Dr. Adamczyk was a great professor and caring overall. However, his class, ME 439, was extremely disorganized although its content was a lot of fun. I think it would have been easier for me if I had mastered Linux and ROS before taking this course. So again, the class was a lot of fun but it needs a lot of improvement organization-wise.Rate My Professors ↗
Good prof, but the way this class is set up is poor. You don't really get that great of a feel of the code from the classwork, but the mechanics is also not emphasized. If you want to learn the topic, the effort must come from you, OUTSIDE class. But still fun.Rate My Professors ↗
Simply the best Dynamics professor you could ask for. Explains everything very clearly, and makes lectures engaging. Don't get me wrong, the exams were brutal, but Adamczyk gives you the resources needed to succeed and the TA's were great too. If you have the chance, take Adamczyk, he makes this class bearable.Rate My Professors ↗
Professor Adamczyk teaches using lots of extended examples, which has both pros and cons. His tests were pretty difficult, but he is super into the subject and very accessible outside of class. Overall a solid professor.Rate My Professors ↗
This prof is engaging in lecture, and makes the difficult material relatable and fun to learn. The class is tough, but I would take it again with him in a heartbeat. If every professor was this engaging, I would love every class I took.Rate My Professors ↗
Professor Adamczyk is one of the best professors I have had in the College of Engineering. Of course the content is difficult, but he gives many opportunities to be successful (not just exams). He really makes the content come alive and relates concepts in class to current research. He's helpful with questions and is truly passionate about teachingRate My Professors ↗
