Comment:

Bill has to be one of the best professors I have had at Pratt. I have learned so much from him that I am really going to miss not having him. He relates everything to real life through showing his projects. Our section actually understands the concepts rather than just memorizing for the tests. He is sure to review everything you need to know.

Comment:

Very un-relatable. Extremely harsh grader. Has no respect for any of his students. He does like talking about himself a lot though.

Comment:

Read the textbook. His classes are a bit boring because they are a repetition of the readings assigned. He grades the drawing projects a bit harshly, so always go over it with him, to ask for some pointers.

Takes attendance in both lecture and section. Only reveals grade of first exam. Compared to other materials/assembly profs, he doesn't grade too strict.

Comment:

He made us kind of lost in MEP. He comes off very easy going, and appears to be like he will be laid back. But don't be fooled by his relaxed nature, he is an extremely hard grader. But his abundance of knowledge is good, but better for materials than MEP

Comment:

Rambles a lot, and doesn't really know what will be on the test, I think that's more of a dept. problem though, gets easily sidetracked into talking about his own projects

Comment:

He was ok. He didn't know what he was talking about for MEP because he hadn't taught it in a while. He gives examples though of what he does know. You would have to find most of the info on your own in the text.
