Comment:
Tough but very giving grader.. until the final exam. Expect a hard final but he makes use of a lot of the same examples gone over in class or from previous years. He realllly knows his stuff so don't be afraid to ask for help (he writes all the notes off the top of his head). Lots of practice in the textbook. Good knowledge of Solids 1 would help

Great Prof. Really showed care for the students. No surprises on tests the weekly in class assignments/quiz help prepare for everything. Didn't like him much in my first course with him but would 100% take another course with him now.

I'm OK with the Swam-bom. Not the most exciting or enthusiastic but he gets the job done. Testing is very straightforward

Unclear, incompetent, and gives no confidence as a teacher. Worst prof I have ever had. If you don't do it exactly like he shows you then he will penalize you. Independent thought is discouraged.

Absolutely useless. When asked a question in class, takes at least 20 minutes to figure out even the simplest thing. Marks dropped about 20% after final even though everyone found it relatively easy.

He's not helpful, frequently gets things wrong, and grades tests with no basis for what the course is actually about.

useless. He can't get examples right in class but he deducts a lot of marks for simple errors on exams. don't be fooled by marks going into the final. Everybody's course mark drops a minimum of 10% after his final exam. Final was too long.

BOOOORING. Spends two months on stuff everyone knows then vaults into loads of new materials. Tries to make finals as hard as possible whereas midterms are relatively easy. Be wary of him. Also has a tendency to misplace stuff.

Useless! If you can manage to read his notes they're worth while to have. He is not very helpful or reasonable. Don't get caught up with the really good marks you'll have going into finals. Expect your marks to drop alot in the final. He doesn't give many of the important and needed formulas.

First prof I had as a PhD student and thought at first it was a joke. When he did provide notes he gave us copies of handwritten notes. At one point there was a 15 min silence as he struggled to find he his place and figure out what he was teaching.
