Waves are one of the most distinct and important phenomena in fluid mechanics. Various aspects of waves and their role in different types of flows will be considered in this advanced undergraduate course. Topics include open-channel incompressible flows and closed-channel compressible flows. Appropriate conservation laws, thermodynamics principles and numerical methods will be developed to support these topics.

The online syllabus is meaningless and does not say much including grades breakdowns. Lectures are clear but very dry and he writes small to the point I would rather just read the textbook he provides. Final was hard but he curved the class. He cares about his students but just kinda sucks at teaching

There was a lot of homework assigned, some which took over 24 cumulative hours to finish. Personally found his lectures to be even more confusing than his handwriting, which is already a challenge to decipher. Midterm average of 72% with mode of ~90%, so clearly he's doing something right. I guess I just didn't match well with his teaching style.

No, he isn't out to plummet your GPA to rock bottom(He wouldn't have stayed here this long with a bad rap). No, he is not necessarily a bad professor(Some people are doing well without any extra help). Yes, the material is quite difficult for many. Yes, it's possible to pass with a good grade. Yes, you may need extra help. Good, but could be better

There isn't a textbook and practically no syllabus! Plus, he has unrecognizable handwriting which makes it hard to read his handwritten notes and even harder to get what he is trying to teach. Together with 12 hours per week on homework is definitely mental torment. Good luck!

Lecture and homework are so hard, I could barely follow. Handwriting is hard to recognize. Need to attend every TA section possible.

Doesn't give you a syllabus first of all, which is completely ridiculous because you don't know where your efforts should be focused. Homeworks are absolutely insane and you have to have a system of group rotations to TA hours for the answers. Tests are actually pretty fair, however, but he does give you extra things to try and trick you.
