Professor Bauchy is very patient and nice. You can understand everything clearly as long as you pay attention on class!

I loved Bauchy. His lectures were super clear and methodical. He never skipped steps. The midterm wasn't too bad, and it was on par with the homework assignments. I think the TA, Han Liu, made the homework assignments and he did a good job with them. The final was also about on par with the homework assignments. The class wasn't too difficult for me. I think in previous years Bauchy assigned homework from the book but this year he didn't. Having good homework assignments really helped.

Bauchy is one of my favorite professors I've had thus far! He explains all of the concepts very in depth and very clearly. The homework load was pretty light, usually only two problems a week. The midterm was SO EASY. He must've changed his testing/grading policy from previous years because the midterm was great. It was three problems and basically was the same exact problems he went through during the review session lecture. The final was a little on the harder side but still fine. Overall, I love Bauchy, he is a smol french man who is very nice and has VERY organized lectures. 10/10, would take him again.
(also lemme add this is the first A I've ever gotten in an engineering class, so that should speak to how litty it is. As long as you do the homework and pay attention, you'll be good)

Bauchy covers base concepts very well but covers none of the nuances of the material. He doesn’t do very many examples, so lectures are mostly spent going over derivations or conceptual stuff that don’t translate to the HW and tests. In order to learn the nuances you will end up getting stuff wrong on the HW, which is graded pretty harshly. The average on our midterm was an 80 because the last question was unlike anything we had been taught in class or discussion. He’s not awful, but frankly he just doesn’t really teach the material in depth in comparison with what was tested on. This rating is far too high IMO.

Big fan of Bauchy. I came in with a cursory knowledge of materials science but the class was taught clearly enough that I understood just about everything we had to know for the final. The lectures built off of one another, so this is a class that you do not want to skip. In addition, the class size will be generally small so Bauchy will probably notice your absence. Bauchy's lecturing style is highly interactive, where he asks students questions and even follows their wrong answers in order to highlight where the line of thinking went wrong. He also has a very understated sense of humor which makes his lectures very enjoyable. In general you will have very little outside work for this class; during our quarter we had a total of 3 short homework assignments and a final exam, and the graduate students in the class also had to contribute to a relevant Wikipedia article. Final was very fair and required a decent understanding of the course material. Stay engaged with the professor and you'll do fine.

Bauchy so far has been one of the best professors I have taken here. Lectures are clear and applicable to homework. He gives pop quizzes which range from simple formulas, basic problems, etc. which are easily done if you study and do the homework early. Homework got messy near the end of the quarter because of the concepts being harder but that was because of the difficulties of Winter 2020 and people not covering their coughs and sneezes leading to cancellations of classes. Tests are fair and Bauchy won't throw curveballs at you, trust the homework.

Taken online during the pandemic. Prof. Bauchy was great, everything was clearly explained and derivations were easy to follow. The material is interesting too (although it's a CEE requirement, so doesn't really matter if it's interesting - but it is a bonus). Online, the format of the class was set of weekly videos to watch beforehand (~2h), then one live lecture reviewing this and doing some problems. There are some quizzes (mainly qualitative - "which beam will be under compression" etc.) during this live lecture, I believe not graded. Exams are reasonable. No textbook needed, but if you need more practice problems it is available on Libgen (Bauchy's lectures are a better resource for explanation, however).

Bauchy is a great professor, I loved that his notes are so easy to follow because he literally does steps and you can directly apply it to homework problems and the exams. I did so well he also offered for me to apply to his lab so that was dope. He's witty and like subtly funny which was nice in an online setting. He also did quizzes which were pretty easy half of it was what are the units for something or what is the equation for something. The midterm was fair except for one question that tripped up a lot of people and the final was okay, a bit tougher and longer than what I was expecting but as long as you study you'll be okay. Make an equation sheet, that will be helpful. He does example problems in the lecture before the exam which was also really helpful. ALSO go to discussion because they do more example problems that are very helpful when you're doing homework or an exam. Usually his midterms are problems that are close to lecture examples which was nice also. Overall, 10/10 would take him again, you'll learn a lot and the class isn't too bad.

Bauchy is a great professor! For our quarter he would only hold one in-person 2-hour lecture per week, and he has prerecorded videos on YouTube going over each week's lecture material. They can be quite long sometimes, so you don't have to watch them--just make sure to attend lecture because he goes over plenty of examples.

Overall, the class content isn't too difficult. However, the weekly homeworks can take quite a while (BEWARE OF HOMEWORK 7), so make sure to collaborate and check with peers. I didn't do well on the midterm exam, but the final was straightforward and I ended up doing fine in the class. There are 3 online quizzes that test concepts covered in lecture. Not a hard class!

Great professor, makes lectures clear and the midterm/final were related to the homework so it was fair.
