Dr. Willie is one of the chillest professors I've ever had. A friend and I discussed exam answers with her directly after taking the exams. Beware of heavy Matlab content for labs, but otherwise a good course and a great professor.

Incredibly kind and caring towards students and really wants to foster learning. Tries to get to know students individually and schedules alternate hours if needed to answer questions. Class is difficult but she makes it so much easier. Exams are difficult but you feel prepared from lecture. One of the best teachers I have ever had!

Dr. Wille is amazing. She does the most to help her students. She makes biomechanics so interesting because you can tell how passionate she is. As long as you do the work, getting a good grade is not that hard. She will always make sure every question is answered, even if it means scheduling alternate hours. Tests can be tough but not unreasonable.
