Easy and interesting material but boy oh boy is he terrible. I wouldn't recommend taking this as an elective.

Horrendous course, avoid at all costs. I'd rather study aerodynamics than do this again (and I hate dynamics) Avoid taking as an elective. If it's part of your sequence, GL.

I don't know why they call this class AERO 417, since all he does is talk about himself. Extremely tough grader and expects you to know everything about aviation. Stoped office hours in the middle of the semester, and refused to give you an appointment to ask questions after class. Avoid him for your own sanity, not worth it. Very sarcastic & rude.

If you want to memorize 10 000 facts about aviation by inhaling norms and standards, this class is for you! Get ready to become a book worm!

Honestly not as bad as the reviews here. The professor is good, he has a session on current events in every class which is super interesting. Also, he has very good experiences relating to the subject he is teaching and he seems to be a fair grader. The only complaint is the curriculum, I found it to be really dry and most of it is memory-based.

Avoid if possible. Doesn't post slides, wishy washly answers questions and never willing to answer anything again.

Tata is super knowledgable about the aerospace industry. Apart from that, he has a big ego and can be quite arrogant at times. AERO417 was a gift though. With minimal work you can come out with a decent A or B. Take this class, its basically free credits. Just don't plan on being treated with respect or dignity.

Don't take him as an elective. Spend money on better classes or better yet a better university.

to resume in one word, AVOID. Im sad that I can't put 0. This teacher is so narcissistic. He is the best, he did everything blablabla... My first aero elective and I hate that course because of him. Im in 4 year ENG and this is by far the worst teacher I met. Please keep your money and save your GPA, AVOIIIIIIIID THAT GUY! Thank me later ;)

The lecturer was clear with his presentation and teaches the practical concepts which are required for industrial specialization.

Prof Tata is highly knowledgeable in his field. He gives some great insights from his years of experience in the industry. Exams and assignments are very fair. Project might be challenging but is a good opportunity to learn. Did not expect to learn that much in just few weeks!
