Comment:

This guy talks about stuff that interests HIM. We don't get anything from the lectures except from severe headache after listening to him talking for hours. Half of the class ends up facebooking, some will be sound asleep, some will start texting and a very very very small number of students is actually listening. Thou shall not take his class.

Comment:

This class is suppose to be an introduction but it is beyond an introduction to mineral processing. It was like being thrown into the deep end of a pool and realizing that you don't know how to swim; he just stands there watching you drown. When you meet him and see his bad side you'll totally know why this man should not teach 2nd years. =( RUN!

Comment:

Sudden outbursts of anger are common in the classroom of John Meech. John's teaching not only confuses the students but his own ideas as well. He also confuses what class he is even teaching.

Comment:

Professor is not concerned with learning or teaching applicable material. Instead he prefers to ramble on about what he personally finds interesting, and when questioned in any regard becomes defensive and relies on intimidation tactics to ensure students do not ask questions. DO NOT TAKE THIS COURSE, ENROLL IN MECHANICAL DEPARTMENT EQUIVALENT!!!!

Comment:

Clearly enjoys intimidating students and keeping them uniformed of personal progress. Shows no concern for student learning. Class is structured poorly and cannot be applied to future work. Notes are random and lacking examples of testable content.

His reviews have not changed for 7 years. He fails to accept change, and that his course and attitude need serious work. I would not recommend this class to anyone for any reason

Comment:

As long as you do the work and he knows that you're putting effort into the class, you'll do fine. If you're nice to him, he'll be nice to you. Also, dont complain to him about anything. It wont get you anywhere but on his bad side.

Notes are random and chaotic - sometimes he'll scribble on the board and sometime slap down a 12 page handout. Sometimes very curt with students, bordering on rude.

Comment:

Shows no solid connection between material & applications in industry. Labs were disorganized with no clear expectations from students. When two students ask the same question at seperate instances, his answer will vary. Will throw "hissy fits"
