Reviews of professor Andrew Dickerson

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Absolutely the worst professor at UCF. I'm a straight A student and I'm not sure I'll pass his class. Grades only come from quizzes and exams which have no partial credit. He turned the entire class against each other from day 1 saying that we are in a competition. Wish I had postponed my graduation by a semester just to avoid him.

This class is very challenging, mostly due to the lack of partial credit on most assignments. However, he has a strong interest in the class material and is very willing to help you understand difficult concepts. If you put in the work, this class should set you up for success in your future fluid mechanics classes.

He is an incredibly intelligent professor with the experience to back it up. His teaching style is engaging, but not comprehensive of the course, so you ABSOLUTELY need to fill in the rest with independent study. His interpersonal style is candid, but caring; he will take the time to understand your challenges and work hard to fix them.

Helpful office hours. Key points are emphasised in lecture rather than posted online. Chegg-proof. Tougher than other professors, but you'll get a lot more out of it. Would recommend to anyone looking to do more than check a box.

Worst class I've taken at UCF. Some of these comments are fake. Questions are taken from PhD exams. Homework problems and reviews won't help on exams. In class quizzes are a large part of the grade but impossible to pass. Please avoid.

Great professor! Actually teaches at a college level. Later review questions are taken from a grad-level ENTRY exam, and do more than prepare you for the final exam. Anybody that rated him poorly were hoping for an easy A, and probably didn't actually learn anything in class because of it. Weekly clicker quizzes that are relevant and fairly easy.

No room for partial credit anywhere, no graded homework, only quizes and exams. Be ready to work your butt off. With no room for error. Extremely strict and will not consider any exceptions be prepared to know your stuff in and out right down to the decimal points and units.

He is a hard professor, his class requires a lot of self learning. He is available outside class but if you don't have the time to put an extra effort don't expect to do well in his class. Everyone I have spoken to respects him, but also would never take him as a professor again. I think its because he means well, I just wished he taught well.

He changed the exam format for every test and the final was a fill in the blank with no partial credit... What the hell?
