Comment:

Has to be the best civil engineering professor at Lehigh. Classes are interesting, talks about the concept for a little and then does some good examples. Keeps class interesting. Usually a couple homework assignments a week, they are not difficult as long as you took notes in class. Wish he taught more undergrad classes.

Unusual course. Not too many professors can teach forensic engineering! Professor Pessiki knows the material, the engineering, and the tools.

Comment:

He is great! Had him for concrete design, and it was one of my favorite classes. It's not very hard and I enjoyed going to class, except the 7:55 am part. I would recommend taking both steel and concrete design at Lehigh, even though you only have to take one.

Comment:

Dr. P is the man. His class is funny (when he speaks loud enough to be heard), he is extremely nice to his students and cares about wether or not they are learning/enjoying themselves. His true/false exam was a pain though (35 questions on one page, single spaced!). The lab is really cool, a cement plant tour and making a concrete cylinder.

Dr. P is truly the best professor i've ever had at lehigh. hands down. He's a cool guy too and makes a lot of jokes in his class. Whatever you do, tho, DO NOT skip the ce 264 class lab. If you do you will be royally screwed.

Dr. P is hands down the best professor in the CE department. His jokes will make you laugh, the labs are cool, and he does some great tours. If you put in the time you will do well and learn a ton. It's just ashame that he isnt teching 365 next semester.

Dr. P is great. His tests can be a little hard but if you prepare well enough it's a breeze. His lectures are almost always sure to have funny stories. He also presents the material very clearly and so it's understandable.
