Reviews of professor Brian Mercer

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Lectures were engaging and entertaining, professor seemed kind and approachable. This class helped me enjoy materials science, which I didn't think was possible beforehand.

Dr. Mercer is a great professor. He is experienced in the subject manner and makes the class clear cut. The lectures and homeworks prepare students well for the quizzes and exams. There are no surprises. Very personable and helpful. The lectures can be a little dry but its more the subject than the professor. He makes it as engaging as possible.

No 300 level Mechanical Engineering class is an easy A but 330 is on the easy side. There is a lab due every week, but that has nothing to do with Professor Mercer. He was a fair grader, and there were no surprises on the exams. I found his teaching style to be clear and helpful, though the class, in general, had quite poor attendance.

He is the best professor I have had so far. He will explain things in ways you did not think was possible. I would leave his class thoroughly understanding the subject and he was even more helpful in office hours. Please take him over any other professor you were comparing with with. You will not regret it!!!

Very good lecturer for Finite Element Method. He starts the semester with simple uses of FEM and then progressively introduces more advanced topics. Introduces popular FEM program in addition to theory. His office hours are very helpful if you have any questions.
