CollegeSuch a nice lady. She genuinely wants you to learn everything and bends over backwards to make sure you learn it. I've never had a professor this committed to teaching.
Pros: Nice/ not boring/ enthusiastic/ FAT curve Cons: Poor lectures, writes an equation and side tracks with some random story. The homework is very hard/long and lectures don't help you much with understanding the material. Download a fluids textbook and study it hard if you want to do well on the tests
Very nice person, very helpful. Makes herself very accessible inside and outside of office hrs. Wants you to succeed. Pretty awful lecturer though, and confuses people (only to clear up said confusion later by smothering you with assistance). homework is tough, but thought-provoking. Tests are reasonable. Final was hard.
She is really devoted to the subject and is good at making you excited about it, but the lectures are quite stressed and often based on the idea "you should already know this...". The homework is extensive and too often just about finding the right formula (not too rewarding). If you're interested in the field and don't have a too pressing schedule
