Reviews of professor Adam Hughes

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Hughes was a solid prof. He actually teaches you Solidworks and gives you the freedom to experiment with it. The classes are engaging, but easy, and the homework usually takes about an hour every week. The assignments are graded super lightly, where you basically get 100% if you just complete it. Finals are the only hard part, easy if you study.

Adam is very knowledgeable about Solidworks and 3D modeling! I really struggled in this class because I didn't have any prior knowledge, and he speeds through content. I wish he was more accessible outside of class to answer questions, but he seemed pretty distracted during office hours so I relied more on YouTube and asking friends in class.

Verrrrry project-focused class. Lectures are interesting but the vast majority of the learning comes from doing the projects yourself. Start early so it's not a time crunch near project deadlines. Adam gives you lots of autonomy to make whatever you want and students go above and beyond. Knowing 3D modeling software or Illustrator is super helpful.

Classes were lecture heavy and completely bland. Lecture content was hardly ever useful, if you could bother to listen. Hughes lacks sympathy and attendance policy is strict. Dont feel that I learned the content of the class due to his teaching style.

Class focuses on 3D Cad. Professor brought in various parts/products to teach us about design. The ice cube and draft example was really cool. Solidworks is cool too. 3D printing and manufacturing examples taught me how things are made, like CNC or injection molded parts. Professor teaches design and manufacturing. Really interesting class
