Winter 2024 - Professor Nordendale is one of the best instructors I've had the pleasure of taking a course from. He lectures well, with clear and organized slides. He gives plenty of examples and explains concepts thoroughly and concisely. His exams were extremely fair with no curveballs, and he prepared us well by giving plenty of review examples. Not that this is necessary, but I highly recommend watching Jeff Hanson's Statics and Mechanics videos to supplement your learning on the side. The videos go hand in hand with class content and helped reinforce topics for me. Great class taught by a great professor!

Spring 2026 - A legend. Gives homework and so many examples in class. On exams, there is no way there is a question on there that you haven't seen before. This class can get hard and overwhelming with all the equations being thrown around. Simplify your life and get rid of the part where you're worrying about what's going to be on the exam. Homeworks could be hard, but a lot of discussion help on the Bruinlearn discussions.
