Comment:

You'll need to really read the textbook to do well in her class. Slides are really jumbled up, and she'll go back and forth. Her slides are just pics and there really aren't any words or notes to copy down. She doesn't write anything down on the board, or on her slides. Useless in retaining information. READ THE TEXTBOOK!!! otherwise easy exams.

Comment:

I enjoyed this class. She can be really cruel at times and really enjoys picking on the class, but she's a great prof and the course material was actually pretty interesting I thought. There is a significant amount of work to do, but its not overly difficult, and labs about breaking stuff are fun.

Comment:

Knows her stuff, teaches clearly. And she is acually there when u need her, unlike some other ME Profs. She is willing to help. Classes are not as boring, but not an easy prof at all.

Good prof that knows her stuff. Notes are all powerpoint, but she does a pretty good job explaining them. Nothing hotter than Hansson's materials related sexual innuendos

Comment:

usses power point for all lectures... can become monotonous. Follows book very closely, you can do well just reading the book and underlining stuff in the book during class since all her notes are practically directly from book.

Notes are all in powerpoint. Seems to know her stuff. Some text book reading is very neccessary to keep up with the course. Can be quite strict when it comes to exam marking.
