Gold[MECE E3100] Introduction to Mechanics of Fluids
Departments: Mechanical Engineering
Professors: Daniel Attinger and Jung-Chi Liao
As I write reviews, this school just makes me wanna cry. Liao is a terrible teacher. I heard that he thought this was a "weed-out" class until we finished the 2nd mid-term. After this he realized this wasn't a weed-out class and he "calmed down." In class he mainly goes over derivations (which are useless for the tests/anything) and a few examples. He's a typical wanna-be hard-ass teacher. It's worthless to go to class, over half the class didn't go to lecture after the first few classes and I deeply regret going to them. It's better to go over the stuff on your own. The final was bat-shit crazy and though he curved, i dont think he curved as nicely as he should have.
summary: he's a guy who knows his stuff, but his teaching is the typical piece of crap style where you dont learn anything. Didn't curve enough. Everyone hates him.
like 11 or 12 homeworks (worth 10 percent of the grade) one mid term (worth 25 pcnt) another mid term (worth 30 pcnt) and the rest is the final. Curve isn't very generous at all.

Attinger, Daniel 
[MECE E3100] Introduction to Mechanics of Fluids
1. funny. the man can be a stand-up comedian.
2. could be a douche at times. he likes to pick on people.
3. great professor in terms of getting the concepts across clearly and concisely
4. class content is hard, and he curves to a b-/b
5. the midterms, graded by the TAs, are very harsh. make sure you know your stuff and write all your assumptions.
2 midterms (20%/30%), final (45%), weekly hw (5%). do your hw. they're harder than the exam problems, which are very fair and hw based, but it's the best way to prepare. he puts 1 hw problem on every exam, so study all the solutions.
