course comments :This class is a good intro to AutoCAD class. The material was pretty interesting and definitely geared towards ME's and AE's.

grade received :A
class rating :3 - Good
class comments :The class was a pretty easy class. Some of the plates that we had to do for hw were kinda time consuming, but other than that it wasn't bad. The CAD tutorials were very straight and to the point. Overall a good class.
instructor :Clark
instructor rating :4 - Awesome
instructor comments :Dr. Clark is a really good professor. He graded the assignments on time and was always prepared for class. He's a really nice guy and always seems happy to be in there teaching...something that I find lacking in many professors.

course comments :Really easy class if you study and/or listen at all. Also, there are labs for the CAD applications. Material itself is interesting/good to know when you look back on it, but very boring at the time.
class :Spring 2002 section 004
grade received :A
class rating :3 - Good
class comments :Very, very boring class. So much crap about lines and planes and stuff. Also, there is alot of HW that can take time b/c you have to do these drawings that need to be fairly precise. They are not hard, just take time. The labs were actually kinda fun. You learn the Solidworks CAD package. Also, there is a final project that takes alot of time. You have to model something, you can do anything as long as it has two parts, for example, i did one of those CD spindles for CD-R's. You have to turn in
instructor :Clark
instructor rating :4 - Awesome
instructor comments :Boring, but he couldn't help that. He actually made it about as interesting as it could get b/c he has alot of stories. He does alot of work in his field so he can give you examples of things. This also has a downside b/c at times he can be unapproachable outside of class b/c he is so busy. I'd say take him.

course comments :The work was alright. Half of the work was on SolidWorks and the other half was hand sketches. There was one project where you picked some item and did all the things you worked on in class; hand sketches and 3d models of the pieces.

class comments :It was pretty easy. There was an attendance policy. The SW drawings were easy and I thought they were fun to make. Sitting in the classroom at 8:05 was boring as hell though. Kelly took your work whenever you wanted to turn it in basically.
instructor :Kelly
instructor rating :3 - Good
instructor comments :Super nice guy. Heavy country accent. Tried to be fun, but at 8:05 there isn't much you can do for people. Assignments back in mintues or by the next class most of the time.
