Reviews of professor Steven Elder

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
This class was a great introduction to SolidWorks and a good refresher on Excel. Should be an interesting class if you pay attention. A lot of what you do are group projects, so make sure you friend people who will do their part.

Dr. Elder is a great teacher. This class itself is pretty laid back, but it is much much better to try and get the work for the week done in class. If you have questions about the week's assignment during class he is extremely helpful. He can be very understanding, especially at the beginning of semester when downloading Solidworks.

Elder really isn't much a teacher. Majority of the class is based off Excel and a software called Solidworks. He goes fast when teaching. Somewhat a hard grader and docks off for any slight mistake. Not always the nicest person when asking for help. Two big solidwork projects make up majority of the grades. Overall, a boring and long lecture.

I had Dr. Elder for Biomechanics. This class helped me a lot in Mechanics of Materials. The tests are fair, but the final is tough. This was a very interesting class to me!
