8520023Overall not a bad professor. I have him for Materials Processing, and, considering how dull most of the material we're covering is, I think he's doing a good job. He does, however, tend to go off on somewhat related tangents, a good portion of which are entertaining enough to keep you intrested.
7820012Gives a crazy amount of notes, which are impossible to remember. The tests are insane, they are extremely hard. Like someone else said he kills you for the smallest of mistakes on tests.
9520012Always has plenty physical examples of subject matter to pass around in class, which helps a lot. Manages to find interesting movies that pertain to subjects (one movie was on the design and construction of harly davidson motorcycles). Easy to get along with.
9920012I had him for EDG last spring, and I thought he was excellent. If you go and talk to him he has a lot of insight about the field of ME, and can pretty much help you out with just about any problem you have.
8120012I had him for Materials Processing. He tries to make the best out of what is very boring material. Look out for his PowerPoint presentations though. They convey too much information too fast. I got a good idea of the main subjects but his tests stress the details way too much. Find someone who alreay took the course and get the tests from them.
7120012has a chip on his shoulder
6520012You learn a lot of infomation in the class but it is impossible to remember it all, but he tests you on it anyway. The tests are really hard and he just lectures all class.
7120012I had him for Mats. Proc. The class and the tests aren't that bad, not too hard to get an A. But, he thinks he smarter than every one else. He makes things more complicated then they are, then tells us how easy it is, Just so he can make himself feel smarter.

7120012Had him for Engineering Design Graphics, he was ok but he was a really picky grader- eats students for even the littlest of the mistakes.
