Reviews of professor Michael Messman

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Let's face it, he is not very good at lecturing. He tries to use physical examples to teach concepts, but the actual difficulty with the class is the math. He reviews previously worked problems in a somewhat uncompelling way, and mostly lectures from the textbook. He is a great guy, though. Seems like the kind of guy I would like for a boss.

He's a good lecturer. Dynamics is complicated & you can't expect to get it all or even most from lectures. It will come from the textbook and doing problems over & over. That being said, he used the class time well and related concepts to real world application. Could run through problems a bit haphazardly at times. Exams were a lot easier than HW

Professor Messman is the worst professor I have ever had. He has never taught before this semester, and he has absolutely no idea how to teach. He uses lecture slides from outside sources and looks at them for the first time in class. He often doesn't understand how to do the problems and just tells us to figure it out in the homework.

Clearly unprepared for class. Does not explain the dynamics material well or maybe hes not sure. Textbook & YouTube are your only source in this class!

Love Messman! I'll be on the lookout for him in future classes. Super easygoing.

He really sucks at explaining things and always make them more confusing than when you just read the textbook. And that's saying something since the textbook is really bad. Avoid this instructor. He always tried to pretend that he cares but he doesn't have the knowledge to help you. If you want to do good in this class take other instructors.

Doen'st really teach how to do the problems when he shows examples the work is already there he just talks and most of the online lecture is wasted in silence as he waits for everyone to finish top hat questions that is hard to figure on your own when you're first learning the material.
