Reviews of professor Thomas Lacy

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Dr Lacy is very passionate about composites but is very difficult to follow during his lectures since he goes into such depth about the subject, it almost seems like he thinks we know all this information already. The class is coding heavy but the homeworks are done in pairs so make sure you find someone that is good at coding.

Although the class is a lot of work with online homework, online tests (have to show your work), analysis projects, a midterm, and a final, Dr. Lacy makes it easy to succeed. His voice can be monotone at times. His policy with due dates was "as long as he hasn't finish grading all of them then it's not late," which I abused way too often.

Dr. Lacy was a fantastic professor. The class itself had a lot of projects and quizzes, but this is true for all MEEN 225 classes. He always made time to see students outside of class and prepared everyone extremely well for exams.

Tough class. Involves a semester long code with many different parts. Reads off a set of 4-5 pdf slides all semester. Mix of graduate students and undergraduate student.

His lectures are very dry and difficult to focus in. Outside class he answers any question you have but wow he drags out questions. He may talk on one problem for 45 minutes. Some concepts are not that bad but he makes it out to seem like a mountain. He does care and he will make time for students always. Regardless of prof this class is lot of HW!
