Comment:

- English isn't his first language - He is very strict, ridiculous policies. (plug in one wrong number on an exam problem, there goes a letter grade, as I did.) - most of his policies seem to be there to hurt your grade. - He doesn't know the subject - by far the worst professor I've had. Just very frustrating to try to pass his class.

Comment:

Test typically include 2 problems and an "essay" section. Ume's first language is not English and his comprehension of student's essay answers is low. Asks very vague questions but will only accept a few possible answers. You are wrong, even if you put down the correct answer. Problems are easy, but you'll lose most of your points on the essay.

Comment:

Unwilling to work with students. Would go to him or email him for more help and he would reply with rude emails saying he was too busy. The Mechatronics class requires a lab. During class if you ask a friend a question he will get onto you for talking and if one person doesn't understand will go back over the material but nonetheless he is unclear.

Comment:

He is a very easy professor. The class for Mechatronics was very difficult to not get an "A" in it. However,that does not mean it is a useful class or that you'd learn very much from the experience. It was a very generalized course with a general brush-through of different mechatronic topics. Could learn basically whole course from Wikipedia.

Comment:

This guy is a first rate SOB. I am surprised I am the first one rating him! I got out of Tech couple of years ago but I just found this site. Do NOT take him. This guy has tenure and as such is untouchable. He is deliberately unhelpful and a bad teaher.
