STAY AWAY! AWFUL PROFESSOR, VERY BORING! If you want to have a miserable time with poor direction, then take this guy. He shouldn't even be considered faculty, absolute garbage! |

Dr. Duncan is a great professor for dynamics. His lectures are good (although a bit boring) and he is very open to questions during class. He is also extremely helpful during his office hours. My one complaint would be that he sometimes spent too much time trying to prove things rather than spend extra time on examples. |

Lectures were completely useless and nearly impossible to follow. Spends way too much time on derivations and does not like going through example problems. Fluids Mechanics overall is not too difficult of a class and the material makes sense more or less, so if these lectures were even a bit more effective, this class would be a lot easier. Duncan is a really nice person, but not a good teacher for 331. |

His lectures are pretty difficult to follow. Throughout the semester I generally had no idea what was going on in lecture. He spends the vast majority of time going over proofs and doing math, but he did very little to explain what any of it actually meant physically. |

Did not learn a single thing from lecture all semester long. All he does is perform complex derivations throughout the entire lecture, everyone looks around at each other wondering what on earth is going on. I like to joke with my friends that he just wants to see how many partial derivatives he can fit on the board at once. Don't take him. With regards to the class itself, it's not too bad you can look everything required from the homework. |

Good professor...just horrible course. Duncan is very open with his students offering major help and explanation during office hours. He is willing to push back tests or delete quizzes or even remove some homework problems. Great guy. |

I though Duncan was a pretty good professor overall. The class itself is just impossible though. |
