Comment:

Try to record his "lectures." You'll get good grades, but it's likely you'll feel like you don't know what you're doing. I didn't learn as much as I could have. The structure of the class is weird. There is a much more efficient way to learn the material.

Good luck! One of the worst professors ever. He is nice. But who cares. He is not helpful and not willing to compromise. Unfair teacher overall

Comment:

221 is easy.. go to class and do the practice quizzes and you'll be fine. 222 is tough if you've never used Revit before. He moves kind of quickly and expects you to catch on right away. Ask questions at the beginning of class because he's rarely there the whole time. Try to pick a simple building to make your life easier.

Say okay to that guy. PB is the coolest teacher I've had by far (Dirk is second!) If you go to class and remain concious, you will pass with flying colors. Miss having him as a prof.

Awesome Professor. He's the kind that cares more about you understanding the material rather than grades. He sure have ways of making lectures interesting. AE 221 off hard but gets really easy, while AE 222 is the other way around. The building projects and job site trips are awesome. It helps to know AUto CAD well before taking AE 222.

Comment:

By golly, what can I say? PB is definately the man, so see if you can't take this class with him. He is helpful but the TA's are worthless so your often stuck doing projects with very little knowledge of how to do use the CAD programs.

Very good course for acquainting you with the wonderful world of AE. Bottom line, assemble a group of students you trust to work on projects with and complete them on time and you will do well. Bowers is perfect for this course because he really is the man.
