This was his first semester teaching at UCF and I took his Honors Statics course. Three exams, quizzes, and one hw assignment per chapter. He encouraged you to buy a cheap version of the textbook and just copy the hw problems from the newest addition from a classmate or from the library. Nice and extremely fair grader.

I had him for Statics, and is easily my favorite professor at UCF. Very helpful, assigns tough hw, but if you do the homework you can do the tests!

One of the better professors I've had. He started a group project during the semester I took this class and it takes a bit of time but is not too bad. I recommend him!

Throughout the year I maintained a B average and I thought I aced the Final to receive an A in the class. I somehow ended up with a C overall. I emailed Dr. Filler and his TA. The TA said she couldn't help me and Dr. Filler never replied to my emails. The class was large and it felt like he gave random grades out to just be done.

I really liked Dr. Filler. Coming from Alaska, I don't think he was used to teaching such a big class, but he did ok. He's super nice, and he gave us so many chances to redeem ourselves and pick up points without really being a pushover. If you do the HW and listen, you'll get an A. I slacked and still got a B. Love this guy. No accent either!

REAL REVIEW: Had him for fluids. Presents the information well however can be a little stubborn. I recommend him for fluids because I heard the other professors are harder. His tests are pretty fair. He has good handouts that supplement the course material. You will need to do your hw and study to do well but I recommend him over other teachers

Dr. Filler is a really good professor but he's kind of a jerk. The course project is ridiculous and he grades it extremely hard. You'll learn a great deal about materials from the book and his lectures, but don't expect a lot of help out of class. He can also be very rude. Good professor but probably wouldn't take him again.

Dr. Filler was a really nice guy and his lectures were on point. Homework TA's study guide was usually helpful for the test unless he did to you what he did to us. His first test was very easy, but we werent supposed to be able to finish the second and the problems were much harder than the homeworkStudy guide. Quizzes can be a BIG help.

If you learn at ur own pace and work better without constant stress from the teacher then take Filler. He is awesome, truly cares for students. He teaches concepts and work on what he thinks u'll struggle with while doing HW. DO THE HW! If u do what u are told to do u will pass this class, not an easy A though, but passable.

Book is a must! First test was very straight-forward and followed the homework format. Second test was difficult and combined concepts from the homework. Make sure you understand the concepts! Filler goes over one or two problems from each section in detail, and includes detailed supplements online. Great if you like step-by-step processes.

Took him for statics, he was pretty good all around. I will say that if you are not trying he will not waste his time on you. Class is supposed to be hard but homework was not mandatory and in my semester we were not made to do the showcase project, which is a plus for me.

Good communicator in person, but cannot write decent tests. Very enjoyable all around. Very nice.

Strange class. Felt a little disjointed. Spent way too much time on asphalt and concrete, in my opinion. There's a project that is an absolute time waster. A lot of work for a 3 credit class. Read your book.

Dr. Filler is a great guy! If you get to know him he will take the time to get to know you! He is extremely knowledgeable and has a lot of experience.

I have taken him for 3 classes and he is definitely a great professor. He wants you to learn and helps you any way he can, of course you have to put in effort in his upper level classes. Study his quizzes and in class examples, they are gold for the test!

Best engineering professor I've had at UCF hands down. He teaches very well. I really enjoyed his class. HW not graded.

I took the honors section so he may be different for the regular section. I found Dr Filler to have very good lectures, and also graded tests very fairly. He always helped students whenever they needed it and was a nice guy. I recommend taking his class

Super awesome professor! Explains things in a way you will get, and prepares you for tests through "pop" quizzes and a list of example problems from the book to practice. He was really encouraging and made you want to work in his class. The only thing is for two quizzes he said they would be on one date, but actually made it the class before that.

Quizzes taken in groups, made a tough class very manageable. Allows for a generous cheat sheet on exams. Seems like he'd kill if you he got mad, but he was a kind, funny, interesting dude, spends summers in the arctic I think. listen to his suggestions! I went back & did everything he said, 2 days before exam, went from knowing nothing to acing it.

AWESOME PROF. Would take again. Material is on webcourses to be printed out. Go to class to fill in the blanks and take pics of presolved probs. Gets through all material on syllabus. Tests are okay (20 MC ?s and 80 pts for free response); a little tricky but manageable w/ studying. Cares about students understanding material +answers questions.

Test Material was more difficult than in class assignments. Definitely print out the handouts before class.

Amazing professor! Just beware that you are only graded on quizzes and 3 exams. However, he goes over everything very thoroughly and tries to make you excited about Statics (what I had him for). One quiz almost weekly, but they are group quizzes. P.S. Make sure to print all of the handouts that he puts up, they are very helpful!

Great professor, like the guy a lot. Fluids is a fairly easy class and he makes it a breeze while still giving you everything you need to move onward. pop quizzes count as the only attendance grades, and are only used as 3-5%. tests are split into 20% Concepts and 80% Calculations. concepts all come from the book so you REALLY need it.

Solid choice for statics. Very nice but also very straight forward. Doesn't really lecture, he mostly goes over pre-solved example problems. Do the optional HW and go to SARC and you should pass. 3 tests (2-4 FRQ with a bonus and 20 MC) and weeklyish group quizzes. NO CURVE. Some test problems came straight from HW or handouts.

Can't speak for him online, but taking statics with him in person was amazing. Caring, funny professor. Pleasant and passionate about the material, clearly loves to teach Statics. Fair exams and quizzes, really helpful lectures, and a very encouraging professor. I was ready to quit engineering until I had Dr. Filler. Go to SARC and lectures.

Not an easy class, put in the work and it is extremely doable to pass. Go to SARC, his office hours arent helpful, find a good group to study with right in the beginning.

I have taken Dr. Filler for statics and fluids and can easily say that he is the best professor I have taken. If you want to learn the material and be good at it he is the one to take. Although, I got only C's in his classes. If you pass him with any grade, you will most likely be good at the material. Be aware, that his tests are very hard.

Theres alot of hate around Dr.Filler but the truth is, if you do the few assignments throughout the semester and practice a bit, his exams are relatively easy. Lectures aren't super great prep for exams but they are more focused on real world problems whereas test are more textbook based. Extra credit prob on every exam and very generous on partial

Course consists of 4 exams, but lowest grade gets dropped. Professor is very caring and wants you to learn. The course and exams can be very challenging and tricky. Lectures do help for understanding concepts and free response. Exams require thorough understanding of the concepts and equations. I recommend him, but be ready to work for your grade,

Genuinely cares about his students, heavily pushes making good "future engineers". Very few grades in the course, practice & SI! Not a huge expanse of material in the course and it entirely builds upon itself so don't get behind. But Filler preps you well. Asking questions in class can be intimidating if you're clueless because he asks followup Q's

BEWARE 90% of your grade will be solely exams. To prep for these exams, use the textbook over TopHat and go to SI tutoring. Filler is a nice individual but this class was no joke.

It's not an easy course, but Dr. Filler will make sure you walk away feeling smarter than ever. He's a very nice and caring professor that gives open note tests and encourages using your instincts. You'll need to do studies in groups if you want to do well, but that's just the way engineering works.

Filler wants you to know the concept in and out like you're doing the one teaching, because that to him "makes you a better engineer" His lectures are if you already got the concept and want to talk about it in discussion, not for learning the material from scratch but if you catch on quick, be my guest. Youtube videos = a higher statics grade.

Filler was overall a pretty good professor. He provided us with guided notes for every chapter and posted questions from the textbook in canvas so we didnt have to buy the book ourselves. Tests were 90% of the grade and were usually pretty similar to textbook problems. some people found them difficult but if you put in the time it was not bad.
