Comment:
Really....Is that how one is supposed to grade? Repeat the darn thing hundred times to make sure you don't lose points. It's such a baby-sitting kind of class with an absurd grading. Sometimes even he cant justify why he took off points. I spent my entire time understanding what writing style will get me more points;it's more imp than the content!!

Comment:
Great Teacher. Any complaints about him are most likely from lazy, unprofessional students. He is very professional and expects to be approached in the same way. He was always very helpful when I approached him after class hours. I enjoyed his lectures as well. [PS. MAE 277 is a worthless class no matter who teaches it, don't blame it on Lewis]

Comment:
Arrogant teacher. Subjective bogus grading. Impossible to figure out how he grades and he likes it that way. I honestly feel like I learn nothing but common sense in his class. He needs to be a little more reasonable with grading/workload if hes gonna teach common sense.

Comment:
Professor is clear / professional / interesting but class covers little to no useful material... he manufactures reasons to attend lecture (random in class assignments, random attendance, notes with blanks) Useful course material could be fit in 4 weeks. Grading often seems very subjective, even arbitrary and no curve.

Best engineering professor i've had.he takes a real interest in what he does and succeeds in making this class fun and interesting.caution though,the point of this class is to teach you to be professionals,and he grades as if you are professionals, Hard.Putting in effort will get you far in this class.

4-5 homework assignments, some with partners. These will take awhile if you want a good grade - and you do, because there's no curve. Three exams. Easy A- on exams if you spend 1-2 hrs studying. Take advantage of office hours. Dr. Lewis is not rude, but is professional, so try to be the same in return.

Comment:
easiest class for engineering. if you go to class you will get an A. there are like 3 homeworks that take like 20 minutes, and one final project that is long but it's a group project. go to lectures because he takes attendance on fridays when there is a guest speaker. kind of intimidating one on one, but very funny in class.

Comment:
Arrogant, with little time to help students. When approached, he makes student feel as if they are disturbing him, or taking away from more important business. Utilizes school resources and time for personal projects, attempts to catch students on minor details with out clarifing points. makes mistakes frequently in class. overly defensive

do not ever go to this man for help. he is very rude and short with his answers. he may be animated but it is wasted in a useless class. i felt like i knew less after taking his class and i would try to avoid taking it if possible.

Not impressed with his 1 on 1 attitude. He has an ego. He also messes up his own procedures. "People are going rushing on these problems and making mistakes - you need to take your time and think" . . . "you dont have time to think on your exams"

pretty easy class if you just try a little bit. he's a really nice guy and makes lecture interesting and fun. you do learn stuff and yet its really an easy A. the project is quite long and requires work, but is kinda cool. his class was the only one this semester i didn't want to shoot myself over! and he was my favorite teacher too!

Kemper is one of the best teachers in engineering. Very likable and clear on assignments and what he wants to see. If you don't like the guy or class, you have problems

Kemper is indeed the MAN. it is an easy A if you do all your work. easy to fall behind on stuff since the material isnt challenging. he is a nitpicker tho, so put forth effort. he takes off point for everything. also, type your homework, it makes all the difference

Kemper is the man. 277 is very easy and the reverse engineering project is also alot of fun. He is very accomodating and a monkey can pass his tests. If you are an ME you have no choice but to take this class. Be glad he makes it a cakewalk.
