I just added the course and was told to check the website for syllabus, schedule, etc. Well I can't find a website in wolfware. Anyone else in this course? 8/29/2006 9:34:03 PM |

it's a bad idea to take him cause majority of students who take him are failed or given D's. when i took him he pretty much failed the majority of the class. it got to be so bad that he was actually suspended from teaching for an entire school year due to his grade distributions and course evals. i mean it's possible he has changed his ways but if u had the choice of takin him or someone else, i'd take someone else. 8/30/2006 9:46:28 AM |

I wouldn't take him either. All the examples he does are already examples in the book. He doesnt do anything extra. I got a C+ in the course and the only reason was I did well on the final. I'm pretty sure the year that i took it , 70% of the class would had to have retaken it if they were in ME (basically all D's and F's). 8/30/2006 12:51:08 PM |

I had him for statics, I managed to pull an A- although I'm not sure how. I had Wu for dynamics so it isn't like it mattered anyway, nobody understood what the hell was going on in there either. 9/6/2006 4:35:37 PM |
