Comment:
This class is ridiculously hard. With that in mind, he tries to make it understandable. The accent makes class worth going to.. he's a fun guy. The homeworks and tests are completely brutal, though...

Great professor. He really cares about his class, and works very hard at adjusting it according to student feedback. Ignore comments about previous years, because it's changed since them. It's not an easy class, but he's devoted to helping you understand the material.

Comment:
Class was kinda tough (higher level engineering math), but he did pretty well teaching it...uses a lot of his own problems for homework, does some things that aren't in the book. Great guy, makes jokes all class; he really gets into what he's teaching, which helps with learning (even if you don't really understand it)

My only advise is to do the example problems and tests. He takes the test questions directly from them.

Comment:
Lectures are BORING and so hard to follow. But it is just all math, so its hard to blame him for that. Book is very helpful. I pulled an allnighter the nite before second test, just reading the book and got almost 100% without ever paying attentionin clas

Comment:
It's really great when he makes a mistake on the board and corrects it 5 minutes later but doesn't propogate that correction through everything else but in general thermo is really really hard so it's tough to blame him

Avoid him if you can, but if you do take it from him, be sure to read the book, it is a good way to learn the material. Much better than lecture.

Lectures can be confusing because he doesnt explain his derivations very well. Youll need the book to explain some things. Tests are kinda tricky.
