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.

I don't understand what's with all the negative comments. The homework isn't that bad because all the concepts are in the textbook that he literally wrote for us. If you can't do the hw ask the TA or don't do it at all cause the homework is only worth 10%. People say class is hard but the midterm avg was 65% which is good for a junior class.

HardYou can never finish the homework because that is too much and too hard.

Homeworks range from extremely difficult to impossible. Be prepared to spend over 10 hours on some problems. Lectures are sometimes very useful but often will not help on the homework in the slightest. Doesn't post a syllabus and says he can change the grading scale at any time. Not worth the stress if avoidable.

This is the first review I've ever left for anything in my entire life... Don't take a class with him, it will ruin your life. Homeworks are impossible and his teaching style is almost as bad as his hand writing. Midterm is in 10 hours and I decided to do this instead of study..

This class is so bad. Homework is impossible. Avoid at all costs. Drop out of Mechanical Engineering if you have to.

It's Monday of Week 4 and I am more lost than I ever have been in any other class. For starters, Bennett never gave us or posted a syllabus, so anything could change at the drop of a hat. That's barely a problem compared to the homework though. No one knows how to do it. Not the smart kids, not the dumb kids, not the cheaters, not even Chegg. Hard.

It's hard class, students thinks his lectures were bad only because they failed to commit a college level hard class as well as inability of understanding deeper concepts.
