He just seems to know so much about all areas of physics and engineering. The problem is this guy is built for grad students. Do not get him as a TA for 370. Other sections had normal TA's and would give bi-weekly presentations. Those would last 20-40mins max.

His ability to clearly and concisely convey difficult topics is phenomenal. He expects a lot out of you, but that is the nature of ME370 -- the capstone ME lab course. If you wanted an easy last semester, tough luck, this class is hard.
