Reviews of professor Michael Messman

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Use INCHES for all measurements. The "flipped class style" is a lie he will take 1/3 the class to talk about semi related topics that in general have nothing to do with the tasks at hand. Along with checking active projects stating they are up to par however when grading comes around will doc points for something that was cleared.

Prof Messman is great, but you'll have to read the book to really understand. He does provide a crazy amount of worked example problems, narrated video solutions, and old exam problems. These problems are chosen to prepare you for the exams, so what's going to be on the exam is no mystery. Prof Messman is very fair and is always ready to help

Mr Messman is a good teacher. He used to do dynamics testing for auto industry so he is very qualified. Really cares about your success. Exams are comparable to homework. Has pop quizzes so show up to class!

During the Pandemic, you think you could email him and get a good answer for the extremely hard homework. Very vague answers... waste of time. He says he likes to help you with your homework, please email. Well, he doesn't give you answers. He just confused me more. Tough class, study hard, because quizzes and exams are hard. Lectures don't help!!!

It's a project based class & he uses CATME to make the groups. If you don't have a good group, the class isn't as fun. The team aspect has a variety of assignments, especially the excel sheet & papers!! There is a weekly paper & there are 3 group ratings that affect the grade. Only 10 quizzes alone, while the rest is group stuff. Chill proffesor

By far the laziest professor I've ever met. Often complains about teaching the course itself. Comes unprepared to class & uses materials from other professors.

Dynamics is never an easy class, but professor Messman made it much more clear than other professors. He knows his stuff, provides excellent feedback and genuinely cares.
