MAE 2300

Professor Berger is probably the best teacher I have ever had. He really cares about his students (so much so that he lets the students decide how many midterm exams (2 vs 3) and when to take the exams). The material is obviously not cake, but if you put in a little extra effort to go to office hours and understand the concepts of the hw problems then you'll come out with a good grade. He uploads podcasts of each section/topic (about 30 min. a piece) and breaks the material down into incredibly simple, easy-to-remember steps... so take the time and you will completely understand the material!

Tests are straight-forward and he'll never throw any curveballs at you. He also lets you use an 8.5"x11" cheat sheet to write down formulas, examples, etc.

As a good friend once said: "Professor Berger could teach statics to a 3 year old"

Prof. Berger has an excellent method of teaching with incorporating technology. This semester, he's been so busy with being a Dean that he's been very slow at returning quizzes and tests. But overall, I would highly recommend taking Prof. Berger.

This class is very boring and basically consists of doing 3 homework problems before every class. You teach yourself from the book and most of the material makes sense. Berger is not the best teacher and doesn't really care about this class but its a required class for MechE and overall isn't too tough.

Class is boring for the first half of the semester. It gets pretty challenging in the latter half. Can get away with missing class for the first 4 weeks (but do the HW!), but not after that...

very fair grader. he uses a lot of technology, sometimes it seems like he does too much and it doesn't help, but the video solutions online are extremely helpful.

Berger is a great statics teacher. His teaching style is very easy to get used to and learn from.

Great class

Berger is a great lecturer who thoroughly guides you through the problem-solving process of statics. If you do the homework, go to lectures, and go to the one of many office hour sessions available, you should easily get an A.

A pretty simple course. If you don't like it, you probably shouldn't be majoring in mechanical/aerospace engineering. Berger is a solid professor but goes through the material pretty slowly.

Berger is a great professor. He leaves lots of time for practice problems during class that then helps with the homework. He does move through material pretty slowly, but it was still an enjoyable class.
