Reviews for Jeffery B. Klauda
Average Rating:| Anonymous Course: ENCH400 Grade Expected: C February 20, 2012, 4:10 pm | Best advice for Klauda... sit in front of the class, pay very close attention, write everything down. Especially the examples. In fact, if you write nothing else down, write down the examples. He's very hard to pay attention to because he talks so quietly and quickly, and sometimes it makes no sense how he gets from one equation to the next. The textbook helps a lot, but he'll do derivations that aren't in the book, or describe things in ways that aren't stated in the book. So it's really only a supplement to his lectures. DO the homeworks. DONT miss quizzes. His tests aren't so bad. There's also a group project towards the end. My honest opinion of him... he's a relatively nice guy, and he's pretty available to meet if you have any questions. Just don't expect to become buds. |

Often it is not clear why methods of analysis proceed the way they do, or are applied the way they are so both statistical and organizational skills are needed to succeed and make sense of the formulas. So its really up to you to adsorb the methods and and make all the math mean something. His notes are largely a summary from the book, which is well chosen. His notes correspond so well to the book that often, you can go back and read the book if you had trouble in lecture. He uses so much Minitab for statistical analysis that you get the feeling he may have shares in Minitab software. Anyway, its the only class in which we learn about how to assess the statistical significance of quality control tests - so its a must take if you're serious about engineering. |

Hearing his voice, you'll fall asleep instantly, He Pretty much writes equations from the book and writes it on the board, so lectures are completely useless. His quizzes are ridiculously annoying. As a person, he's ok, really quiet. I think the reason why he hasn't been fired is because he does good research, but if it wasn't for that he would have been gone. |
