Reviews of professor J Stu McNeal

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
As a complete outsider to engineering and experimenting w/ something new, Stu's class is an exciting learning opportunity! Show enthusiasm, work hard, and ask questions, you'll be richer for it. Projects are challenging and fun. I've begun to learn what I set out to, which is most important to me. He cares and wants you to succeed. Take his class!

Gave quizzes without telling us and only posted a due date online. He pressured us to have our projects done by the next class only to tell us, next class, that he changed the due date. If you ask him a question he'll respond with " What do you think?". Might as well record his in-class "lecture" because he'll test you on some random thing he said.

Be ready to pull your hair out and do double the workload. Stu McNeal is a tough grader who will never give you the answer if asked. You will be tested on materials that get briefly mentioned in class for 5 mins but requires much more effort to understand than just listening in class. These things are heavily weighed although it is barely taught.

His teaching style is to throw his students in the deep end and let them figure it out for themselves even if it is an introduction class. He's not really helpful when you ask him questions. He gives a lot of extra credit for projects and other things, which was nice considering his tests are difficult since you can't learn from him as a teacher.
