Comment:

Best professor ever. Ignore the person below (4/6/10). They obviously don't know what they are talking about. While Irv does talk about baseball, politics, clocks etc. and he does come across as a senile frat-boy, he is still the most entertaining professor at Cooper. His wealth of knowledge and his ability to teach are some of his best qualities.

Comment:

This is by far the worst professor at cooper. All he does is talk about baseball, synchronizing clocks and more nonsense. All chemical engineers have him for thermo, advanced thermo, fluids and heat transfer. It is so sad that our core curriculum is taught by a senile ex-frat boy. But hey isn't this representative of our Cooper Union education?

Terrible Professor. One of the worst I have ever known. Speaks off topic (baseball, politics, etc.), exams are often off subject material. The Dean of Engineering should sit in his classes for a semester.

Took Brazinsky for thermo, adv. thermo, fluids, heat transfer. Horrible and learned nothing, but doesn't really matter since it's not like you have a choice of profs for these classes.

SO annoying! announces everything 5 times every class and writes it on the board. tests on unrelated material. teaches very slowly. talks a lot about cooper politics, artificial sweetener, baseball, how cooper students know nothing, having tenure, and his commute. you get so sick of his monologue

I don't like proffessor brazinsky, his exams are unreasonable and he wastes time complaining about how he doesn't have enough time to finish what he wants to cover. That and he gave me a D... the exam averages are never above 40 in any of his courses.

Often will re-write things on a board after switching boards. Too little time is devoted to practical application, especially in Fluid Dynamics. First semester thermo project is not adequately suited for first semester thermo because students have not y
