Reviews of professor William Evans

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Evans is pretty notorious for being a bad lecturer, which I do not deny. However, he makes up for it with his generous grading. It's not an easy A, but as long as you study how to solve the problems in the textbook, you will be fine. The group project is also graded generously, based on effort more than anything else.

Evans has a good personality and will try to help with questions. However, he doesn't seem to understand the material fully himself, and will often struggle to answer questions raised. Additionally, the lectures are virtually pointless and students usually just do other work. I would find a good study group because it will definitely help.

Evans is super nice and very willing to help but he doesn't seem to understand the material enough to help you. Class periods aren't productive because he doesn't seem to plan them ahead of time. The homework each week takes forever and then is graded super harshly. If you haven't had experience with a similar software, this class will be hard.

Evans seems like a great guy, he just shouldn't be teaching at a collegiate level. He doesn't seem to know the material before he comes into class and is often scrambling to figure out for himself what to do in the modeling software he teaches (Creo 4.0). That being said, the material itself isn't too difficult, so his class is definitely doable.

Really nice guy, wants the best for all his students. That being said, the class is pretty brutal. It's not that hard (most exam questions from the book), but he just does not teach very well. His class is one of those that just seem to never end. Material isn't that difficult, but hws can be obnoxiously long. Group projects are dry

Evans is a nice guy and cares about students... But, he should not be a professor. He would be better off as a 2nd grade teacher. Seriously. He doesn't understand the class material and (obviously) can't explain it. Didn't learn a thing. Attending the lecture will allow you to do other homework. Mechanics of Materials with Professor Mazita helps.
