Comment:
I generally liked his class. It was interesting and well taught. The exams were probably the hardest I've ever taken though. Basically just study the homeworks because the discussion problems are basically just so you can learn how to do the homeworks. Studying is ridiculously tedious but it's the only thing you can do.

Although theres a crap ton of homework, he makes clear what homework problems will be on the tests by repeatedly making you do similar problems. So do homework, and you wont have to study much.

He is well prepared for lectures. Seems to be set in his ways. Lectures are clear and easy to understand. Homework will take sometime so don't put it off and test are INTENSE!

Comment:
This class requires a lot of outside time to understand the material. His lectures are boring and the homework assigned is 10 problems a week and it takes several hours to complete. Understanding the homework is crucial or you wont do well in the class. Tests are hard with only 4 problems but only 50 minutes to do them. Textbook is needed for tests

Pay attention in class and hope you have a good TA for discussion. His tests are some of the hardest I've taken and he doesn't curve. Homeworks are long and hard BUT BE CAREFUL USING CHEGG. He will pick problems that are done wrong on chegg on purpose in hopes of catching cheaters and he will fail you. He will take no mercy on you.

Comment:
Dr. Ghajar knows some serious thermo. Lectures are alright, but you won't learn the material until you do the homework. Homework is 10 problems a week and can take 30 minutes per problem. Midterms aren't too bad, but the final was ridiculous. Good professor, and expects a lot from his students. Not an easy class, but solid nonetheless.

He is a great teacher. Tests are pretty dry. Difficult but straight forward. He tries to be funny and is really easy to talk to.

Comment:
Took him for fluids, he's a good professor, doesn't really trick you too much on the tests. I barely went to class, no quizzes or anything, and got a B. Definitely go to discussion, and study old tests and D2L material. For Madihally, go to class, his example problems are usually on the test. TA's are nice, but hours aren't that good. HW saves you!

Dr. Ghajar is a very good teacher. I really liked how he did his notes. But the class was not all that easy. Heavy homework load and challenging tests. I still however enjoyed this class. Just put in the effort.

Comment:
AJ is way better in terms of personality, but Ghajar explains the theory better. BUT. Regardless, I hate having notes typed out and examples already done like the way he does. His exams are not easy compared to AJs.

Comment:
Nowhere near as entertaining as AJ. He seems bad at first, but the material is just different than the first half of class. He explains the theory better than AJ, but doesn't put up old tests like AJ. If you take the time to understand how to do the homework, tests aren't bad. The final was surprisingly easy. Make sure to make good equation sheets.

Took over the second half of themo this year and was pretty good. His accent isn't bad at all. Tests are tough as expected in thermo, but questions are fair. All in all a good professor.

Rated hot just because frankly, he does sport some nice class, and a sweet ride. But anyway, good guy, just gotta learn how to talk to him. Be humble and you will do fine. Good guy to get to know.

He's a jackass, it doesn't matter if you pay attention or not in the class, hes hard to understand. He does know his stuff, but he can't explain it, an expects you to still be able to explain it to him.
