Tom is an amazing teacher and as long as you spend time to actually study you'll do great. If you choose to not study or actually try then things wont go your way.

This man has a gift for making any concept super simple. Has lots of experience to back up his knowledge, and he always seems to be really excited about teaching his quick and hilarious lectures. Got out of class 20 minutes early at least 70% of days. Has a great sense of humor, though he will offend those who don't know how to take a joke. RTFQ

hmm Zeidlik where do I start.. He knows his stuff. However he can be pretty rude about it. However, for 323 he's the best person to take it from. He is way too qualified to teach it. He also has a crazy amount of hobbies which I think is pretty funny. Talk to him, he truly is the most interesting man in the world...

I feel like they're still trying to figure out how to teach this class after Doc Jensen left. Still having trouble writing good tests and stuff. But, knowing zeidlik, he has began to make the tests easy and straight forward. Should be better for people taking it in Spring.

Zeidlik has tons of experience and stories from working in the industry. He provides you with all the power point slides, making it easy to take good notes. The tests are fairly easy and similar to the study guides that he gives you. Pay attention and stay ahead of the flight template as best you can and you will do just fine.

Comment:
I had Zeidlik for 323 and 324 over the summer. That's about 4 hours of classes with him a day. I also had him for 309. And I'll tell you now, that I really like him! He practically tells you exactly what's on each test if you pay attention. He's really funny and down to earth. Plus, he works in an ER room, which equals good stories.

Comment:
Zeidlik is not a teacher I'd want to have again. His ego is through the roof, he has an unwillingness to help students in specific situations, and he has many demands on students that he doesn't hold to himself. Get ready for passive-agressive comments when you talk 1 on 1. The slides helped a lot in learning the material though... so study those.

Zeidlik is a hard professor. Study hard and work hard or you won't pass. Expects graduate level work from undergraduate students.

Literally got 100% on 3 of 4 block exams and 100% on the 14 question final exam. This class is not meant to be hard. He has a good sense of humor and wants everyone to get 100%. Achieving that is very doable. Easiest A at UND besides AVIT 100.

One of my most enjoyable professors so far. He is one of the funniest teachers I have ever had and as long as you study a little for the tests it will be easy.

For future students: This is the class that you do your senior presentation for. On the first day of class, he passes around a sheet of paper to all the students with the topics for you to sign up for. I recommend sitting in the front of the class for day 1 so you can get your first topic choice before everyone else gets it

The class is clearly laid out in the syllabus and the gradebook was kept up to date. There is a 30 minute presentation you will have to dress up in a suit for, and there are also 2 exams and a final exam along with outlines that are due. This is not a class you can skip, and Tom does not accept late work. The class and teacher are tough I won't lie

Zeidlik has been one of my favorite professors so far. He introduces a side to aviation that not many instructors can explain as well as he does. The math is very simple so long as you can plug and chug numbers into the equations from the equation sheet he gives you. You cannot fully explain aerodynamics without a little math.

This class has a bad reputation, but it really isn't that bad. Zeidlik is really funny, and tries to make aerodynamics interesting. The math you have to do is really simple, and you get an equations sheet on every test. He also basically tells you what will be on the tests, so make sure to go and take notes.

He's the kind of teacher who picks on people, but if you have tough skin you'll realize he doesn't mean it in a pompous way. He's a great teacher, very knowledgable and good at keeping lectures interesting. The teacher review from "UND sucks" is a very poor misrepresentation of his character. Would take his class again.

Great Professor if you pay attention in class. He literally gives away the answers if you listen to his verbal Hints. Seriously I've had 2 classes with him and so long as you listen to his verbal hints in class and only take notes on those you will cut down your study materials and have every answerquestion on the test.

Zeidlik is an awesome professor. His classes can be tough, but if you actively participate the content is easy. His lectures tend to be very short and the test are easy as long as you understand the equations he provides. I definitely would take any class from him!

Yes his class is hard, but it's not impossible to get an A in Zeidlik's class. You need to listen to his lectures and use the materials he gives you to succeed. He's a great teacher but the greatest teacher can't help students that don't take the time to actually study. So STUDY, and again listen to his lectures, he tells you whats on the tests!

Easy class, came in with PPL already and this class was a joke. Review for tests with him and do study guides if there are any. However, Zeidlik has a huge ego and if he happens to decide you're someone he wants to pick on, the class will suck. He has some good stories but overall he's rude and has little respect for his students.
