Covers too much material too quickly. Doesn't connect with students and doesn't provide a clear method for solving problems. Tests are really hard and he doesn't prepare you well. Course structure means your whole grade depends on only a few problems. He watered down the final and upped it's impact at the last minute to keep from failing everyone.
Good luck and don't go to class. He makes the chapter material more complex than it is if you just use that class time to teach yourself with the textbook. Do the homework and understand the sample problems and you'll stay afloat, but don't expect great results on the exams. He said himself that 80's are something to be proud of.
He's tough but fair. Course material is pretty straightforward, but you've got to do the problems to get it. Only 3 tests and a final, so every point counts just practice and you'll do fine. He's willing to help you out, but only if you ask.
40+ quizzes, most of the answers have to be inferred and cannot be found. Only 3 tests, just like the homework however there's usually issues with each one. This ended up being a asynchronous class so no live lectures. Good luck, try to read the book, look online, call a friend. You're gonna need it.
I took his online MET 310 course (Dynamics) and it was a very easy class. His quiz material comes from the modules. Modules do not take long to read. Most of his stuff is open notes. Homework and quizzes are 20% each and the exams are 60%. The exams are just like the homework and quizzes.
This guy is amazing. Probably the best professor I have ever had. I really wish he taught more classes. The class material is tough, but he does an amazing job trying to make it as painless as possible. You don't even have to buy a book because he outlines all the material for you!!!
Professor has put entire course online. Almost daily online requirements expected. All tests are take home. I really like the format.
This was a great class, the whole class is available for you online so showing up to class is not even necessary but if you need any extra help he is always available to help! Do the work and it's a easy A
The best professor to have when you want course flexibility and actual learn the material. No textbook, don't buy it. Have fun taking this awesome class, it's a breeze, but don't slouch or forget to do the quizzes.
Good prof! Very easy to work with, just do your homework.
Keep up with the assignments and quizzes and work all of the sample problems (including the ones from the book in the syllabus).
Great teacher, I loved his online setup. Everything you need is online, and the quizzes and test can be done by reviewing the material. Made it easy to learn. Very fair grading. I never had to actually attend class, everything was put up online and I was able to learn solely from that. He was easy to get a hold of if need by for clarification.
Good class, clear expectations, a little fast paced definitely need to check blackboard everyday.
Very clear and easy to understand, open to questions, and scheduled.
Awesome professor! Very helpful and accommodating!
Great class, easy to pass and fair grading.
The best professor I have ever had. The class material is tough, but he made it as easy as possible. You don't need to buy a book, everything you need, to get an A, he posted on blackboard. Just do your quizzes and homework on time, and you will do great on exams.
Great class, book is not required but would probably help.
Good professor, the material can be hard, but the reference material is great. He is very willing to help you in order understand the material.
He is a great teacher, even if you can't make it to class, he is accessible through email. All of the stuff he teaches is through the website with videos and examples.
Excellent teacher, very easy to learn from.
It was very helpful to have all of the class information on the PLE given to us through blackboard. Without that resource the course would have been much harder.
He's a really great professor. He's very helpful inside and out of classes. His lectures are very easy to understand.
Read the modules and watch the example videos and it'll make sense.
This was an online class, but it was very well put together and organized very well. Overall this was a very good class.
Posts everything you will need throughout the semester online before the 1st day. Everything is easy to find and clear to follow. Difficult material but if studied nothing unbearable.
As long as you read the material, whether in the PLE or the book then you will be fine in the class.
Organization of material is exceptional. Study and complete all assignments on time and you will do fine. Many quizzes online, however that allows more chances for recovery if you find your grade is descending. Never give up.
Great teacher, one of the best ways to have tests, homework and quizzes.
Precise teaching with clear understand of what is on the quizzes and tests by material covered in class. He has been instructing this course for many years and has set it up correctly.
The classes are designed perfectly. Very intuitive, easy to learn large amounts of information.
Professor Tomovic is very knowledgeable in his field of study and portrays the knowledge needed to understand the material excellently. His examples are key to understanding the process of solving problems using the information he has taught.
Class attendance isn't mandatory, and Dr. Tomovic provides all the reference material online. Course is homework and quiz heavy, but they're all online and follow the book so that it is easy to understand. No final exam, just three tests that are open book and closed everything else. He made vibrations easy to understand, definitely recommend!
Everything is online. If you follow the lectures and take every quiz and homework you can ace this class.
Great professor, very knowledgeable.
Dr. Tomovic is all about not inducing stress. For his Vibrations class, all tests, quizzes, and homework were take home since they heavily used MATLAB. The quizzes were very similar to example problems, each were between 1 and 4 questions for various chapter sections. Homework was from the book. Tests were about 5-6 questions and covered 2 chapters
This professor is very passionate about his study and teaching. I strongly agree for anyone to decide on taking this class and even other classes taught by him. There is a lot of work involved but very beneficial in the end. This professor has got my pick.
Only one word. AMAZING. He is the best professor ever came across. Easy A, respected student and helped anytime you need him. I got my textbook stolen and couldn't do my work on time, and he extended my deadline for me. Everything is online , just read the book and it an A. Will take him again and i recommend him for anyone who wana take his class.
Dr. Tomovic is a great professor because is understanding to the students and passionate about the material he is teaching. Attendance isn't mandatory but going to class gives back the respect, in a way, that he gives to the students. The textbook is important, as most of the material is online.
He is awesome, as many people said he is an "easy A" but make no mistake you will do a lot of work for his classes. Its just the fact that you are forced to keep up every step of the way that makes it easy. He is very easy to get in touch with and will personally help Students with their work. I would definitely take him again.
There are lots of Homework and quizzes. they all come directly from the lectures and his online explanations. He does step by step examples and only changes the numbers so all you have to do is follow along. quiz easy; homework easy; testeasy-medium. follow along and you'll get an A.
Take him for every class he has available, great teacher! MET 310, MET 420, MET 495/431
The professor was very thorough in course material and made sure that there were very few questions that would need to be asked.
MET 310 online class is very well constructed! Really, this class should be used as a model for other classes. Do the work, make the grade - it really rings true here.
The lectures correlate to the homework and tests. He goes over examples in class that will help once it comes time to prove your knowledge. He promptly responds to emails and questions.
The course went off of PLE and notes. It was easy to follow. Just manage your time wisely with this course because there is a lot of material that is covered. The professor is understanding of life happening and will work with you.
Dr. Tomovic is a great professor, he will work with you till you understand the material and is always willing to work with you. You will have to work, but everything is clearly laid out.
I've had this professor for numerous classes (MET 310/420/445), most of his courses are a TON of work (40-60 quizzes). He understand life happens and is always easy to reach and helpful. Requirements to pass his class are clearly laid out, and if you do all of the work you'll pass. One of the best engineering professors at ODU
Dr. Tomovic was fantastic. He provided a very challenging class and he was always very immediate to respond to emails, regardless of the day or the time of day.
Dr. Tomovic took a class that I found to be a bit challenging and made it easy for me to grasp the concepts. His assignments were straight-forward, and he didn't try to trick anyone or cause us to stumble. He gave us assignments and exams that clearly allowed us to demonstrate comprehension. I would gladly take another course with him.
Seems very bored by his own lectures as if he's read the same powerpoint 500 times before and assumes you already know most of it. He post the lectures and examples. States at the beginning that "use of matlab and simulink not manditory but they make things easier " then weights about 20% of your grade on it with minimal instruction how to apply it
Gives a lot of homework but it helps with the tests and quizzes.
Dr. Tomovic is an awesome teacher. He is willing to help you wherever he can and is incredibly knowledgeable in his studies.
I took this class with in class lectures, but all the homework and tests were online. Quite a bit of quizzes and homework, but you are able to work at your own pace. Very fair on deadlines and enjoyable to have as a professor.
All assignments and material was available on the first day so that you can do everything independently. Due dates were flexible.
Definitely one of the best engineering professors at ODU. He made vibrations easy and interesting. Expect a fair amount of work and a good grade if you keep up with it. Knowledge of Matlab is very helpful and shortens assignments. Dr. Tomovic is extremely responsive, willing to help, and has good ideas on how to further improve the course.
Best professor you can take for this course. Everything is online, just have to keep up with your work, and do examples.
Dr. Tomovic is a Godsend! He provides more than enough material to succeed. You also have the option to work at your own pace online or come to class if you need clarification on material. He allows multiple attempts on the homework, quizzes and exams, which is rare. I urge you to show him respect because he gives it to us and he deserves it.
Read the material and answer questions.
Good course. Professor is knowledgeable and friendly. Appreciates class discussion and input. Would highly recommend.
Taking an online, asymmetric class, I often felt like a faceless name especially when I had questions about course material. For the most part, my questions were answered. The computer graded everything instantly which is good for the professor but not great for the student because the question of "why? is the answer wrong" becomes more difficult.
Overall, a good instructor. Be advised, however, ask for help when you need it and don't wait until the last minute!
Each unit (8) has about 7 small quizzes and a hw assignment with 14 questions. Do not procrastinate!
Dr. Tomovic is a great professor that is very seasoned in the engineering field. His knowledge is great, but his skill to convey the material on a level that almost anyone can understand is his true gift. All around great professor in the classroom that leads great discussions and keeps the humor flowing.
Dr. Tomovic is a great professor who really values student participation in class. He encourages discussion during lectures and tries to tailor the content coverage to what the students are interested in.
The work is challenging but he provides clear examples to follow if you get stuck. Dont wait to do assignments. Some can be difficult and you will struggle to catch up. He is more than willing to work through problems in class. Great course.
He is a very good professor that puts a lot of trust into the students. He will make sure you get the knowledge needed to understand the course in a easy format. The homework assignments are sometimes long, however, they will prepare you for the tests. I would gladly take another course with Dr Tomovic.
I would highly recommend Dr. Tomovic for any of his classes. He is very trustworthy with his students on the homework and test which allows a stress free learning experience. The homework can be lengthy and time consuming but he allows more than enough time to complete it and the material on the homework and quizzes are very similar to the test.
Dr. Tomovic is one of the best professors at ODU. There is 5 homework worth 50% and 50% on 11 quizzes which are all on the blackboard. Easy A if you do the homework and quizzes.
Professor Tomovic is always available to help, he is caring and always making sure that everything is clear for everybody.
The professor is very helpful. His response time is exceptional. With more classes moving online Dr. Tomovic's classes are perfect with my schedule.
Awesome class, be ready for a lot of homework!
Dr. Tomovic is a gently spoken professor with a true love for mechanical engineering. teaching dynamics is no easy task but I felt like he gave every student in the room a chance to understand the material by explaining many problems and giving test online.
One of my favorite professors! He is kind, interactive, and always open to questions. Kind with deadlines, replies to emails in a timely manner, and the information given will always be what is tested. I can not stress enough how amazing he is. Always passionate about every class/ subject he teaches. Always be my first pick for professors!
Super nice guy. Lectures can be boring but everything is online. All quizzes based on lectures. All homework has examples of the same problems with different figures on blackboard.
Exactly what you want in a professor. The grading was very fair, lectures were online and in clear modules, and assignments were relevant to the class. Tests were fair and quizzes were fairly short and online. The most organized professor I have!
I like the Professor. He is so inspirational and makes us think out of the box. He is cooperative and helps us to cope up with the subject.
Nothing it was a great class alot learning material
As long as you read the modules and stay on track you will pass the class. There are a lot of quizzes but they are easy and very helpful with obtaining the information. Take the class.
Responds to emails and grades work ridiculously quick at any hour. No waiting for problem resolution. The class had an amazing number of deliverables. Far behind at your peril.
Great Professor, one of the best in the MET program. Had him for MET 310 & 420. Professor Tomovic really focuses on teaching the material vs. testing. His lectures always prepare you for the tests/ assignments. His classes aren't just easy A's though. Be prepared to work through a lot of assignments. Do the work and you'll get the grade/ learn.
The class is design to be completely online. There is no exams in this class, BUT there is a lot of HW and quizzes. He gives examples with step by step procedures and if you follow them you will be fine. There were a few times i needed help and he was always willing to help with any questions. I would take him again!!!
There was a lot of course work but there was plenty of instruction and guidance that made the work easy to complete.
Anytime there's a question, able to get an answer and the help needed.
Dr. Tomovic was a pretty awesome professor. He gave us everything we needed to complete the class well before day one, and was available for help and providing updates here and there as we progressed. Just make sure you at least glance at the readings before quizzes, it'll help volumes. Definitely would take him again!
I The homework and quizzes are vital to really learning the subject. His examples and walkthroughs made it clear.
Responded quickly to questions outside of class. Transparent and straight forward with expectations. Very organized with clear instructions.
I have taken many courses with Dr. Tomovic over the years and would highly recommend him for any of your classes. He is always there if you need help and loves watching his students understand the material. His online classes where you "work at your own pace" is enjoyable to take even in the summer time.
Forced into distance learning but the course was still good. Expect to spend many hours/week on homework assignments and they're pretty hard. And yet once I was comfortable completing those problems the exams were the same style and process to solve. They took me 3-4 hrs, he provides up to 2 days, and I scored well. I learned a lot in this course.
Online course, lots of good examples and detailed lectures of required material. Promptly returned emails when needed help. Straight forward expectations. Good teacher. Only small complaint I may have is his handwritten worked examples were pretty sloppy and hard hard to read writing. Beside that good teacher and would take again.
If you look at the quiz and compare it to the posted notes. You might find they look similar, or match. The same might apply to tests and quizzes. Wink Wink.
great professor. he made dynamics an easily digestible topic for an electrical eng student. he was accessible outside of class to field my, at times, ignorant question. and he did so respectfully with a smile on his face
An excellent professor. His assignments are enjoyable but you have you put in the work, which is expected for graduate level coursework. He pushes you to think like an engineer and holds you to a higher regard because of such. I am taking him again for another course in the spring. He really wants you to succeed. Great professor.
I highly recommend Dr. Tomovic.
This class felt like a completion grade. The professor gave the opportunity to make the research that you do in the class matter. If you're a graduate student, that means that by taking this class, you could use the class work to prepare a research or conference paper. If you're a grad student with a ton of work, it can be a good easy 3rd course.
Amazing professor! What you put in is what you get out. You can do the assignments and pass, but if you really put time into the assignments then you will also gain a lot from them as well.
Recommend taking his classes.
Very fair teacher that makes you work for your grade. As long as you put in the copious amount of work you will both learn a lot and pass with the effort you put in. The lectures are very proof heavy so be sure to use plenty of supplemental material to get other view points.
Professor provides many examples along with the lecture to apply to homework and test questions (especially for important topics). The course cumulation is well structured, so there aren't many surprises.
Easiest class with the best outcome!
I didnt like that professor displayed the information by reading power point slides breaking down the derivation of equations and then not working through any in class. There were alot of provided examples however that were very closely related to the homework so that helped alot with understanding.
Student friendly, practical and caring professor.
Overall good professor. Would take again
Professor Tomovic is a great professor. I have taken two asynchronous courses with him in my ODU career. Both courses were informative and well put together. If I had any questions he would respond via email very quickly and clearly.
Great professor, class is hard but if you study you can get a good grade
This is the best professor in the MET department, and maybe the entire campus. He sincerely wants you to learn and get a good grade, the subject is hard but no one could explain it better than Tomovic. only 14 assignments so you don't feel overwhelmed with all the material. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
This is probably one of most well-organized professors I've ever had. Course content is clear and straight to the point, very helpful when you need it. Dr. Tomovic is very understanding and knows how to help, just ask! Equal parts theory & computation. Decent time spent required, practice Statics. Some Calculus, near-perfect Algebra is a must!
The class was straightforward and all materials needed were easily accessible. All assignments were also available to complete at one's own pace. The notes, assignments, and examples all helped to understand the subject and pass the class.
Take her class!! You will not be disappointed. Professor T cares about her students and will go out of her way to make sure her students is understanding the subject and set them up for success. Quizzes and test are based on the reading and PowerPoint. If you are up to date on that it is impossible to receive anything lower than an A!
This is a MATLAB course. His content is very straightforward. However, you will go over some topics such as Calculus, Statistics, Diff. Equations, and Physics and you will use MATLAB to solve problems in those areas. It can be very challenging and prior MATLAB experience is highly recommended IMO. But, great prof., and teaches other courses too!
He is the best professor I took courses with him. Cooperative, helpful, and easy to reach out to him.
I took this class during the summer '21. There are a lot of homework and quizzes, but if you take the time to watch Professor Tomovic's lectures, read the notes, and try the additional practice problems, you should have no problem with this course. There were material that you needed to remember from previous classes, but ask ?s if you need help!
Was an easy class he will give you plenty of chance to get a good grade
There is a lot of HW but they are not difficult at all. The HW's are really there to guide you through the chapters and pick out the necessary information, as opposed to having to decipher what info is important.
This course is a good amount of busy work when it comes to taking all the quizzes and test for each chapter. However, all the information is provided via modules making these assignments fairly easy. the test material is all studied and reviewed in class and on the homework. Overall an easy A as long as you put the time and work into the course.
Great professor for this course. He is clearly interested in his students and cares about them learning. He is one of the few professors I have had who is open to feedback and looks for ways to improve the learning experience. He is clear in his grading and easy to contact for help.
Professor Tomovic was great to have during Dynamics. His module outlines in Blackboard were very easy to follow. He also provided MANY examples from hand written problems to actual videos of him working through problems. I would 100% recommend to take him for your courses.
His class is well structured and very easy to follow. Do the work and you will succeed with ease.
The online class had a clear structure and good material.
This is the second class I have taken with Mileta Tomovic. He is incredibly organized, which is so key to online classes. He grades every assignment quickly and it is so clear what he wants from his students.
Very well organized and structured. Be prepared to work! Assignment heavy! Assignments are pretty straightforward, just tedious. He's very prompt in returning emails, even at all hours of the night and on weekends. Anytime I've had an issue he's been there to help, even if that meant a zoom call on the fly.
Dr. Tomovic wants you to understand the material, not just pass the class. Reach out if there are any questions you have, he is very helpful.
Professor Tomovic is awesome. He lets you complete the course at your own pace and accepts assignments and quizzes late with no penalty. He is readily accessible by email and quick to answer questions. With all that said, he could improve the class by providing more example problems and explanations of the example problems.
During my time in this course I missed an entire exam just because I simply confused the date it was to be taken. I emailed the professor the day after I had missed the exam and let him know my situation and he allowed me to take the exam. I believe having a professor who understands people have lives is important and this professor understands.
A real nice and simple class course.
The class allowed the us to go at our own pace with only a few deadlines for homework and tests. This class was one of the best summer courses I have had.
Professor will gladly set up meetings outside of class time to answer questions, go over problems, and really takes the extra time to make sure you understand if you ask for help. Lectures and example problems clearly covered the topics, and the quizzes asked thoughtful questions about applying equations.
The course is very well prepared to teach and repeat the information already obtained
Professor Tomovic is able to clearly explain the information provided in the class modules.
This has been the third class I have taken with this professor, he's that good. He cares about his students and the subject matter he teaches. He's talented at making the classes interesting through projects and journals which relate them to real-world situations. Finally, he is easy to reach which is a great attribute when taking online classes.
His courses are typically given in an online class style. Lots of small quizzes, but they are all easy. Everything is open notes/ open internet basically. He is very fast at responding if you do have any questions. Attendance not necessary or required.
The professor treats each of the Graduate students as adults, both respectful of and understanding to the plight of having a full-time job, while also working towards a degree, and he has structured the course to accommodate this situation.
I enjoyed Dr. Tomovic's class, for graduate students, you will have opportunities to apply what you learned from the class to your own research.
Dr. Tomovic is great. He is very caring and expresses his views clearly and succinctly. He is a very liberal grader and understands students' concerns and problems. 100% will take another course offered by him.
Prof is available at almost any time, just send him an email, and he will respond in 24-48 business days. Quizzes are easy, and HW is as well. Tests are exactly like the HW and Quizzes, so study those. If you fail, or get less than a B-, well, my thoughts and prayers, because he makes it that easy. Just spend time each day, and it will all be A-ok!
The professor is kind of usual in his approach to the problems; he will give you similar problems to solve vice, diving off into mental gymnastics when the material is sort of vague, to begin with. His methodology is also different, especially when ODU's professor chooses to use in math (i, j, K). You reach the same answers. He is a good professor
Professor Mileta is one of the best online lecturers. His lectures are clear and concise, and the quizzes reflect his lectures. This is not an easy coarse, but Professor Mileta makes the material easier to digest. He's also available if you are stuck on the material or homework. Overall, he is one of the best online professors.
Great and easy to follow presentations. Review problems and topics and you will do great in this class. Professor was and is avialable to help at any time. I was overseas and we made it work all ydo to his support.
Professor Mileta was great. Lectures are concise, and examples given really help with understanding new concepts. I would take another class with him anytime.
Clear Grading format, reliable class schedule and due dates. Lectures are very informative. Was easily accessible and transparent even outside of office hours!
Professor Tomovic was an amazing professor, and you can tell that he really cared about how his lectures impacted his students. He encouraged student interaction and included all his students in class discussions. He was very understanding about his students' personal obligations. Overall, he was a caring professor and I learned a lot from him.
Professor Tomovic really cares about his students. He doesn't care about assignment due dates because he realizes we all live busy lives. Every lecture contained open-ended questions that allowed for our feedback and our point of view on each situation or lecture topic. Loved taking his class! One of the best MAE professors on campus.
If you put in the work you will get an A (or close to it). I am lucky to have taken this class with professor Tomovic. Dynamics is one of those courses that can break you if your not careful.
This professor is passionate and an expert in the content he is presenting. The real world examples made the class worth taking. This particular course was writing heavy and math light, but that was expected from the course description.
easy A.
ENGT 305 is a very homework heavy class; just all reading material and practical application. The class is an easy A, and Dr. Tomovic was very helpful outside of class and was very flexible with due dates when I got behind since it was a 6-week course. Dr. Tomovic seemed to care a lot about his students and really wants them to learn and do well.
The class itself was difficult but he provided lectures for each topic so you didn't need to purchase the textbook and all quizzes and exams were straight from the notes and examples. If you ever had questions he quickly replies to emails/schedules a zoom meeting for further explanation. You get multiple attempts for homework, quizzes, and exams.
He gives examples that are very similar to the problems in the homework and exams.
I had a great experience in this class. Professor Tomovic gives clear expectations for each assignment. EVERY assignment can be attempted multiple times at home with open book/notes. He responds to emails promptly (within 24h), but he gives a LOT of (easy) assignments. As long as you do the work, you do fine, it's just a lot of work on your laptop.
Professor Tomovic is one of the nicest teachers I have ever had. His passion and experience in engineering make critical concepts a lot easier to understand. He teaches hard material but is very happy to help any student understand the material. Dynamics is not an easy course, but it is a course that is much easier with Professor Tomovic.
Good professor
The format of this class requires you to pay attention to the lectures and material given, but it gives multiple chances to prove your knowledge in the quizzes and tests. Dr. Tomovic is very understanding with dates and accessible outside of class. I would recommend Dr. Thomovic to anyone.
A bit abstract but well deserved parts of learning.
The professor has great handle on the material and ensures that the lessons align with both the homeworks and exams. I never felt like there were trick questions or new material being asked on the exams or homeworks. The pace of the class is manageable, even with a full time military career.
Professor Tomovic gives ample opportunity to do well and get good grades in the class through various forms of graded material.
Professor Tomovic is a knowledgeable man who encourages interaction and open communication to ensure an adequate learning experience, even outside of class.
Dr. Tomovic is the man for dynamics. His course is well laid out and very easy to navigate, there are no questions about grades at all. He does a great job of explaining the material in small chunks, with short quizzes on each piece. He is very accessible outside of class and will explain anything you need him to. Would love to take him again.
Professor Tomovic had a clear plan for the class and followed it, focused on making sure the material sinks-in, so if you are willing to put in work, he gives plenty of opportunities to get a good grade. Always answered promptly, and was a very reasonable and personable. Wish I would have had more engineering classes with him.
Very easy to follow class. Everything is posted at the beginning of the semester so you can work as fast as you want to. He gave 3% extra credit for doing the student opinion survey. Gives multiple attempts for quizzes, homework, and exams. There is a lot of homework but I finished the class in a month.
Thanks for the great training method
Took dynamics online with Dr. Tomovic. Lectures were very informative and easy to understand. Assignments were easy to complete if you payed attention and looked over all the resources provided.
Easy going porfesssor. He is flexible and all his assignments are easy.
Super easy going class, assignments were well laid out and the lectures were amazing the information was so easy to follow and absorb I have not had PowerPoints as useful as this professor has made them.
This is my 2nd time taking a class with Professor Tomovic. All of his classes are well organzied and easy to follow. Yes you still have to put the work and study the material for the homework and test, the organzation of proffessor Tomovic makes much easier to do that. I feel that professor Tomovic is there to support the support the students.
Took a online class, great material and the material given is all you need to complete homeworks, quizzes and exams with no problems
Great professor, all the materials you need are provided by the professor. Great explanations!!
Amazing professor at ODU. Lectures are very organized, examples show the problems you see on the tests so makes it easy to walk through on your own. Using MATLAB was fun and looking forward to using it on my own now with my professional career. Professor Tomovic responds quickly when emailed. I would 100% recommend taking any of his classes.
This is an excellent class. I've had several engineering classes with other professors that can't seem to put a well-planned class together. This is likely the smoothest engineering class I have ever taken. I would love to see the entire Engineering department set up like this course.
Excellent class with a well-planned curriculum. The professor's clear explanations and multiple attempts on assessments make the material manageable, even for busy students. Unstuck study was a helpful study tool alongside the textbook.
Attendance is not required or necessary for this class. This allowed me to work with other students during ‘class time' ,which was helpful not just for dynamics, but all my other classes. There is a lot of homework, and redoing a bunch of your work is a necessity, but the instructor gives a generous amount of attempts to get the correct answers.
This is one of the easiest professors on campus, his course is so easy to understand because it is well laid out online. The whole course is available besides exams at the start of the course.
Dr Mileta is a very relaxed professor. He's set up this class in a format that is done online at a pace set by the student. Although he won't budge the due dates of assignments, you have multiple attempts at every assignment to optimize grade performance. Not my cup of tea, I'd rather have in person lecture. But if you're okay with it, I recommend
Awesome professor with flexible course work
As long as you stay on top of your work you will be okay!
Professor Mileta is a great teacher. The class isn't too hard, but don't slack the due dates can and will sneak up on you. Homework is like the examples in class, and the exams are fair if you pay attention. Overall, you'd have to put in effort to fail his class, Make sure to ask questions if confused, and I'd definitely take another Mileta class.
Easy grader and not difficult to follow lectures.
Dr. Tomovic is a fantastic professor. He's easy-going and is extremely flexible. Highly recommend taking his classes, especially if you're working full-time while in grad school.
I really like that this professor tends to give partial credit or grade off effort. It mimics the real world. Many times, professors get lost in the world of academia and expect everything to be black and white. Real world engineering is far from that. I also like that this class doesn't require memorization. memorizing everything is just silly.
Really cooperative and will communicate with you if you reach out.
Overall an Outstanding Professor
Professor Tomovic's ENGT 305 asynchronous course has a lot of quizzes and homework but all the material you need to succeed in the class is provided. He answers emails promptly and is helpful when you ask questions. As long as you put in effort and meet the deadlines you'll pass the class. I would take another class with Professor Tomovic anytime.
3rd class with Dr. Tomovic and he really is the best. Easy to follow along with, grades very quickly, and responds to messages promptly. Very clear course outlines and he knows MATLAB very well. Would love to take more courses by him; he is definitely my favorite professor at ODU Engineering.
MATLAB is an amazing program. Simple and easy to use. I had never been exposed to that particular program before. I have very little coding experience and I was able to navigate through it with little to no struggle. The professor used their knowledge to help me perfect my skills with this program.
Professor Tomovic is an outstanding and highly knowledgeable instructor. his teacheang was clear explanations, organized lectures, and ability to connect theory with real-world engineering applications. I appreciate his patience, and dedication to student success. He is also supportive and genuinely passionate about teaching advanced manufacturing.
He is one of the best professor in ODU.
He is one of the best professor in ODU! his class is an easy A as long as you are keeping up with the work, if you fall behind it may be hard to catch up. I've taken two of his classes and i would take another if i had too.
Labs can be difficult even with weekly tutoring
Professor Mileta was fantastic, challenging, supportive, and always willing to help. The course was demanding and required real critical thinking and study time, but his clear explanations and dedication made the material engaging and rewarding. Truly an outstanding professor. You have to study for this class and practice.
Dr. Tomovic is a good teacher, and he cares about your well-being. He also shows concern when you are not submitting your work. Also, he puts everything you need to pass this class in the modules. The lectures are quizzes and some of the quizzes include problems that prepare you for the homework for each module. It also prepares you for the exams.
The clear well prepared lectures, good level of knowledge passed to the students.
Easy-going Professor. His classes are great. Easy to get an A grade.
