Comment:

The worst teacher. Attend class, sit down, log into blackboard, and do the work on your own. No lectures. If you need help, go ahead and raise your hand, but unless your a middle aged-good looking women, you can forget about him ever coming to your desk. Might as well had taken it online. Easy A, bc you can keep turning it in until you get an A.

Comment:

He was pretty rude to me, but seems like a nice guy for the most part. Also, his powerpoints are useless so most of my time was spent googling how to do the work. But overall, very easy class and if you need the credit, take this.

EASY A! DON'T BUY THE BOOKS. If you actually want to learn something, don't take him. If you want an A on your transcript, definitely take him and buy autocad for dummies. Seriously the easiest class I've ever taken. T/F tests with unlimited attempts and easy weekly projects.

Comment:

Technical Drafting. He talks VERY QUIETLY, so sit as close to him as possible. You really need to have cad experience prior to this course (beginner cad). He is willing to help if you put in the effort. Yes it's boring, but you will be thankful when you use anything he teaches you in the real world. Nice guy all in all. He does get off topic talkin

Comment:

This guy is not good at all. He just makes the drawing himself and has you copy & paste from file to file. I agree he is an EASY A... but if you really want to learn AutoCad this is not your guy

Comment:

I'M DROPPING HIS CLASS TOMORROW!He goes in & out of talking & teaching, so you're never really sure when you need to pay attention!He merely shows you what he knows, which is not very much as he fumbles around the computer when he stops to "help" you.Don't take him if you NEED to learn AUTOCAD. It's just a hobby for him, not his major!

Comment:

Also known as DFTG1305. Take another drafting course instead of this one. You will learn a lot more from other professors. It is hard to follow exactly which assignments he wants you to do and he thinks his ways are the best ways of doing things which simply is not true.

Proffessor is extemely likable and very helpful. I agree that the class drug on at times and you dont use the book, so dont bother buying it. I did learned the basics of AutoCad and that was what the class was for. Good Experience!!

Comment:

This class was easy but I didn't learn much. When I went to intermediate I was behind everyone else. I wasted my money on the course and the book because we didn't use it much. If I am taking off of work to go to school, I would like the professor to make it worth my time. He didn't.

Comment:

If you're just looking for an easy A then this is a perfect class for you. As long as you come to class and complete the few projects you will make an A. If you really want to become an AutoCad expert then you might not learn that much. He is a little unclear on the projects, but overall easy.

Comment:

This guy wasted my time. If you have'nt taken Beginning Computer Aided Drafting, take technical draftin instead. The semester dragged on and I wasted $100 on a used book that we used MAYBE six times and couldnt be resold because theyre going to a new book
