Ratings for Robert Snyder

5820011Dr. Snyder has made it his lifes work to turn what should be a fun and relatively easy course (materials processing), into a whirlwind of mind games and brainteasers. In addition to not leaving enough draft angle i think god may have broke the mold BEFORE he made Dr. Snyder's brain.
9920004Snyder is da bomb. He knows what he is talking about, gives you review sheets before tests, always around the building if you need help. You probably won't need it though because he does a great job in class and will answer your questions there. If it wasn't for the fact that he is retiring I would take other classes from him. BTW, I had him for Material Processing
7520003Great guy and knows his stuff. Will answer and question thoroughly and to the point.
8820002Good Guy, but a little dry.
9520002
9920002Nice guy, entertaining speaker, materials processing itself isn't a load of laughs but he's cool. study off of old tests and you'll be fine. you'll suvive w/o reading the text. Just a really good guy
9120002good teacher. Tests are straight from the review sheet.
7120002
9920002The best lecturer in the department. Crams more into a class than previously thought possible. Don't even consider someone else's sections of Mat Sci, or Mat Proc.
9520002I'm sorry to see him go (retirement).
9520002Snyder is one of the best when it comes to anything in mechanical engineering. He is a brilliant man with lots of experience. He is always around to help you out. He knows all the facts and figures about every machine in the shop and the labs. This is his last year, so take him if you can before he retires.
9920002The only teacher to make me laugh. The sound effects he makes are the best. Great teacher but the class gets a little boring. Definately take him before he retires.
9920002Great teacher. He's like your loveable grandfather, too bad he's leaving.
9920001I think he's related to Reinhardt
9920001Dr. Snyder is great! his tests are straight foward and he tells you excactly what to expect.
9920001Dr. Snyder is a great professor. He is very straight forward, easy to understand. He acctually teaches the material instead of saying "read the book"
9520001very nice guy good teacher you learn things
9920001Dr. Snyder is really awesome guy. I like his personal philosophy that it's pointless to memorize "dumb equations." Tests are easy and reflect only on knowing about what's going on. He's also pretty good at making things interesting.

7519993Boring, possibly because of material he has to cover, but does nothing to make it interesting.
9119993Very comprehensive, dynamic teaching techniques, a little boring but a very fair grader and he doesn t pile on the work
