Comment:
Possibly the worst teacher I have ever had. Simply tells stories that don't relate to the material. This summer he left for two weeks (in an 8 week semester) and gave a test in the middle of that time. He didn't seem to care about anyone learning the material he just wanted us to know how much stuff he has done.

Comment:
He mostly just tells stories about things he's done, and he makes things into analogies about cars constantly. Terrible teacher, but the tests are open book, so it's possible to do just as well without even attending class.

Comment:
Shows little to no interest in student learning, and spends most of the class period talking about his time in Germany or California. Also, instead of using real examples, he just puts homework solutions up on board. My advice to you, read the book thoroughly, and tune him out. Easy A, but horrible lecturer

You think the class is easy, until he turns it over to his TA for a week who tells you one thing and then you take a test and Sheffield takes 10 poins off because what the TA told you was wrong and then you get a B instead of an A

Comment:
Lectures don't have any point-mostly full of "well this one time I was working here" stories. The book is worthless, as are his lectures. Tests are fairly easy, learn how to look up the data and you'll get a B

Comment:
He's a super-nice guy and very helpful, but I can tell that he gets frustrated at us sometimes because we don't know what all of these thermo devices do and how they work...If we already knew, we wouldn't need to take the class. He does know his stuff

He doesn't teach anything in ME 219, which makes ME 221 really hard
