Reviews for Chandrasekhar Thamire
Average Rating:| kvizzle321 Course: ENME371 Grade Expected: A- January 2, 2012, 1:44 pm | The most important required ME class in my opinion. Thamire should be teaching this class forever, because he does a great job. Also i was SURE that i had a B+ in the class but managed to get an A, despite him saying that there is no curve in the class, he tends to bump you up if you are really close. |

He is incredibly intelligent, helpful and fair. He will work you hard but you'll learn alot. Oh, and the elephants that he draws are hilarious. Be warned, ENME371 is an incredibly demanding class, it's more like a 6 credit class. It's not necessarily hard, just time consuming and the reports can be somewhat tedious. Make sure you get a section leader who's there for you and fair. I have nothing against Dr. Das personally but he's far too occupied in other things to be a section leader for this class. His grading was largely unclear, unfair, and took FAR too long. The report and presentation grades for other sections were far higher... bear in mind that this class is not curved. |

I would recommend him over and over to anyone looking to take his class. I wish he taught the lab portions of the class as well because he straight up front helps you with ANYTHING you can think of. He even will adjust the class schedule with what is going on in other classes during the semester. Hands down my favorite professor ever!!! |
| mikhail Course: ENES221 Grade Expected: A August 10, 2010, 9:50 am | If I had a choice between Kiger, Sandborn and Thamire I would definitely choose Dr. Thamire. The reason Thamire is the best is because he genuinely strives to help his students not only to learn the material, but ASLO to get a good grade in the class. Show him that you care about the class, and he will help you! |
| Anonymous Course: ENES221 Grade Expected: A- January 25, 2010, 5:27 pm | Dr. Thamire is a really nice, approachable guy and a good teacher. Dynamics is a difficult class, but if you keep up with the homework it is manageable. He really cares about his students and wants them to do well, and even though he says he doesn't curve, there are a number of extra credit opportunities that raise your grade just as much. I recommend going to Keystone for this class, I would not have survived without it. |
| jhaan Course: ENME371 Grade Expected: A December 20, 2009, 12:05 pm | The class is not hard, per se, but is extremely money and time intensive. You will find that 3-4 times during the semester you will be pulling all nighters to get papers done on time, or spending a large amount of time studying for quizzes on material that was briefly mentioned in class, never to be seen again. The review for the final was also lengthy, covering the majority of the 800 page textbook. The benefit of all this? You WILL be rewarded for all of your hard work. He grades quite generously and gives several opportunities to fix mistakes. Extra credit quizzes are nice too. The material was sort of iffy for me, but the design project was rewarding in the end. Good guy, good teacher. As an extra note, if you have the choice, get Thamire as your section teacher and not Aris Cleanthous. Aris knows what he is talking about and is knowledgeable, but is difficult to get a hold of and imposes his own arbitrary limitations to reports than what Thamire does. For example, on a Design for X presentation, Thamire's section only had to do a report on a single part, while Aris required two parts to do. The end result being each team rushed through the presentation and went well over the time limit. Not fun. |
| terp315 Course: ENES221 Grade Expected: December 19, 2009, 5:52 pm | Dr. Thamire was a really nice professor and I'm really glad I had him for dynamics. Dynamics is a pretty tough course and the homeworks can be time-consuming. Yet both exams and the final were relatively easy, just make sure to go to the reviews beforehand. Dr. Thamire really wants everybody to do well and as a result gave a bunch of extra credit. At the end of the year we took a 15 point extra credit quiz that nearly everybody got a 100% on. Then, he doubled that to 30 points and added it to our exam scores. I highly recommend taking Thamire for 221. |
| jwong89 Course: ENES102 Grade Expected: B April 19, 2009, 9:54 pm | Good professor, knows and teaches the material well. Extremely nice guy, easy to talk to if you have any questions in or out of lecture. Exams were fair, not my favorite, but not really hard either. Take him if you want to get through ENES102 without hating the class at the end. |
| kmk Course: ENES102 Grade Expected: A- December 30, 2008, 7:58 pm | Dr. Thamire is a great statics instructor. He really knows the material well, and makes himself very available if you have any out-of-class questions. Also, lots of opportunity for extra credit in his class. |
| Anonymous Course: ENES221 Grade Expected: B December 19, 2008, 9:08 pm | He's a really nice teacher. He wants you to understand the material and genuinely wants you to get a good grade. |
| Anonymous Course: ENES102 Grade Expected: May 19, 2008, 3:11 pm | Decent professor, he does his best to try and make you understand the material. Lectures were really really really really boring. I hated discussions because the questions were always too difficult to answer. His teaching style kind of got sloppy towards the end of the semester. And he does other little stupid things that I didn't like. I suggest try getting a professor like Beigel but if you end up with Thamire, it won't be too bad. |
| a778999 Course: ENES102 Grade Expected: A+ December 6, 2007, 11:04 pm | By far the easiest statics teacher. He will love you as long as you appear to try hard. His voice can put you to sleep though. Hope you get this guy for ENES102. |
