MATER101 . 1 Year, 3 Months Ago

MATRL101 . 8 Years Ago

Jim was the worst Professor I have ever taken at this University. He does not talk about what we should know until the last 15 minutes of lecture. The other hour he goes to a slide and talks about his own research and strokes his ego. The TA's are the ones who make the horrible homework, which is full of errors. They grade very tough.

MATRL101 . 8 Years Ago

Speck is by far the laziest professor I have ever had. He stole the entirety of his course material from a slideshare. He just shows up and reads off the powerpoint (which is filled with errors and very shallow) while the TA's do all the grading and test/hw writing. HW is long. Tests are hard and MEs are at a disadvantage to CEs in a curved class.

The TAs write all the homework & exams. The TAs expect you to read the book and Google the answers for problems in the HW. The teacher uses premade powerpoint slides from the book publisher. Not really sure what the Professor even does. The powerpoint slides are pretty disconnected from what the TA's expect you to know. The TAs are also really bad.
