Comment:

Honestly he is one of the best professors ever. He goes off on tangents a lot, but he always brings it back to real life examples. The grade is dependent on only a few assignments but he goes over exactly what he wants in them. Over all he was great and I would highly recommend him.

Comment:

Pros: The homeworks are relatively easy and will prepare you for his exams. I only read the book if I got hung up on some of the homework problems. Otherwise the book was useless. Cons:His lectures seem disorganized and it's somewhat difficult to understand the point he is trying to make. Plus he exams are difficult to finish in the alotted time.

Comment:

He's entertaining in a goofy sort of way, but this doesn't make up for his lack of teaching ability. Lectures are disorganized, rambling, and incoherent; even his handwriting is illegible. Prepare to be frustrated.

Taught my first engineering class and I've got fond memories. The guy has a good personality, although I remember having to buy a $50 Pro-E book for class we never used

Comment:

now...the class was dumb, I don't think that this was his fault, it is how the 2 sections were organized. Unfortuantely, he DIDN'T teach. Students have to go to the TA help hours for every assignment, he only goes through the homework after we hand it in.
