Comment:

He is a great professor willing to teach in an in depth level who not only just knows the subject but also cares about the students that come to his class. Attend lectures as they are not only helpful for the test but for overall knowledge. In terms of difficulty, I would say put in the daily review (15-45 mins) and you should all set! Good luck!

Comment:

The AS356 Systems and Components class is an inherently dry class with a lot of lecture material, so I wouldn't recommend taking it early in the morning or after a long day. Mr. Bill is an incredible professor who gives great advice and feedback, and he is extremely friendly and respected. He gives great test reviews before the three exams.

Comment:

Mr Bill is a must take professor for AS311. He is extremely knowledgable of the material and has powerpoints that specifically highlight the important concepts he would like you to know. His test preparation classes are something you don't want to skip as he will ensure you are prepared for the test the next class. Textbook is optional but helps.

He is the best. Print out his lecture slides, he highlights all of the test questions red in each PowerPoint. Tell you during the review exactly whats going to be on the test. 3 very simple exams. No book needed just review the slides!

Mr. Bill is a wonderful professor! Having only private pilot knowledge, I did have to study more, but Mr. Bill was able to help with anything I didn't understand during office hours. Also, as one of the only females in class, I never felt like I was treated any different than the other students. Don't skip class or test reviews, they're important!

Mr. Bill is truly there for his students. If you dont understand something, raise your hand in class, go to his office hours, or email him. Hes always willing to help as long as you show youre trying. Do study though because you only have three exams that reflect your grade.

Comment:

Mr. Bill is the best systems professor out there, so please save yourself some time and take him. Some aircraft systems are fairly complicated to understand. Mr. Bill teaches very slow and deliberate (perfect approach for this class). Best yet, Mr. Bill highlights exact exam answers during lectures (he also tells you verbally). Better show up!

that's one of the amazing class in COA. Professor Bill teaches the class properly, with his passion and the excellent presentation. Also, the RR lab makes the class make more sense, simply because there are many jet engine in the classroom. 3 exams, no final, many quizzes but easy. spend some time on study then get a easy A know about the engine

Mr. Bill knows what he is talking about when it comes to systems. However, he can be very powerpoint heavy. He likes to dumb stuff down to make you feel like you are in elementary school again. His tests can be very tough especially if you don't really study hard for a couple days before hand.

Mr. Bill is THE Professor to take for AS356; I really enjoyed him!!! He explains Systems really well honestly! 3 Tests, 27% each, and 17? *POP* Quizzes, 19% percent total. Make sure to come to class, or you may miss a quiz, aka get a 0. If you show up for a quiz, its lowest grade feasible is literally (100 - # of ?'s on it). Take Mr. Bill for 356!!

I'm so impressed by taking this class with Mr. Bill. I highly recommend to take his class. Do you want to get an A in his class? then you should focus on his lecture, don't miss random pop quizzes, and show up the class on time.

Mr. Bill is awesome! Took him for both Turbines and systems over the summer. The classes overlap in terms of material a lot. Mr. Bill explains everything really well and always points out potential test questions from slides. Attend his exam reviews, they really help you get an idea of what to expect on the tests.

Loved going to his class. Pay attention in class and take every quiz because those are EASY A. He makes hard subject like systems so easy, and if you have any questions then ASK. He points out what you should study for tests. There are only 3 test so make sure you do well on them.

"Mr. Bill" was a very laid back professor that I would recommend. Going into this class, I hear it was an easy A, but you still have to do some work and studying to get a good grade. You have 3 test and random pop quizzes. If you show up to class and take the quiz you will get an A every time (trust me). Go to class, and study, and you'll get an A.

Great professor. Taught the material in an understandable format. Powerpoints available when needed. Always answers questions via in person or email (very quick via email). If you have difficulty understanding something in the class, ASK QUESTIONS! Read the material and prepare for quizzes at the start of class.
