TIM IS THE BEST! He is a very caring teacher and loves his students. he really wants you to succeed and do your best. DO NOT PROCRASTINATE in this class! if you do you will not pass! he gives all the projects overviews at the beginning of each new unit so start right away. 100% recommend him to anyone for 2D or 3D. ask specific questions!

Comment:

Tim is a fantastic person, he is easygoing with attendance as long as you get the work done. He is sweet and funny, and obviously cares for his students. He is a little confusing. If you want a question answered, ask a very specific yes or no question, he has a habit of rambling. He is a bit of a tough grader, but putting in the time pays off.

Comment:

Tim was hands down my favorite professor this year. He's hilarious and obviously loves his job. He leaves the projects up to your interpretation which can get tricky, but he's always willing to help if you work for it and he challenges you to think outside the box. Sad I only got to have one class with him.

Comment:

Tim is a very nice guy. But his class has very poor structure and assignments are badly described and confusing. Grading criteria is also unclear, gives good feedback but the grades he gave would not reflect that. He thinks that the best project in the class deserves an A and then curves based on that. Overall I would not recommend his course.

Comment:

Great guy and teacher. Very personable and answers all questions. Does a great job explaining what specific details he would like completed in a project, but you have so much creative freedom as well. He gives you a ton of in-class work time and does a great job teaching you techniques and theories that benefit you in more than just his class.

Comment:

Tim is awesome. The class required a lot of work but he didn't require you to stay in the room for the 3 hour period. As long as you got your stuff done by the due date then he was cool with you not always being in class. He is absolutely hilarious. Really really cool guy. Not as tough of a grader as everyone makes it sound, but you do have to work

Comment:

Tim is an awesome human being. He's hilarious and very friendly. While he does make class fun, he is a very abstract character. He strongly believes that only the best project deserves a solid A. His projects don't typically have structure, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. He doesn't really even teach you much. Great guy, not great teacher.

Hates symmetry. Class gets easier when you realize what he likes, just build your assignments to that. He's a cool guy, but project criteria and requirements changed every time someone asked him. Frustrating. Only a few projects, get ready for out of class time. Bomb one and you're toast.

Tim is a really cool guy! Funny and nice and he actually knows what he's teaching. At first I didn't like his class because he seem a bit scattered but after a few weeks I realized that he's a really good professor! He's more like a buddy! Sadly, I don't have him this semester and I really regret that. That's how awesome he is!

I had Tim for half a semester because my actual professor was on maternity leave. He's really laid back and easy to talk to about assignments. He really encourages creativity. One of my favorite professors on campus.

I didn't really enjoy his class. He didn't teach much and I thought his teaching was useless because I could've learned it in a text book.

Probably one of the nicest professors I've had at Stout. Really wants you to learn all you can and try new things. Can be a hard grader but I feel he trys to fair. Would def take him again.

Great teacher. Sometimes a little unclear and you have to put up with his silly nicknames, but he makes you want to come to class to learn, and he teaches you plenty. Genuinely a nice guy.
