Comment:
They say a professor can make or break a subject, and professor Bottega broke, stepped on and destroyed Dynamics. He didn't teach, he copied down his notes on the board and read them out loud. Overall he is a complicated, messy and difficult professor with handwriting that even Morse code professionals will have a hard time deciphering.

Comment:
Got above average in class and received a "failing" grade . He will cover 9+ boards of notes that are almost strictly equations and come time for the exam he will be mad that the class only knows how to plug and chug. Also takes off points for correct answers if you could have observed the answer but did work instead.

Comment:
Professor Bottega is a nice guy. He normally teaches graduate classes, so teaching Dynamics was a change of pace for him. He spends most of the class time going over proofs and a couple of examples, so you need to be prepared to learn some other things on your own. Easy exams/quizzes, but homework is extremely difficult and long. Ask questions!

If you are a super nerd you will enjoy his class, for an average student like me, I was lucky I got a B. His exams are difficult to do even with an open book, enough said

Comment:
Bottega is a good professor. The book he uses is the one he wrote, so he can always clarify on things. He's pretty easy to talk to, and pretty laid back. Quizzes and exams were tough for the most part, but fair. Whatever was on there, was what he said was going to be on there. No surprises. I'd take another of his classes if I could. Recommend.

Comment:
This is the second, and last, class I'll have with Bottega. He's my favorite engineering professor. He's very academically demanding and is not afraid to give anyone a low grade for a poor performance. Honestly, Vibrations was my hardest course this semester, but also my favorite. Ask him questions, answer his question, show up to class, and STUDY.

First, I loved Bill Bottega. I know a lot of people weren't huge fans of him, but I enjoyed his class for the most part and ended up with a great grade. Upsides: You almost always know what he expects of you, or it's not very hard to figure out. Downside: there a lot of derivations you waste time with, that may never be used. Great guy and prof!

Bottega is underrated. I was terrified of him, but he is so willing to help anyone that asks. He's very intelligent and expects a lot from students, so if you arent willing to do some work don't take him. I thought he was great

Condescending, pompous, and prone to mood swings. Tends to assume students are experts in things they learned years before and is only nice to students that have perfect grades and suck up.

Comment:
I passed vibrations w/him and hardly ever went. The kids that failed are the same kids that slipped through the cracks and don't deserve an engineering degree. Take him, he will either show you A) what you are capable of, or B) that you have no business being an engineer. Either way, you will learn some important things about yourself.

He is a def a smart guy, at times little bit of an ****. If your intelligent you ll do okay. No one ever goes to his office hours, so show up once or twice and you ll understand the stuff a lot better then the rest of the class. Oh and he is a tough grader.

Unless you are an A+ student, STAND CLEAR!!! He has no qualms of failing an Senior. Extremely Arrogant. He is very smart, but maybe too smart.
