The class is pretty useless unless you want to go into concrete design. The materials were still fun, and you got to create concrete and take it home with you.

You will learn about the contents of concrete and ways to reinforce it. You will also learn about steel briefly.

The professor is really fun and relaxed. He will throw in trick questions on his exams sometimes. Often, his exams will include concepts he only briefly mentions in class, so it is important to write down EVERYTHING! He does record his lectures too.

Pay attention to the lectures because the exams are based on his lectures, not the actual material. Also, make sure you do not have any classes directly after his lab because they will go over by about 30 minutes to a few hours.

The class is useful if you are planning to be an aerospace, mechanical, or architectural engineer. However, if you are not, then it is a waste of time and energy. The class is unnecessarily hard, and the in-class examples/homework rarely reflect the actual exam.

The course is mostly kinematics with a focus on aerospace and mechanical applications. You will learn the different forces acting on someone in a plane, the velocity of projectiles, and the forces on overcomplicated door hinges.

The professor made the class very boring with his monotone tone. He rarely knew what he was teaching and could not solve the practice problems without reviewing his notes. I would not recommend taking a dynamics class with him.

I would have switched teachers or waited until Professor Bagget teaches the class. If you are good at kinematics, then you will do great!
