Comment:

Knew his stuff and went out of his way to make sure we knew the material. Accent's not a problem, random tangents on his favorite movies & books made an awful class somewhat bearable-we once watched his 10 favorite movie moments at the end of class. He would solve the in-class problems himself rather than use the solutions manual

Comment:

IEA is a terrible class. That said, it's required for all engineers. Dobry was a great guy and a pretty good teacher. Never went to his office hours (IEA is REALLY EASY) but his explanations in class were clear. Big fan of movies, one class we even watched his top 10 movie quotes of all time.

Comment:

might be hard to understand at first but you do get used to it. and he does like to say "substraction" instead of "subtraction". he randomly talks about movies which is a nice tiny break from the class material. but he teaches well and is really nice.

Comment:

Great teacher! The subject sucks, but he keeps everybody awake with jokes, and a funny accent. You'll get used to hearing "soob-straction" instead of subtraction. Once we took a break from work, and watched a quick movie.

Good teacher, probably my best in my first semester at RPI. Tries his best to help you out, it's just really up to you as to whether you want to take advantage of this or not.

He is the human form of Strongbad. Really funny, not my favorite class for sure but he made it bearable. It sucked when he left the TAs to teaching though...

Takes the awfulness out of IEA by slipping up on english phrases. My favorite..."It is time to get you hands wet and your feet dirty"

doesn't speak english well but you get used to the way he speaks. Its hard to get an A in this class unless you put a lot of time into it. Sometimes he is funny.
