He is my favorite professor so far. Very experienced, friendly and extremely funny. The best thing is that he goes through the material very slowly, explaining each detail. So if you get the topic right away, you can just space out for 5 minutes, if not then he will make sure you get it. Very helpful during non-class time.CIVE2221 2009-10-01 09:19:36 +0000 UTC
Been teaching forever... knows his stuff... Homework means nothing and the tests are really hard. Even my TA said he would get some of the questions wrong. Just study and get it done, it's only one semester.CIV221 2007-01-02 23:20:57 +0000 UTC
he's a dick. he is condisending and impatient. Granted, he is a very smart man and knows how to make Statics understandable, but I beleive he is too old and full of himself to be considered a good professor. Wow he still runs in ****ing marathons...woopdy friggen doo, try treating thestudents like adults, they deserve atleast that much, they payCIVU221 2006-11-09 14:13:01 +0000 UTC
