Fall 2016 - Professor Spearrin makes his classes purposely difficult and pushes students to learn the material thoroughly, but is a fair grader. There's a separate curve for undergrads and grad students, and generally curves the class to around a B/B+ average (I think). He has direct experience in propulsion from his time at Rocketdyne and teaches the course material with enough context to make the lectures relevant and meaningful. Also a cool dude outside of class, and really helpful in office hours.
