Reviews of professor Lance Simms

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I knew little to nothing about construction, but Simms is an amazing professor! He's really good at explaining concepts and is extremely knowledgeable about the subject. Don't be intimidated by the tests! Use quizlet to study the concepts and you should be fine. I got an A on the first test by studying a quizlet 2 weeks prior to the test!

He cares about his students and wants to get to know you on a personal level and help out whenever he can. The powerpoint tests can be a little intimating at first but after the first one it isn't that bad and they are pretty easy if you study. The pop quizzes are super easy and can help hold your grade up. I would take any other class he taught.

A veteran of the industry with abundant knowledge, paired with exceptional communication skills used to share that knowledge. Loved the class, wish I had more professors like this one.

Simms lectures very well and will use models/illustrations on the board to explain the concept. He will bring small pieces of construction hardware/materials and pass them around. He does pop quizzes which are open notes and his tests are slightly difficult, so study. No hw but he suggests that we read the textbook, which I and others never did.

I'm not the best test taker, so I ended up with a C, but I felt like I learned more in this class than in any others so far in the Construction Science program.
