David Bigio ENME466 Expecting an A- Terpstine 05/27/2022	This is single handedly the worst professor I have ever encountered in my time at University of Maryland. I wish there was an option for ZERO stars. Do not take this professor. First of all, this is the most disorganized course I have ever taken. This course is a horrible reflection on the teaching performance of the University of Maryland as a whole. The professor goes on random tangents and does not prepare lectures at all. He will pull up a set of slides (if his computer works), loosely talk about them for a few minutes, then veer away from the slides into a rambling heap of non-sensible Lean Six Sigma projects he has completed in the past. This course involves a semester long lean six sigma project. Unfortunately, these projects were a HUGE stretch as relating to lean six sigma. My project was closer to an English project than anything else. It was extremely disappointing and a huge waste of time for everyone involved.
David Bigio ENME466 Expecting a B+ Anonymous 05/02/2022	This class is useful and you definitely get real-world experience through the class project, but imo it isn't worth dealing with Dr. Bigio. He does not grade based on your performance, just based on his opinion of you. Now, this wasn't a huge issue for me grade wise because I was on his good side, but if you do anything to annoy him he will not give you a good grade. Also, he expects you to spend way more time outside of class working than should be expected of a 3 credit elective. Overall, he is inappropriate in his grading and dealings with students, I would not recommend taking this class unless you are prepared to be frustrated by him every class.
David Bigio ENME466 Dasboot 02/19/2015	Don't take ENME466. The project was a huge pain in the ass, and nobody cares if you have a Six Sigma Certificate. It's not worth it.
