Reviews of professor Amor Menezes

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Makes the class way more difficult than need be. My roommate took the course a semester before me and had exponentially less work. Lectures are just derivations of equations with no applications. Group project at the end of the course that requires an absurd amount of work. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

Doesn't necessarily go above and beyond but his lectures are clear. The biggest downside by far are the exams - final worth 45% & midterm 35%. I think this format is unnecessarily unforgiving probably due to laziness of wanting to grade assignments. Homework is pretty hard but mostly completion. Seems like a cool dude but the format is not it.

He is very good at preparing you for astrodynamics and aerodynamics. He is highly knowledgeable but dislikes simple questions you could figure out yourself. The information is hard to digest during lectures completely, so consistently read your notes after lectures. Tests aren't that bad if you have an organized formula sheet.

He was the most condescending professor I have ever had. If you asked a question in office hours or even in lecture he would just stare at you with disgust in his eyes and tell you to look back at your lecture notes. Gave little to no feedback. Worst and most irritating professor I have ever had.
