By far the best teacher I have had during my university experience so far. Brad has taught me more than just what was needed for his class. He went above and beyond when it came to accurately explaining problems. If you follow in class and put some effort in, you will enjoy the class and do well.

Super helpful and really knows what he's talking about so can literally answer any question and help find where you may have gone wrong. So much support in this class, but you still have to put in a lot of time and effort if you want to pass.

Buckham is an absolute master of statics. Along with his knowledgable TA's you can pretty much ask anyone any question and they will answer it. Even had a TA email me a solution that they worked on for 2 days. Everyone wants you to succeed. If you put in %100 there is no way you won't walk out with at least a B.

Comment:

Great professor who is very passionate about what he teaches. Lectures are very rushed which makes concepts very difficult to grasp especially since the concepts are very difficult on their own. He is very helpful if you ask for help but unfortunately, the midterms and final are brutally hard. Do lots of practice problems to do well in the course!
