Reviews of professor Brian Maxwell

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I almost failed because I didn't apply myself. Not a class to take likely. If you pay attention, work with people on the homeworks (which is encouraged), and don't wait to the last minute to do projects, you will do well and learn in the course. The prof is alright. Solid experience overall.

I thought this class was fine. People say it's really hard, but the trick is to just do as many practice problems as you can before the test. Get a physical textbook, the tests are open note/open book and having the textbook is helpful.

This guy is new to teaching and I took the very first class he ever taught so he may have improved since then. However, his lectures are extremely dry and derivation heavy (pointless btw), he can be pretty condescending and refuses to curve (I think the class average was barely a C). Unavoidable for fluid mechanics atm but avoid him in the future.

Yeah, don't go to his lectures. He just derived a bunch of equations, and he barely did example problems. The TAs were helpful though.

His lectures are derivation-heavy, but he does his best to make sure every step he takes is clear in class. Always available for office hours and is happy to help with homework and projects alike. Homework is based off the Anderson textbook. My best advice is to take time to get familiar with XFoil when the final project is assigned.
