Comment:
Would like to say that this guy is "hard but fair" but he isn't. Your lab reports have to contain exactly what HE wants, don't bother trying to actually think about outside circumstances, he will tell you wind resistance doesn't effect a falling rock. Want an A? Take the class twice and memorize what he says 2 days AFTER things are due.

Comment:
Worse professor and person I have ever met. Thinks he is better than everyone around him. Wish I could like him enough to show him my paycheck now, which is 3 times bigger than his. Terrible, terrible. Change schools if you have to, but dont take his class.

Comment:
This professor is very hard in terms of explaining certain things and I wish he would do more to help the students learn the causes of such events during the experiment. But he definitely knows his stuff and is extremely determined to turn you into a good engineer. Focus on EVERYTHING he teaches. Getting an A... was very surprising..

Great Professor!! Makes you think and will turn you into an ngineer whther you like it or not. You have to show up for all his classes and put an effort in. Buut in doing so he will shape you into an independent thinker and someone who can approach any problem.

He knows his stuff but ask a question and receive 10 more questions. Loves to pile it on and on and on. Expect many late nights and don't forget those resentations. Note to the wise the syllabus changes by the day (and you better know what is going on). Unannounced quizzes basically if you like being treated like a beat up dog this is your guy.

The hardest professor in ME work load wise and grading wise. Very knowledgeable but he teaches and grades on a graduate school level even for undergrads. Very Very difficult professor.

If guzzling down Kit Kats were factored into this rating he would get all 5's. To bad he doesn't give students a "break" in the grading.
