Tbh seems like a nice guy, just very boring lectures so eventually the majority of the class stops attending. The homework and assignments are the shared between the teachers I believe. His final, I don't know if it was shared, but it was completely a game of luck. |

The lectures can drag on a bit, especially if you take the 1:15 hr session of this class. However some parts of the lecture were pretty interesting as he was able to relate certain topics to his day job and real world applications outside of this course. The exams are lightning fast and I would run out of time and would end up having to skip a whole question and it's subparts on both the midterm and final. However, this is no fault of his own since the exams administered in ENME382 are created with the input of all the other professors teaching the course. The exams are not that difficult if you have a good equation sheet, and I was able to catch the average and more skipping entire questions. Overall, the man knows how to run a class. He didn't make the course any more difficult than it had to like other professors tend to do here at UMD. Being a Mech E, I won't see him again, but I would take another class with him if the opportunity presented itself. He was very approachable and respectful everytime I was one on one with him. Stay up, King🙏🤝. |

Avoid taking this class with Schwarm. He is not very good at teaching the content and skips over a lot of useful concepts during class. You will need to use the textbook to fully understand how to do the homework problems. He gives a lot of homework as well which is just time consuming and does not really reflect the difficulty of the exams. He designs the exams so that HE can finish it in 50 minutes. He makes excuses for his poor teaching by saying that he worked for the Navy. It does not make much sense at all. However, the course project is complete bs and no one really knows what is going on so everyone does well. Schwarm sucks, but the class is not tooooo horrible. Just read the textbook. |
