Comment:
Worst professor I had during my years at Case. Unclear lectures, poor attitude, inane memorization of proofs required for quizzes. The only relevant part of the class was the homework, which was from the book but is never turned in/checked/reviewed. Lectures, quizzes, and tests all focused on the memorization of proofs and nothing more. AVOID!

His class is all about some stupid theorems. I got out of the class knowing the theorems but please don't ask me to do any statics.

Comment:
I had a very unfavourable class experience with him. He did not use the book at all other than for HW problems and did not explain any of the necessary math for the class whatsoever. He stuck strictly to explaining simple concepts and proofs in excruciating detail. I would not recommend taking this class with him unless you already know vector calc

Boring, but only because he's so thorough. He doesn't even attempt to get to strength of materials. But I have to admit that there is a method to his madness.

A great learning atmosphere. I could ask all questions I had and get really clarifying answers. What impressed me was the professor's ability -and patience- to answer a question from different points of view making sure the student clearly undersood what is going on.

The class is boring and simple, but he makes you go through stupid, pointless proofs for everything.

Terrible teacher, even worse person. Don't look at his teacher evaluations on the registrars site, he is known to forge them as I have experienced this (I know 10 of us who gave him the worst rating possible yet misteriously, he has 98% of the class saying he's excellent.)He gave a 2.5 hour midterm

Comment:
Teaches much less then the other statics teachers, mostly because he spends the entire course going over abstract proofs. Avoid if you actually want to learn how to do statics.

Comment:
He teaches too much stuff that is not in the book. He's a book hater, and disrespects the authors of the book like no other. My advice is that he stops staring at the girls in class and starts teaching applications to engineering instead of "theory&q

Comment:
hands-down worst professor ever. to give an idea, by the end of the course we had reached chapter 5 (about halfway through) the statics book, and any other prof. teaching 200 will finish the statics book and get well into the strength of materials book.

Comment:
Good theory as to why he teaches the way he does, but horrible job carrying it out. Way too theoretical (proofs, etc.) rather than mathematical (actually working with numbers). Intellectually arrogant.
