Comment:

Mumbles into the chalkboard during every lecture, and is absolutely miserable to listen to at 8AM. Helpful if you go to office hours, but exam averages are still seriously low (30s-40s). Needs to reconsider course structure, and quite possibly career choice. This man was not meant to teach!

Comment:

Nice guy, grades are the most retarded of any professor I've ever seen. When a test average is a 30 there is an issue. HORRIBLE lecturer, every class at 8am almost impossible to stay awake.

Comment:

Very nice guy. Horrible... i mean horrible teacher... Honestly, some people were not meant to teach. They were meant to crunch numbers. Whoever before me said Rodney Dangerfield was very right. I give him no respect. Again, nice guy, helpful if you ask ?'s but HORRIBLE teacher! sorry Carlson, please please please quit your day job.

Comment:

Well...ME 442, a class that's supposed to teach you FEM, only the class uses a program the professor made that's buggy and a hassle to use over any other accepted software. With no resourses you will be left in the dark until you get Carlson to tell you what to do.

The average for his classes are very low, so if you do average you are fine, but not sure how much you are going to get out of the class if you gain any knowledge at all.

With an average exam at 37, and the A cut off at 28 you know this is gotta be funny. I got a B with an average on my exams of 21.
