EMA 202
Quality 4/5Difficulty 5/5
I tried to balance family time, undergraduate research, and E M A 202 during the summer. Lectures are generally good; homework isn't too bad if you get the help you need. I wasn't prepared for midterm 1, average score for was 77%. Final exam was hard. Dedicated time to this class.

*Summer Semester review* Great Professor. However, don't get caught off guard thinking the exams will be as easy as the hw. You'll need to spend time on practice problems to get a 'complete understanding'. Very generous on partial credit. I'd watch the lectures and read the example problems in the book since those help a lot!

I struggled in this class lol but not because of him... Probably only reason I passed. He is well spoken and simplifies content well through his examples. One of my favorite ME professors so far.

Sonny is a pretty chill professor, and does a good job of engaging his students. Dynamics has a pretty steep learning curve, but once you get the hang of it its not too bad

He literally laughed and told us we were dead when explaining what our exam was like. He doesn't try to make the exams fair, he wants to ensure that you can only do well on the exam if you do extensive outside of class practice problems. Exams are most of the grade, yet nothing in the course really prepares you for them.
