Comment:
Prof. Brown is by far the worst instructor I had at WPI in my undergraduate and graduate years. He graded my English much tougher than what I actually learned which was weird. I did learn a bit of useful information, but I wouldn't recommend him if you want to get the most out of a class while enjoying it. No enjoyment here at all, only pain.

Comment:
Don't do an MQP with Brown unless you are in one of his projects already or already have a design you like. He's nice enough but constantly changes his mind, adds on to what you're doing, and doesn't have any helpful input. He doesn't like reading papers also and will nitpick tiny issues instead of helping with large problems.

Incomprehensible professor. Digresses all the time, makes very little sense in general. Would not take this class again and do not recommend it.

Comment:
While the professor is very knowledgeable about machining and metrology, his lectures are BORING and mostly based off the WORST formatted powerpoints I have ever seen. Brown needs to take a class on how to make a PPT. I was barely able to do the HW based off of them by asking students from previous years.

Comment:
Very clear and understandable when talking but teaches heavily off of his powerpoints which are incomprehensible. Gets off topic very easily and often. You will learn a lot of miscellaneous facts about surface metrology and manufacturing.

Comment:
He's nice enough, but that's about it. Lectures are not worth going to, and I always attend every lecture of every class. He gets off topic easily and I still don't know what we were supposed to get out of the class. I was told it would be an easy A, but I don't know anyone in my section got higher than a B. Quite disappointing overall.

Do not EVER do MQP with Prof. Brown. He didn't ever make up his mind on a design and always wanted something else added, or something tweaked. I basically finished my design the last week of class.

Great class, most interesting ME class you will take. Anyone interested in skiing, racing or just wants a good, relatively easy level ME class you won't fall asleep in take it. Brown is very helpful and easy to talk to.

This guy is awesome. Although lectures can occasionally get boring, he generally keeps everyone's attention. He knows what hes talking about and is friendly in and out of class.

Professor Brown is an excellent professor. He tends to get off topic and can be vague on what he wants for assignments, but is a fairly easy grader. He is inspirational.
