Seems like he cares about the course even less than students. HWs are lengthy but tests are exactly like the practice exams provided.

It's all stuff you know until the end. I stopped going to class. All homeworks are the same as prev. semesters, tests are 30 minutes or less. Very good professor, but also very easy.

Comment:
I still remember his jokes like- "You must be knowing PID controllers since your Kindergartens." And I still wonder why only 2-3 people understood and laughed at his humor. He is very student friendly and helps one a lot. His textbook is a bit unclear but then his classes are a better answer to that.

Classes are a little dull but has his own text that can be helpful. Class covers many of the basics and is mostly a review of other aero classes. Exams are very much like past exams.

He's soft spoken and a little dull at time, but if you listen up and pay attention, you'll learn the material and get some good laughs from the subtle humor he throws in at times.

Comment:
He has a really unique theory that all you need to understand the material is a few basic concepts. It works, and I felt like I learned a lot off of just a few simple equations. His lectures were pretty dull at times, but overall not a half bad prof. Exams are very easy if you study HW problems.

Comment:
I took AAE 421, 564, and 666 with this prof. His theory is you only need to remember the basics to truly understand material, so his class was somewhat easy, but you will still walk away with a good understanding of the material.

Pretty good lecture notes that he gives to you. You don't "need" the book but he always suggest helpful ones.

Good use of examples to illustrate points, however you do have to take good notes and not simply rely on the provided course book (PDF)

Comment:
Generally one of the better professors in the department. He is a soft speaker, but his dry wit is fairly entertaining. Most importantly, he does care about how well you understand material if you show that YOU do too.

Dull lectures with occasional subtle humor thrown in. The material is not hard but I always found myself having trouble finishing the homeworks just because they had little glitches I couldn't fix. Endlessly frustrating.
