Reviews of professor Jutima Simsiriwong

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Dr. S is a great professor and I took her for Strengths and Machine Design. She is a tough grader if you do not show your work. The project was heavy. I do not want to take Machine Design again. I will definitely take a class with Dr. S later again is she is offered.

Very unorganized. Quizzes are meant to trick you not to actually test your understanding. Does not make her own powerpoints, some are upwards of 80 slides for a single chapter. When working through in-class problems, there were multiple occasions when her solutions did not align with the same examples worked out in the textbook.

Exams are long, so be prepared for hard work to even finish an exam. She gives HW as practice problems, which was great for me. The projects are vague and disappointing, but she has grown as a professor. She is also willing to discuss where you went wrong, where she went wrong and how both of you can improve. She cares about your education.

Open book exams and you can print out and bring the lecture notes. Forgiving on exam grades. The group project was given about 8 weeks before finals week, when it was due, but the material necessary to start the math for the project wasn't taught until 1 week before finals. Seems like she is still figuring out how to teach a course, in my opinion.

I took Dr. S for FEM and Machine Design. I liked the fact that she recorded lectures as I work full time. Her projects are long & she throws curveballs on tests. Watch her lectures and you'll be fine. No assigned HW. She's very helpful outside of class, but the contents of these courses weren't too difficult to comprehend. Just youtube it...

Still learning how best to do things as a professor. She doesnt have a good feel on how hard or easy to make exams. An exam was meant to be done in 1.5 hrs and it ended up finishing 1hr later with many students barely finishing and the final was even worse than that. She cares but the class felt artificially difficult(trick questions, etc.)
