Comment:

People say they don't like the lecture style. This is one of the best lecture courses I've had at RPI. Professor Maniatty always comes to class prepared and makes the most of lecture time. She has handwritten lecture notes that she posts after and goes through completely in class. She accurately explains theory and presents releva example problems.

Comment:

The exams are very similar to the practice exams she posts online. Homeworks are graded based off the fact that you did it. So as long as you have an answer you can get a 10/10 all all homeworks. Memorize the practice exam and go through the homeworks and this class is easy.

Comment:

I took EMD as a senior. It seems that everyone who did poorly was incapable of working hard-doing HW. Class instruction was dull, clear (at least to me), and very relevent to the tests. Test ?'s were very similar to HW and class examples. I never did her worksheets, but you will fail if you don't understand the HW. Was very helpful in office hours.

Comment:

The class was sooo terrible! She has no empathy towards students or understanding of student's learning styles, so she ends up being a terrible teacher.

Comment:

Be prepared 90% of the homework you will have to teach yourself as she teaches it the day it is due or after. Her tests are absolutely horrible, bordering on sadistic. There is also only 1 crib sheet for every test (including the final). Learn to love the book as you will write in it a lot in order to put everything relevant to the test somewhere.

Comment:

Prof. Maniatty is very passionate about the subject. Explained the topics well, but there were still a few instances of not fully understanding a topic before doing the homework. Tests are similar to the practice exams but for some reason seemed to get more complicated than the practice exam in a sadistic sort of way. The worksheets have no value

Comment:

Previous ratings on this professor are far too critical. Professor Maniatty is quite good at teaching this course. Her notes are very clear and she posts all of them online. Go to class and pay attention, this class will not be very difficult. Plus, all of her tests are alike. Best of all, you will really learn the material from this professor.

Comment:

Classes are long, and she sometimes starts writing stuff where you don't know where it came from. However, her tests are extremely easy because she never changes problems from previous years. All homework and worksheet solutions can be found from previous years, and all of the problems are identical.

Comment:

This professor is absolutely brutal. She made me want to get out of Mechanical Engineering. I pray to God that the rest of my ME courses/profs at RPI are not as horrific as her. Please find employment elsewhere, lady.

Comment:

Don't bother asking for help.. ever. Consider yourself alone in this course, basically you are going to teach yourself in this class. Asking her for help is like asking the devil for candy... not going to happen. Just give up the teaching thing and be that great engineer that hides from the world in pile of paperwork.

Comment:

Her class is incredibly boring. Lots of notes to copy, some of which she seems to make up on the fly and is incorrect. Very poor social skills; often she will pause and just stare at the students for a while. Clears her throat in possibly the most annoyiing way possible. Vicious grader - only scale is that she will make the highest grade a 100.

Comment:

Maniatty shouldn't be a professor... she doesn't have what it takes to teach college students... she needs to just be a mechanical engineer and that's it. I go to her office hours, I work hard, and she did nothing for me. Plus that she's extremely cold and unfriendly.

Comment:

Her lectures are awful and boring. She has given out incorrect info. Everygroup did somethign wrong and all did it the same way... We want to put her as a source of error on our reports. She says there's no curve and the TA this semester is brutal at grading lab reports (worth 50% of grade).
