This course sucked. I just could not connect with the way that Travis was trying to teach. Id say that 75% of the examples that we used in class, were nothing like the homework, quizes, or exams. Which would leave you hopeless and clinging on for life while you scribble some random stuff down on your exam page.

The ISU page says: Vector analysis; analysis of force systems; resultant in two and three dimensions; free-body diagrams; equilibrium; analysis of trusses, frames, and machines; friction, belts and pulleys; shear and bending moment in beams, centroid and center of mass; second moments of areas. But let me translate: Your going to look at some lines on a piece of paper, and stuggle to visualize them in a 3D space, and look at bridges while trying to find the forge of gravity on it. As well as any other random forces i want to throw in there to make you even more confused then a drunk man at waffle house @ 2 in the morning.

He was a really nice guy; nothing wrong with him. I just stuggled to learn with his teaching style.

Get. A. Tutor. And. Do. Homework. ASAP. If you procrastinate, you are cooked.

This was a very very very hard class. Going from a community college to this was a real big wake up call. This class was the second hardest class ive had to take here at ISU. The teacher I liked, and as long as you actually tried in class, showed up, you will be alright. A lot of people dont seem to like this prof, but I think its because they dont try or care. What I like with Wibowo is he stops class when he has an example, and gives you the time to work through each step on your own, instead of just saying, "oh do this, then this then this and here is your answer." He will ask the class, "what should we do?" Then will write out what equation you should use, then we have to go and plug in the values and such. I found this process to be alot more useful.

I liked him a lot. Nice guy, likes when you ask questions and for help. Don't be afraid to say, "Im not sure how to do this." He will like the honesty, and will help you out.

If you can get a tutor from day 1, do it. It will be a great review tool to use.
