prof I have ever had in my life. There are no words to describe the agony that this man loves causing his students. He teaches as if he is an inexperienced TA. Multiple choice only midterm??? Negative marks??? Questions that grad students would struggle with??? brUh. I can't wait to drop the class before the final. Rip $600.

Luc Bauwens is by far the worst professor I've ever had at UofC. His lectures are next to incoherent ramblings that attempt to describe illegible calculus formulas which are drawn out without explanation. His written slides are filled with logical gaps and inconsistencies. On top of that he plagiarizes midterm questions from textbooks too.

By far the worst professor I've ever had. Horrible lecture notes that are extremely convoluted and full of integral after integral with jargon-filled explanations. You can barely listen because he just reads off his notes and I take in no information from lectures. In our MC test, he made it so that we get -1.3 for every multiple-choice wrong.

Unless you have no choice, do not bother taking any classes with Bauwens. You will learn very little, and pass only by memorizing the solutions to previous quizzes and exams. It is a shame that even after so many well known and well documented issues this man is still allowed to teach any ENGG courses at the u fo c.

Comment:

He is straight up a tool. He lies that he gave solutions to practice problems in class. Also doesn't care one bit for students. His exams are very unreasonable. Stays on the phone with someone while a student is in his office. His final exams are all "pass the final to pass the course". You see, this would work if he was actually a good teacher

I believe the only issue with Bauwens is he is too smart. Therefore teaching 3rd year classes is too easy for him and he glosses over things that we would find difficult.. other than that his classes were not that hard and he gave out marks easily if he saw you tried. He was rude to some students but I feel like they deserved it
