Reviews of professor Ronald Brockhoff

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. Brockhoff learns the names of every one of his students, and he wants you to succeed. The class is difficult, but he is a great professor and knows what he is talking about. You can always ask him questions. Only thing I have against him is that he would go fast during lectures, and sometimes skip over things. Absolutely go to class!

Dr. Brockhoff is an amazing guy. He really cares about his students and knows everyone's name. He is available outside of class very often. His tests are open-book and open-note, but they are only 50-minute tests so you can't rely on your notes. The material is difficult, but he makes it doable and it sometimes is just finding the right equation.

Outside of Wanklyn, Brockhoff one of the best if not the best teacher at K-State. He truly cares about all students and wants everyone to succeed. He definitely makes you work hard, however he makes everything relate to work that you will do outside of school after graduation.

Ronald is the smartest man I have ever come into contact with. He's truly a genius and is very humble and helpful towards any student no matter if they're in his class or not.

Gave us group projects for the entire semester while COVID was going on. Never met a single one of my partners until the end for 5-people groups. Horrible teacher. Made tests hard by making them super long even in a shorter time period. Had a lab practical were we were given different items than we have used to actually test our knowledge on.

Great professor for a difficult class. An incredibly smart man. He is very willing to help students outside of class time.

he is the best teacher I had in the ME department would recommend any of his classes. they are not easy A's by any means but he is a fair grader for the work. it will feel like you got the grade you deserve.

I absolutely loved ME 400 with Brockhoff. I learned so much and had fun while doing it. You get to program an Arduino to interface with the OBD-URT port on your car, and you get to keep it afterward, too. Very excited to continue working with Brockhoff.

super nice guy, but his handwriting is pretty bad and his lectures are fast paced and hard to follow, sometimes he goes fast enough to where you can't keep up with your notes. On top of this, some stuff he goes over in his lectures aren't in the book and these things are on the exams, so if you don't have good notes you're kinda boned.

He is a really nice guy and he knows everyone by name. If you email him with a good suggestion, he'll implement it. That said, he writes down and works out example problems faster than most people can just write them down. You need to pay attention and work in this class. One thing to note is that there are quizzes every Friday, stay on top of it.
