Extremely disorganized. Lectures are useless, all done through power-point. It seems like he gets irritated when you ask him to do an example on the board. If you want to learn corrosion go somewhere else.

His lectures are useless and a waste of time! Lectures are all powerpoints and extremely disorganized. I did all my learning from watching youtube videos on the material and reading countless books. If you're serious about engineering, avoid this guy.

Dr. B is an awesome professor! He's hilarious and makes the lectures very entertaining. He jokes around and messes with people in a fun way but Its pretty clear that he loves materials and engineering and wants his students to as well. If you want a class you'll never forget take a class with Dr. B!

Comment:
This class was so frustrating! He may know his subject, but he puts zero effort into teaching it. Slides are a mess. When asked to help explain part of a homework problem his response was to just google the solution! Lazy grader so you will pass, but whatever you learn will be through your own study of outside material because he can't teach.

Comment:
He seems to put in zero effort. The slides repeat themselves and look like he did a google search and copied and pasted other people's presentations together. On the tests, be prepared for uncovered calculations and materials that he magically expects you to know. Home work is useless. For those who want to actually learn, don't take him.

Dr. B is hilarious. While his lectures are mostly crude jokes, he makes the mat'l pretty enjoyable. Don't need to be good at chem to get a good grade in class. Take notes and review all of it. Sometimes he includes terms things to memorize and will include them in the test. Lenient grader on HW. Practice for tests by doing problems from bookppt

Comment:
Dr. B is a funny guy I'll give him that but he's probably the worst professor I've ever taken. His class lectures are pointless, doesn't reflect the test. He slides are old and it seems like was too lazy to update them. I worked hard and just passed with a C. My friends have taken other professors and learned a lot from more the course.

Comment:
Test are hard but he curves. His final is very similar to the exams. I did really bad on the exams but did well on the final and did well in his class. I think the one reviews who said he did not do anything and still pass might be telling the truth. To be safe show up, do the homework and the project and try. You will pass if you do.

Comment:
He is the comedian of the MSE department. Likes to fool his students and talk about his life all the while to have a good laugh. There is basically zero note taking in class; what you wrote down won't make sense later. Showing up is optional. Read textbook, do examples. Tests come with equation sheet and mostly are textbook based.

Dr. B is the best. He is very knowledgeable professor. This guy makes you think with questions that he asks. He heats cheating and be careful not to cheat in his class. One most important thing about him to know is that he is a very caring about all his students. I enjoyed and learned a lot from his lectures. His words all have scientific value.

I didn't do anything in his class. All I did was take the tests, I didn't do any homework, didn't study for anything, didn't even do the term paper and he ended up giving me a C. He even said if we don't turn in a term paper we will fail the class. I didn't do the term paper and he still ended up giving me a C. So he's an easy grader.

One of the most difficult teacher I have ever had, but yet you learn a ton. If you want to be a good engineer take his courses, they will kick your butt, but you will be immensely prepared once you graduate.

He is a funny professor who cusses all the time. He will say the F word in almost every lecture class. He's a cool fun teacher but he's not very good at teaching this class. It's hard to understand the stuff and his teaching doesn't make it easier. It's hard to follow his lectures. He's a cool guy but he just can't teach this class.

He is a funny guy who cusses all the time. He cussed on the first day of class, the very first thing he said. And then he says the F word all the time in every lecture class that we meet, that's a guarantee. But his teaching isn't very good. So yeah he's a cool teacher who cusses very frequently but isn't very good at teaching this class.
