Dr. HP is the man. Sorry to the ME students below who said he was terrible for Vibes, but i don't think you guys are meant to be ME's then. Take HP for Vibes, he knows this stuff inside and out. I found his lectures to be over my head at times, but once I was caught up on the material, they were great and really solidified the material. I really liked his lecture style; he uses a tablet and provides you with note-outline printouts on blackboard. You bring them to class and then complete them during the lecture. They were very well structured and easy to look back on when studying. His tests were just fine if you read through the notes and book sections before the tests. You probably will be tricked on the first test like I was, but after that you'll be able to anticipate what kind of questions he'll ask based on his style. Unlike Locascio, who will force you to know the material using fear and other tactics, HP will force you to understand the material by challenging you. Trust me, you'll know your shit by the end of this class. He's also a funny guy and really helpful in office hours. I was pumped on Vibes by the end of the class, too bad i had Wu for controls next and she ruined that.
