Reviews of professor Andrew Dickerson

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Great lectures but don't prepare you for the grad school level test questions. Only way to pass is to learn the material on a PhD level. Pulls questions from the PhD entry exam not book or hw. No partial credit. If you go to every class do all the hw and review it wont be enough.

Young professor that knows his stuff. Just doesn't know it well enough to teach it. He's growing and learning. However, until he finds his groove Dr. John Biddle on you tube will be your best chance if you're stuck with this professor for fluids. Good luck.

Gave me a lot of chances, 60 was passing, group projects accounted for 30% of grade, and even messed up and gave me a 100 on one of the group projects. The tests were brutal with a useless formula sheet, and the TAs were strict with partial credit. Totally do-able, just a ton of work even with all the crutches.

My favorite Professor at UCF. Highly recommend if you want to learn the subject. A lot of people complain about him because they did not study enough in the beginning, which made the topic that much harder than it really was later on the semester. Do not be lazy and you will do fine. Do not take if you want an easy A.

AVOID! Does not use the book, so cant reference examples. Quizzes worth 20% of grade and impossible to get all correct (iclicker) Tests are harder than any example/hw. Final had some multiple choice with 9 choices, and several that were a - sign away from being correct in a long derived equation. Easy to get the wrong answer no partial credit.

The best professor I've ever had. A lot of people disagree but it's just because they're not used to working hard for a class. I'm taking an aerodynamics course now and the professor says he does not trust the students knowledge on fluid mechanics unless we had this professor. If you're about learning then he's your guy.

He's a decent guy, but he was thrown a mixed mode class for the first time & I don't think he organized it very well. He only went over examples in class, but not in much detail. All learning was expected to be done outside of class. In-class quizzes were hard. Tests weren't bad as long as you understood hw. He did give a decent curve at the end.
