| grade received : | A+ |
| class rating : | 2 - Average |
| class comments : | The material was interesting, and I had several friends in the class to work with, which made the course a little more bearable. The teacher was bad, which made the difficult material even harder to grasp. The material came pretty naturally to me, but lots of people in there struggled. |

| instructor comments : | Didn't speak very clearly. Wasn't always prepared. Often led us astray in class and on the online notes. Very confusing. Made it a teach-yourself course. |

| class comments : | Not the bests of explainers, but curved a whole lot and gave you every opportunity to help your grade. My friend didn't even show up for the final (and never took it) and he still got a C for the class. He will not give less than a C. Ever. |
| instructor : | Bahram |
| instructor rating : | 3 - Good |
| instructor comments : | Like I said, pretty much stood at the front of the class and pointed at the solution and said.... "See, this is how you do it." He gave you bonus points for showing up to class, and the tests questions were either homework problems or examples from the book. |

| instructor comments : | Gives you every possible chance to make an A. Like I said, no attendence policy, but somedays there are "quizes" (book problems that you can do with classmates and are gone over before taken up) which count as bonus pts on the test. Plus he gives a decent curve and some take home tests. A little hard to understand, but I got by... |

| class comments : | Man, Jag really made this class. It was crazy to say the least. He was hard to follow at times, but his quizzes and tests were pretty easy. He does curve, but the scary thing is depending on how the entire class does, the curve could end up taking points away from you. His grading was prompt. I only used the book once, though. This class gets a 4 simply because having a class with Jag was such an experience. Maybe 4 girls in this huge class. |
| instructor : | Kasichanula |
| instructor rating : | 3 - Good |
| instructor comments : | Jag is hilarious. He has an Indian accent, I beleive, and at times can be hard to understand. But like i said, his tests and quizzes aren't hard, and are usually multiple choice. He's friendly and funny, for the most part, but he often won't listen to students, or at least has a lot of trouble understanding what they're saying. |

| instructor comments : | Jeremy Morton is the bomb! He's like 25 and dresses in torn shirts, jeans, and looks like one of us. Good grader. Gave good exmas. Hilarious guy, always livened up my day. I looked forward to his class. Always willing to help outside of class, having study sessions and all. |

| instructor comments : | Often times seemed like he wasn't focused on statics. Took lots of pauses and didn't do too many examples which is how I got by.
Other than 301, this is the only low level class he's taught according to School Tool. Maybe that has something to do with his teaching style. He seemed like a pretty nice guy though. |

| instructor comments : | Bahram is hands down an extremely friendly guy and he tries to be helpful but when it comes to teaching he does a terrible job. Class consisted of looking at examples copied straight from the book. It was very easy to see how problems worked when they were up on the screen and Bahram was repetitively saying how easy they were, but during exams I realized that looking at problems solved out had not taught me anything. Bahram is perfect for those who can learn from the book and examples. |

| course comments : | Basic bread and butter of mechanical engineering, really just physics problems of things not moving or moving at a constant speed. Some free body diagrams and situations can take a few minutes to actually sort out and comprehend what is really going on. Shouldnt be too difficult if you enjoyed physics 205 |
| class : | Fall 2004 section 005 |
| grade received : | A- |
| class rating : | 3 - Good |
| class comments : | Class is straightforward, sit and listen to lecture. attendence was not required. The lessons were organized and presented. Although Bahram would breeze through problems and not really explain his reasoning thoroughly and effectively. Read the book, it will help. Do the homework as well, the tests were straight from the homework jus with different numbers. Mostly guys in the class, a few ladies. |
| instructor : | Bahram |
| instructor rating : | 3 - Good |
| instructor comments : | Grading is nice, his communication skills could use some work. But he is a nice guy at heart and is willing to help if you need it. Don't be afraid to ask during his office hours, but I would avoid bothering him during class, he can be mean. Also don't mess with his system, as in sit where you are supposed to and hand in papers like you are supposed to etc. Make sure you staple things. He is OCD when is comes to that sort of thing. |
