Heat treansfer is also a challenging class that is alot of work.  Willing to explain things you don't understand.  Tough exams but overall a fair grader.  Not too bad a lecturer either, very informative (even though heat transfer kinda sucks as a subject).  Knows his stuff for sure.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/927521","quality_rating":4.0,"difficulty_rating":4.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:18:34.963739+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTI5MjY3Mjcw","source_instructor_id":"rmp:1880112","instructor_name":"Michael Cheadle","course_label":"ME364","course_id":"ME 364","course_uid":"course_e943bbcb154c20d2c16a6792","review_date":"2017-12-18 22:23:02 +0000 UTC","comment":"Professor Cheadle is easily one of the most helpful professors I have ever had. Talking one on one with him is really helpful, and he will often answer your questions even if you don't know how to phrase them.

He really knows his stuff but he does talk and teach fast. Sometimes really fast. Overall though he is a nice guy. He has a pretty black & white rule about grading and not rounding up.

Not enough time for exams.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/1880112","quality_rating":3.0,"difficulty_rating":4.0}]
