Excellent class. Good and clear lectures. Moderate difficulty homework. Need to study for exams. Low time commitment (7 hr/week). If he wasn't retiring I would take another class from him.

Comment:
He is an awesome professor. He has been around airplanes for a long time and I found him very interesting. He tried to work extra material in to keep the class interesting (for example working in the movie "No Highway in the Sky" which is about metal fatigue). Class was not easy but he is highly recommended.

Comment:
Lots of examples, videos, & anecdotes from his work and his former students' work made class more entertaining. Tends to repeat some of last lecture's material at start of class which some might find boring, but it made for easier preparation for exams. Found that I remembered a lot from lecture and didn't need to study much. HW/exams fairly easy.

Comment:
Lectures would get pretty boring but they are helpful. He is a good professor. Just re-reading my notes was enough to study for the exams, which speaks to his ability to teach the material in lecture. Exams were not very hard but homework could get a bit tricky. I would definitely recommend him.

His class topics are great. Covers both stress-life and strain-life approach in fatigue behavior of structures. Examples and exams are extremely helpful. He is super clear and translates a lot of knowledge in a very simple fashion!

Great professor! Really helpful examples handed out in class, and really wants his students to understand the 'why' behind the math. Exams/hw were really easy. Would definitely take another class from him.

Scatterbrained teaching style... he knows his material, but his examples aren't very helpful, and he is not the most approachable person either (he is more afraid of you).

One of the best professors I have had so far. Very clear and organized. Very helpful too. Covers a lot of material in the course without making it feel tougher. Enjoyed writing papers (AAE 552) and exams for his courses.
