My professor is very understanding and passionate about how he teaches. I really like the way he teaches. The very first day, I introduced myself to him, because I want to make that a habit. I told him about my mental health. He listened and simply stated, &#8220;I hope you feel comfortable in this class.&#8221; Not only that, but whenever somebody asks a question, he answers it thoroughly. <em>This<\/em> professor goes in depth and tries to answer everything concisely, so I&#8217;m not afraid to ask a question in class. He usually writes on the board. He has his own website where he posts certain things and programs some simulations for us to use. That&#8217;s really fun. Just being able to see some of these concepts. He has so much energy in every class that its contagious and makes me interested because he&#8217;s doing it in such an interesting way. Every time I go into the class, I feel engaged. I don&#8217;t feel like I&#8217;m just writing down stuff to write down. When I have a homework assignment from him, I can get through it and learning something really important for me. The other two classes I have are mostly math-based. I have Engineering Economics, which is interesting with a lot of math. I have Differential Equations. It&#8217;s my second favorite just because I have a good study group. I&#8217;m excited to work through those problems, just because I have a group that I can share it with. I feel like I understand Diff Eqau more than Econ at this point, even though I felt like at the beginning of this semester it was going to be the opposite.<\/p>\n<p>[241-251] There&#8217;s this one person who I&#8217;ve been studying with since my freshman year. We&#8217;re more than just study partners. We&#8217;re really good friends. Spending time with them is fun. It&#8217;s also easy to study with them because I know them. Getting a study group together is hard because it&#8217;s about establishing a time and place, scheduling, and all the logistical stuff. I also have my girlfriend in the class, so I can study with the both of them and overall it&#8217;s during that time it&#8217;s fun and it feels easier to me to express my ideas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[206-220; 224-237] For the rest of my classes, I have Mechanical Engineering Dynamics.
