Comment:

By far the worst professor I have ever had. Teaches the class in his own weird combination of math and matlab code. The entire grade is based on quizzes and tests, all of which are matlab programs with some lines deleted that you have to fill in verbatim. Only way to do well is if you are good at memorizing code, and you still wont learn anything.

Comment:

Grades on a 20 pt scale (80-100 A, 60-79 B, 40-59 C, 20-39 D) So that helps. Also homework is 30% of your overall grade. Find a solution manual and just copy it all. I got a B in Dynamics and didn't do crap! Test probs are from the book put them in your calculator! The comments are true too.

Comment:

He is not a very good prof. His teaching is all done symbolically, and rarely finishes a problem. That doesnt really matter anyways, i am usually sleeping 15 min into class anyways. His tests are difficult but he does grade on a 20 point scale. That means an 80% is an A

Worst professor I ever had. He speaks very poor english, and then works every example in MATLAB. I stopped going after midterm, taught myself using the book and got a better grade than most. The class's midterm average: 40% AVOID AT ALL COSTS
