Bonazza is amazing. He very clearly explains everything from first principles, his homework expands on the concepts in lecture, and his exams are beautifully written to tie everything together. He was very available, and I never felt that he wasted a minute of my time in lecture or office hours. Highly recommend him for as many classes as possible.Rate My Professors ↗
One of the top three professors I have had at UW-Madison. Cares about both the class material and his students very much. Clear lectures, helpful homework, and good feedback on assignments.Rate My Professors ↗
May just be the best teacher that I've ever had. Lays out the concepts crystal clear and seamlessly brings together each chapter that was covered. He is a great, charismatic person, and you can really tell that he cares about you learning the material. I wish he taught all of my classes.Rate My Professors ↗
What can I say? This guy just rules. His aerodynamics class was the best structured course I ever took. It's true what was said that the course really tells a coherent story from the first lecture to the last. Plus, He's one of the funniest professors I've ever had. He's one of the best.Rate My Professors ↗
Tough class, but best professor I've ever had!Rate My Professors ↗
I have never seen anyone who makes Aerodynamics more beautiful than him. Attendance is mandatory. Exams are very tough. Bonazza started telling a story which began in the first lecture and ended in the last. Every bit of his notes from every class is useful. Highly Recommended if you are interested in Aerodynamics.Rate My Professors ↗
