the first day of class she asked "How many of you have heard that I'm the wicked witch of the west?" Over half the class raised their hands and she smiled... I STRONGLY advise dropping the class if you have her.

Absolutely do not take a class with here. Here's why; Her test are all TIMED computer multiple choice. Which sounds good on the surface, except you get essentially no partial credit for your answers and 50 minutes of test time, no more. You make one mistake in your calculation and you are toast in her class. Because I believe she is too lazy to a

Not only was she completely useless as a teacher, she did not care at all about our grades. She refused to take time to answer questions during class and wanted us all to teach ourselves thereby doing her job. My room mate had nightmares about this course, literally.

Taking this class was like hugging a cactus. Howard is condescending, disrespectful and unapproachable. Students are treated with contempt. All you need to know about her is her personal website url: annahoward.com. She is a witch.

I honestly wish that I could give her negative helpfulness. Her attitude when answering questions was horrible. I honestly don't have a problem with the class, I got a 100 on test 1, but I could not stand this teacher. She was rude, condescending, and unhelpful. Every question that was asked in class she answered as if it was a stupid question.

3 days into this class i feel like harry potter trying fight Lord Voldemort.

Anna Howard is un-courteous, un-reasonably difficult, rude to talk with, and impossible to get along with. She is un-necessarily harsh when it comes to discussions about grading. Unfortunately this class is required for many people. So my advise to you is DO the homework, work for 2 hours per problem, trust me it will help and review the answers.

Anna Howard is not helpful. She is not interested in her students. She hates questions. She hates her students. She hates everything.

She forces you to conform to her learning methods. You fail if you miss 5 classes. Textbook reading & notes, video lectures, class work, online homework, on paper homework, and group projects are mandatory. DO NOT LET YOU TAKE NOTES IN CLASS. Unwelcoming personality. Ignores most in-class questions. Over-all worst professor I've had at N.C. State.

Statics is class that is required for most of the engineering students at state. If you can choose between MAE statics and CE Statics.... TAKE CE. Anna Howard is the only prof who teaches MAE Statics, and she is awful. She is mean, degrading, and has no respect from her students. There are no notes in class and the TAs just stand around awkwardly.

Anna Howard was sent to NC State by Satan himself to punish engineering students for their sinful ways. If you don't take this class seriously, you won't pass.

Class is set up poorly and seems to intentionally confuse students. Just makes you come to class every morning to tell you how stupid you are and not teach you anything. Class was only difficult, because she expects students to read her mind.

She's just rude. testy heavy class. too many homework/quizzes

I respect Dr. Howard and her handwritten materials which do make you work a lot and cannot rely on chegg or anything. But she often makes mistakes in her materials and makes you take the blame of it. She doesn't respect her students and her lectures are just designed to tell you that you know nothing about statics.

She uses a flipped classroom, where you learn everything outside of class, and then after that you have 2 homeworks per day in class. I have never failed a test in STEM in my college career, and failed two so far. I would recommend taking CE instead of MAE statics

If you have to take MAE206 with Howard. One word. Run. I've never failed a class. Ever. Ive always done extremely well. Until her class. You have to learn everything by yourself. She talks down to you and acts like you're an idoit. Most of the time I left her class not knowing the answers to most of the problems we solved .

Dr. Howard's extreme lack of social skills and basic human empathy make her unqualified to teach, let alone interact with other human beings. If there is any way you can get out of taking this class, do everything within your power to avoid it. If you do end up taking it, you will regret every decision you've ever made that lead to that point.

she does not go into full detail during class. Expects you to know the material before she even goes over it. She doesn't even go the material and you are stuck trying to understand it with you classmate who are put in a group. She does not care about you even though she claims she does. Her office hours are a complete joke and a waste of time.

Class is taught in a flipped format; expect to teach yourself everything. Mandatory class is a waste of time b/c all we did was groupwork w/ no time to finish the problems. Got fussed at for having a pencil out during class. No feedback on homework and she refused to post solutions to her problems. Gets mad when students don't understand a concept.

Professor Howard was definitely one of the worst and hardest professors I have ever had. She is not bad at teaching, but very hard to communicate with. The tests were not too hard but since they were way to long for the time limit I got some rough grades on them. The amount of homework is unreasonable (8/week) and graded pretty harshly.

She starts class 5 to 10 minutes early every day and she expects you to already have joined 2 separate and simultaneous zoom meetings. Attendance is mandatory and honestly if you miss one thing, it will affect your grade. Her homework is due 3 days a week 2 times each day. The harder of the 2 is due first and both are due during other classes.

Anna Howard is by far the worst teacher/professor I have ever had.. I have no clue how she still has a job. I received As and Bs all through my AP HS classes and college classes so far EXCEPT this one.. I'm FAILING. She doesn't teach in class and only has students work in groups and gives 6 online quizzes and 3 on paper homework's a week.

HORRIBLE Professor. Anne Howard is the single reason I may switch Colleges next semester. In HS I had a 4.4 GPA taking all honors & ap classes & she makes those teachers look like Harvard Professors. Wanna actually learn? Better watch YouTube because her classes consist of ONLY study groups working out problems. This is on top of 9 quizzes a week.

Anna Howard doesn't teach a thing in class and simply puts students into groups to work out problems on a slideshow. She gives 6 quizzes and 3 written homework's every week.. and best believe these aren't for completion. Avoid this Professor at all costs if you want to keep your sanity and not study 40 hours for a quiz and come out with a 37.

"Flipped" class in which you watch lecture videos and complete preparation quizzes before class - however, they're short and don't contribute much. Class is a constant time crunch to work through prepared examples and answer Top Hat questions. Tests are **vaguely** similar to homework assignments. She is unsympathetic to the struggles of the class.

Claims the course is difficult because it is students' first real experience with engineering, and thus might be the first time we've ever been challenged. Instruction is minimal while criticism is abundant. If you don't understand the material the first time you see it, that's tough - get ready to answer 10 multi-part questions in 50 minutes. Bad.

In high school, I had a 4.4 GPA and took several AP classes. Up until this point in college, I've maintained A's and B's and a 3.6 GPA. I am now failing this course after receiving poor grades on the first 2 tests. I have never failed a test this badly ever - let alone twice. This is not just a weed-out course, but a complete passion killer. Beware

She does a flipped classroom but the vast majority of time BOTH in class and out is spent on practice problems, there is negligible amount of actual instruction. The test are also absurd bc there is not nearly enough time to do the problems causing them to be graded not on how well you know the content, but how many you can luckily rush through.

Challenges in life are not always directly comparable. During 2nd major at NCSU/UNCA, encountered Howard for Statics. I am now a senior in my Engineering Program, TA'ing for freshmen who will have Howard next year. And I laugh and laugh and laugh in schadenfreude at their misfortune. Bad instructor, bad class, bad outcomes. Irrational goals. Avoid.

I cannot even begin to describe how much trouble this class has caused me. It is a total hit to your GPA. Barely any in-class instruction, terrible feedback, way too much homework, minimal time to take tests. She stresses everyone out and my love for engineering has partially gone out the window. If there is another instructor, TAKE THEM OVER HER.

This class is simply the worst thing I have ever done. I do more work for this class than all of my other classes combined just to fail the seemingly impossible exams and homework, due to insufficient time and insufficient teaching. Everything you do is on your own, including in class. She is not nice but doesn't care. This class is truly awful.

MAE 206 with Dr. Howard is the hardest course I have taken in my entire life. Not only is she bad at explaining material, she barely explains it and is rude and inconsiderate. I am passing all of my other classes with flying colors and am on the verge of failing this class. I spend 20+ hours a week on this class. Whatever it takes, avoid Dr. Howard

I am a 4.0 college student who has never failed a course, nor even made a 'B' in one. I also used to tutor calculus and physics. For the first time in my life, I feel in terrible danger of failing because of this horrid instructor. Likewise, there is a void where my passion for STEM once stood firm. This class has left me depressed and shattered.

Please do not take any class with this professor. She is rude in the way that she teaches and answers questions, she will make you feel like you are stupid, and she assigns more work than all of my other classes combined. Please do not take Professor Howard for any class. Truly the worst professor at NCSU.

One of the worst professors Ive ever had. Do not take her if you want to stay sane. Doesnt teach, and expects you to know everything before class and before the unit even happens. Grades are extremely unfair and will call you stupid to your face

Rarely answers students questions in a manner that allows the student to comprehend the material. She often degrades students when they ask any question that seems to her to be a simple one. Tough grader with vague explanation of expectations in most cases. Entirely too much work is given in my opinion and the class moves at an alarming pace.

Anna Howard has been seen both in class and during office hours yelling at students and calling them stupid over minor mistakes. Acknowledges that many students (if not the majority) will fail her tests, and may have to retake the course in the future. Reddit says the class is very doable, but I strongly disagree. I hated every second of this class

Worst and most hated professor I have ever seen. The class is tough, but she makes it impossible to succeed. She treats her students horribly, making it terrifying to ask a question if you're lost. Tests are difficult and you have very little time. Never gives explanations or even answers to most difficult questions. SETS STUDENTS TO FAIL.

Succeeding in engineering at NC State requires you pass Dr Howards class -- and she knows this and takes full advantage of it. The tests are so rigged and nothing like your homework which is 6 Moodle quizzes and 3 written assignments per week. Countless all-nighters for her class alone

Anna Howard might be the worst professor I have ever seen, to the point of me questioning if her job description entails failing as many students as possible. The class Moodle page is well laid out, that is the only possible compliment I could give her. She is rude, unapproachable, a harsh grader, and just overall demeaning.

Gives you an insane amount of work with practically no instruction. Claims she cares about you and wants you to succeed but will make you feel stupid if you dont understand the material right away. The time given for exams are way too short. Best thing is finding a good TA and going to their office hours as often as possible

This was by far the most mind-numbing course I have ever taken. As rude as the professor is, take the time to go to office hours if there is something you are confused on. Even if she calls you stupid, you might be able to leave with something helpful (Not always). I almost dropped the course after failing the 2nd exam. I am incredibly glad I didnt

MAE 206 with Howard - This course is about teaching yourself and has tons of homework. Class time is participation and practice problems only. Most questions expected to be solved in about 5 minutes. Even on the tests.

Howard is likely the worst professor at NCSU. Statics itself is not a terribly difficult subject, but Howard makes this class unbearable. She provides little to no feedback on missed questions so you do not know how to fix your mistakes. Instructions are typically ambiguous at best and grading is always horrendously broken. 0/10, actually -10/10.

Horrible professor. Anna Howard is just a genuinely unpleasant person to be around and is worse as a professor. She assigns a massive workload that only makes up for about 20% of your final grade. Most of her test questions are not fair for the time she gives on the tests. She has no mercy in curving or grading. Unfortunately she's the only option.

Horrible. You can't even take notes in her class. Worst teacher I've had and will ever have.

An utter disgrace to the word "professor." Anna Howard is narcissistic and demeaning towards her students and doesn't want them to learn, but rather slave for a letter grade. Her quizzes are poorly structured (complex and submitted on GOOGLE FORMS) and she assigns them even on the same days as exams. Ask your advisor about taking CE 214 instead.

Horrible - and I mean REALLY bad - professor. Avoid this class at all costs. I honestly don't even know how she is allowed to teach anymore. She doesn't give nearly enough time on tests and is a harsh grader.

This is a flipped class. Dr. Howard does not teach at all and does not explain the material well. She gives us so much homework its equivalent, if not more, to all of my other class's homework combined. She does not let us see any feedback or answers for our quizzes so we are unable to use them to study for the tests.

Horrendous professor. She maybe "teaches" for 5 mins during each class and gives you a bunch of problems to do instead. I honestly don't know what she does for this class, since she certainly doesn't lecture, has 3-4 TAs, and her prep content is videos she recorded almost a decade ago. Also, she doesn't allow you review your quizzes.

Mechanical and Aerospace Students - You can take Civil engineering statics and the credit will transfer over. While Civil Engineering statics is still difficult, the class content and material is everything you need for your future classes. Just talk to your advisor about it.

Dr. Howard does not give any feedback on any assignments. If you don't know how to do a problem then oh well. She is basically there to open the top hats and that is about it. I understand that her intention is for us to think like engineers and to be ready for this field but her execution is poor and rather prepares us for nothing.

Dr. Howard was probably the hardest teacher I have ever taken. She will not hesitate to call you an Idiot to your face, even when you are struggling to do good. Her class is terrible and she doesn't teach.

Simply put, the worst professor at NCSU. She doesn't let you know what you got wrong or what solutions are for tests or quizzes, making it very hard to learn from your mistakes. She says this is because she would have to rewrite the tests/quizzes if she did this. That may be understandable if she actually lectured and didn't have 4 TAs, but it's BS

A stain on the NCSU engineering dept. In order to get enough students to pass in order to keep her job, she had to give C- to people who got as low as a 62 for a final class grade. This is supposed to be a C-wall class. The fact that she manages to screw over this many students is astounding. It's not the material. It's her supposed "teaching."

Anyone who says her class isn't that bad has Stockholm syndrome. The class is mostly self-taught which is honestly for the best. I don't hold it against her that the class is difficult but I think she goes out of her way to make it worse. My advice is to use the computer-graded homework to study and talk to TAs who can unironically teach better.

MAE 206 with Anna Howard is a living nightmare. All the people saying "if you can't handle her, don't be an engineer" can eat it. I get the material is difficult. She is just time-consuming and unreasonable. To be fair, you WILL learn statics, or you will not pass.

It's a flipped class so you have to TEACH YOURSELF everything. People keep saying that you learn a lot in her class but it's meaningless;you will learn in ANY class if you make the effort. The instructor's job is to teach not to expect the student to self-teach for the entire semester. She is so useless,I literally can't believe why she's teaching.

She is the worst professor u can have, dosn't know how to teach.The only reason I A her class was bcz I had her old exams. AVOID her since she will make u hate your life.U will realize how horrible she is after u take the higher level courses.Don't let her awful teaching method to discourage u from your goals. She is the WORST of the WORST.

Dr. Howard is one of the worst professors I have ever taken. She runs a flipped-classroom setup so you are basically doing all the learning yourself while also doing the millions of assignments she assigns. Nevertheless, she requires you to attend class or she will fail you. There is finally a new statics professor at NCSU so take her instead.

Interestingly, following any negative review, there is always an inexplicable positive review of her work likely written by her TAs who claim that all engineering courses are similar to MAE206. Wrong! The instructor's job is to teach material, rather than simply share outdated videos and expect students to learn everything on their own.

The antithesis of a teacher, I don' know why she has this job. This woman is the worst teacher I have ever had in my life. She simply does not teach, does not assign homework, and doesn't provide solutions to problems...making it unnecessarily difficult to learn. When I asked her for help on a problem, she quite literally told me to teach myself.

Was missignf or the first month. Does not teach in class, since it is flipped. The problems she works, have so many mistakes. Overall, someone needs to give her the boot out of NC State. She thinks she is an awesome professor, no! Literally take anyone else. Class itself contentwise probably is not as hard, but you cant get any feedback, so sucks.

Yells at students, embarresses students in front of class, causes mental health crisises among students, she skips class without warning and still makes you show up. Do not take a class with her, you will be depressed for a full semester. 0/10 avoid with your life

Being A Teacher Is Easy, It's Like Riding A Bike, Except The Bike Is on Fire, You're On Fire, Everything is On Fire. There are few experiences like being in a class with Prof Howard. She screams at students, ignores pleas for help from students, and disrespects everyone she is in the room with. I have no idea how she is employed here. RUN far away

The person who left a comment before me seems to have developed Stockholm syndrome as they are fiercely devoted to this class. They are even urging others to leave engineering simply because they dislike the instructor's flipped classroom approach. It's disheartening to witness such hostility towards their peers.

Doesn't teach, doesn't provide solutions to tests or quizzes, she uses old, 5 min videos for lectures, and it's a flipped class with no homework. This class should not be as difficult as she makes it. The content isn't hard, it's her teaching 'style.'

There's a reason she's rated this low. Don't bother asking a question, she will make you feel stupid for it. Her "teaching" is 10 year old YT videos you have to watch before class. So far 3 of the weekly quizzes have included material that had not been taught prior. The class isn't crazy difficult, but harshly graded and harder than it needs to be.

Dr. Howard is by far the worst professor I have had at NCSU. I understand the material is some of the hardest to grasp early on in Engineering but she teaches the class like a tyrant and is often very rude to students. It gets to a level where most students in her class are afraid to talk to her because of what she might belittle them with.

Very passive aggressive and expects you to be a genius in the subject after watching one 5 minute lecture video she made 10 years ago.

Calling her a professor is like calling a scam artist a financial advisor

Dr. Howard is a very hard professor. She tries to make the class impossible and is very hard approach. She doesn't allow you to take notes during class, citing the flipped classroom approach. If you work extremely hard, harder than you ever had, you might pass. If not, switch your major or retake. Try to take someone else if possible.

One of the more brutal MAE professors. She's rude, unapproachable, and doesn't clarify discrepancies in her videos and notes. She blew off the fact that the video she's been using for 8 YEARS had incorrect information when I pointed it out and never told the class. Insists on finishing all in-class problems even if it means skipping questions.

The person before me appears to have developed Stockholm syndrome, as they not only like Howard, they also accuse other students of being lazy. It's interesting to see that after any 2-3 bad reviews, there's always a good one to follow up. This person is most likely one of the TA's, if not Howard herself.

This was by far my most depressing semester here at NC State. The workload was so bad, that you had to treat it like a 6 credit hr. class. All her TA's had Stockholm Syndrome, as they were all fiercely devoted to her class. How she's still employed here is beyond me. Welcome to MAE bootcamp, 15 weeks of straight torture. Godspeed.

Absolutely AWFUL. Does not teach the material but gives you videos to watch and class is just working with group mates on problems that no one knows how to do. If you are late by even 1 or 2 minutes you get points taken off. She doesn't help or explain why you're wrong just gives you a bad grade and goes about her business.

Her class is flipped, meaning you have to learn all the materials by yourself. Even if you want to go to her office hours, she is condescending and VERY RUDE. If you take her class, your life will be STATICS. One good thing about her is that, if you really try in her class, you will KNOW statics. Overall, she is the most unapproachable professor.

She doesn't teach you anything. The lecture videos provided are 5-6 minutes long, and they only give you an 'idea' of what you need to teach yourself. The weekly quizzes are formatted poorly in Moodle using text boxes. It is a passable class if you pair it with easy elective courses and spend 7 days a week learning statics.

By far my least favorite class. Anna Howard does not actually teach and is completely unapproachable if you have a question. She takes off unlimited points on every assignment. Even if you're able to do decent on the test, every other assignment and project will bring your grade down because they are graded so harshly. Weekly Quizzes are brutal.

I've never met satan but Anna Howard was close enough. I didn't think it was possible for someone to be so passionate about making their students hate engineering. Hard weekly quizzes, hard tests, and very tough-graded projects. She will suck all of your dreams out of you like a blackhole. Torture is an understatement. Good luck.

The most hateful person I've ever met in my life. She has zero interest in helping you learn and feels gratitude from making you feel dumb for not knowing material she didn't teach. I turned in work for a quiz, received a zero for not presenting work, she said "oh yeah must have overlooked it but then said she wasn't changing the grade. DON'T TAKE

Honestly the worst professor I have ever had. This is a weed-out class and she intentionally tries to make it very difficult. Also a flipped class but her lecture videos are short and from 10 years ago so you have to learn everything on your own. She is also just generally pretty mean to her students and does not want you to succeed.

I love getting scolded in class because I was too slow in completing problems. If I'm struggling to learn the material, help me—don't just tell me to move on. There's a reason why, after the first exam, there are rows of empty seats in the back, and it's because people are giving up after feeling left behind.

I didn't know it was possible to get a 60 on a team contract till I took this class. I swear her TA's try to grade on a bell curve with a median of 50.

Nothing brings the professor more joy than ambushing us with quizzes—before class, at the start, during, and, for good measure, a massive weekly one(30+ MCQ). And projects? Those are graded with a secret, unwritten rubric ensuring a 100% is mythological. It's not education; it's an endurance test to see how much academic torment we can tolerate.

Her in class slides are often wrong. The FBD's don't live up to her BREAD standard. I've brought this up numerous times with her and TA's, but I get the same response: "do as I say, not as I do". Really?!? If you are incapable of following your own standards, maybe you shouldn't be teaching.

Here's how her office hours work: the first 5 minutes are spent making fun of you because she already addressed that question in her YouTube video from 10 years ago, and then you get your question answered.

Basically, a Russian professor criticized her work too harshly, and now she feels we must all suffer. Belittling students is not professional nor acceptable. I know many students who have taken her class will rejoice at the news of her retirement because, based on the numerous negative experiences shared on this page, her boss won't fire her.

The reviews on this class really do it justice. The material itself REALLY isn't that hard, but her ways of trying to explain it, berating to help students with more simple questions don't make it seem so. Jeff Hanson on youtube was the only reason I passed this class. Weekly quizzes will ruin your week, although the first 5 are (mostly) the worst

Finding reliable reference material is tricky. She offers solutions, but they often use methods—like unit conversions in half her YouTube videos—that lose points on tests. She's not open to feedback, so don't bring it up.

Things she won't tell you: Even though the wooclap code is provided prior to class, and you are capable to submitting the in class questions out of class, I wouldn't recommend it. She has kicked several students out for doing so. Furthermore, she gathers the IP addresses, email, etc of people who view the chegg answers that she uploads herself.

I didn't believe it until I took her class. Anna Howard Syndrome is real and takes a few students every semester. It's like Stockholm Syndrome, but for the classroom. Students, stressed from doing all the teaching we pay thousands for her to do, develop a sense of attachment to cope with her derogatory remarks three times a week.

She is rude and unapologetic about it. I am going to get a decent grade in this class, but it was only because my previous statics credit didn't transfer so I just needed to review. Also, a lot of these high rated reviews seem suspicious. Going back several years, majority the 5 star reviews like to call the students who dislike her as "lazy".

I'm so frustrated with this professor—she seems to want us to fail. Why can't I access my past assignments while still enrolled? I'm studying for the final, but half the material is unavailable. She admitted in an email that she's too lazy to create new content each semester, so this is her way of preventing students from having the answers.

She STARTS CLASS EARLY and will make mean comments if you are late, plus she won't give you credit for the quiz. You have to put in hours upon hours of work each day to do what is expected for the class, and it's clear she doesn't understand what she's teaching.

Anna Howard almost led to the suicide of one of her students. She provides no support and your work is graded based on impossible things and she always takes points off even on the team contract. She explains the problems well, sorta. As for "lazy" students; her class actively gives you depression. Then she penalizes you for not having the energy.

Everything you need to know: "I had two kids but one died at age 23 last fall. (If I'm upset that's probably why.)" I'm sure your son wouldn't like that you use his death as an excuse to be a terrible person to everyone around you. Wont say sorry if she bumps your chair, steps on your backpack, or even coughs on you. Hatred won't cure your loss.

No matter how much time you dedicate to this class it will never be good enough for her. Sets insane expectations for students and constantly speaks down on others. I couldn't step into her classroom without having a panic attack most days. Genuinely does not care about student success one bit.

If her class was a job, you would win a lawsuit for workplace harassment. The desire to say 'please get away from my board, your feedback is rude and unnecessary' is overwhelming. But you can't do that because she's the professor and she'll wreck your grade in the class. This immunity breeds her narcissistic behavior of humiliating you for mistakes

I never wore a seatbelt when I drove to her class because I wanted to die before I reached her class.

In her class she acts like you're a 5th grader trying to understand calculus. To her you're nothing but a number and an idiot. When she walks up to your board during class she looks for anything and everything wrong so she can verbally wring your neck. I would take her class if you want to build some character, otherwise stay very far away

You'll find this class enjoyable—if you enjoy walking on eggshells around someone who mistakes control for competence. I went to office hours three times, and honestly, that was three times too many. I'm not emotional—I just want to be treated like a human. But apparently, not learning everything from her 10 year old videos means I'm not deserving

My mental decline that occurred during the duration of the semester was insurmountable. If you want a good chance of doing well in the class you must be a superhuman robot capable of learning before the material is covered, or else she will make your group feel the rage of a thousand suns.

I know, you're looking at Statics aren't you? And seeing that she's the only one teaching it? Good luck. She cussed out a classmate on the FDOC because she overheard him saying “I already know I'm gonna hate this class.” She said “GTFO and don't come back. I don't want to see you again.” She's mean-spirited and not a good teacher at all.

"Did I ever tell you what the definition of insanity is?"

Professor Howard has been an ineffective instructor. She relies on outdated videos nearly a decade old, communicates harshly with students and TAs, and recently sent a class-wide email calling out students publicly, creating an uncomfortable and unprofessional environment.

I expect to get an A or B in this class. However, I basically self-taught. This is a flipped class, where you learn the material for homework and come to class and do practice problems. This isn't a problem. The problem is Dr. Howard. By far the rudest teacher I have ever had.

Dr. Howard believes that her class is the most efficient way to teach statics, and it should be in theory, but she fails to realize that she has to be a good teacher for it to work. Her attitude and way of explaining things in a large classroom setting simply doesn't work. Although she is quite mean, I did hear good things about her office hours.

This class is just as bad as everyone says it is. The projects and weekly quizzes will take up a lot more time than you think they will, and the grading on them is so strict that it feels like they're just making up stuff to take off points for. The only reason I got a good grade in this class is because I sacrificed my weekends to study.

Avoid at all cost, I highly recommend finding another teacher to teach you MAE 206 for she was not fun to learn under. As proof of what I say is true, on one of the midterms the class average was a 52% so take this review as a warning for her class.

Statics was honestly a miserable experience. Lectures provided little clarity and leaned too much on recordings, while the workload was overwhelming. Expectations were vague, feedback didn't help, and the class felt unnecessarily punishing rather than educational.
