His lectures are hard to follow because you can't really understand what he says and his handwriting on the board is terrible. However, he makes up for it by making typed notes accessible to students. These notes cover everything on the quizzes and most of everything you need to do the homework. For the rest, you can e-mail him and he'll get back to you promptly. You still have to go to class because he takes attendance but you don't have to pay attention (no one does). Make sure you study for the quizzes by reading the lecture notes and start your project early. Our group started the weekend before it was due and I had to put in over 15 hours of work on it alone. He says he doesn't curve but I ended up with a 82% but I still got an A. |

The second design course is a big step up in workload from the first course. The material is really interesting, but Dr. Palumbo's lectures are dry. I utilized his Word Documents to do the homeworks and mini-projects. The final project needs to be started in advance if you wanna do well on it. |

It's cool to get be taught a design course from a guy who has designed two big time aircraft being used today. His lectures are pretty dry, but the material itself can be pretty interesting. He does a good job breaking down the process of designing an aircraft, and I would definitely save his Word Document lectures. You can probably get away with starting his design project the week before finals, but I would definitely recommend starting it after Thanksgiving. The one mid-term we had was a take-home exam, but his 3 in class quizzes were sometimes difficult. Overall, a good professor. |
