Most Helpful Review
One of the best Professors I have had. He's really excited about the material so he'll draw you in. He teaches well and is happy to help you outside of class so you'll understand the material. He let's you know what is on the test and tells you what problems to study from the homework. If you can take him for any of your dynamics courses do it. He makes a very difficult subject moderate at worst. The only thing bad I can say is since he works his time outside of class is taken up by his job. However, if he is going to miss an office hour or class he makes a make-up time for it.
