Comment:

Good guy who means well but his lectures are boring & monotoned so its hard to pay attention. Lectures using PowerPoints which for this class isnt ideal. I dont think he does enough examples & when he does I think theyre rushed & incomplete. Id take him again if I had to but he wouldnt be my first choice. Weekly quizzes, 3 exams and a final.

Comment:

Rick Roberts is a great guy; but, that being said he WILL make you work for your grade. He does not believe in giving out A's and truly wants you to be independent and understand what your're doing. He will make fun of you if you ask dumb questions so get used to that.

Comment:

Boring and dry class, but that's just because it's statics. Very fair grader, however his "pop quizzes" that are every Wednesday are usually tough because you have no idea what they could be on. Very nice guy and is very fair when you talk to him. Just a boring class in general.

Comment:

Best teacher at Wentworth, in my opinion. Easy to learn from, but makes you work for your grade. Never had a more helpful teacher if you approach him during office hours. I recommend taking him for statics, strengths, machine design I&II (even tho i didnt get to take II)

Horrible. Absolutely no guidance for a freshman class that should have been a junior or senior level class. Indifferent, uncaring, NOT helpful.

Great teacher. One of the best at Wentworth. Sometimes is a little difficult to understand, but I believe that is just the material. Makes sure you understand the class, and will always make sure you pass as long as you put in some effort

Nice guy. Expects a lot of work. Doesn't always tell you exactly what he wants. He's a nice guy, knows what he's teaching, but i'd try to avoid him.
