The best aspects of this course included the homework assignments that prepared the students for the exams and the comprehensible way the instructor conveyed the concept. The textbook was concise and relevant to the lectures, and the class was well-structured. Some students felt the assignments were graded too harshly. Students also felt the homework questions were often too ambiguous. Suggestions included incorporating more review sessions, lightening the out-of-class workload, and providing more physical demonstrations of the material. Prospective students should have a good grasp of calculus and should attend al lectures to be successful in the course.

This course gave students a wonderful introduction to dynamic systems. Quizzes and practice questions reinforced learning and also prepared students for assignments. The textbook was also helpful, and the professor followed it. The course was organized, and homework and exams were grade and returned in a timely manner. But students complained about the professor being difficult to understand and his teaching style. Classes were also disjointed, and attendance was required for pop quizzes. Suggestions for improvement include: a new professor, changing this course to 4 credits, original problems not from the book, more labs, and removing the mandatory lecture policy. Prospective students should be able to attend every lecture.

The best aspects of the course included the manageable workload, interesting labs, and the incorporation of previously learned concepts. Students found the course to be disorganized without clear expectations. Many students found the course material to be repetitive and not chal enging. Suggestions for improvement included assigning practice problem sets with solutions more consistently, returning graded assignments in a timelier manner, having scheduled labs in the curriculum, and providing review sessions before exams. Students also suggested combining the course with Mechanics. Prospective students with a background in physics and mechanics wil find the course load manageable. Students should dedicate more time outside of class as the material becomes more challenging.
