Professor Pindera is okay. He works out examples on the board, but his lecture notes consist solely of the examples (not worked out btw, just the picture taken from the textbook). He goes over these problems in great detail though, so as long as you review the chapter beforehand to actually learn the content, you can pretty easily follow along. This class is difficult because it goes from “super easy, basically just Physics 1 again” to “counter intuitive at every turn and hella confusing” very very quickly. I never got the hang of his office hours, but I suggest you go if you have any questions. And speak up in class. He prefers class participation, even stupid questions. The tests are short but difficult, so doing a TON of practice problems from the textbook is the way to go.

If you have to take Statics, I definitely recommend Pindera. He explains the concepts well and is overall a good teacher.

Professor Pindera's the man. Just study your HW and textbook before each exam and you're gucci.

Pindera is a really nice guy and wants students to succeed, but I didn't think he was that great of a teacher. Unfortunately he takes attendance. This class is very repetitive and literally everything (lectures, homework, quizzes, and tests) comes from the textbook, so it's easy to do well even if you don't pay attention in class. Overall a decent class.

Everything about this class comes from problems in the book. The homework, quizzes, and tests are all directly taken from those chapters, and if you do practice problems (especially look over the practice tests!) you'll be fine. The lectures move a little fast sometimes, but office hours make up for that. Pindera's a great teacher, too

His lectures consist of only problems from the textbook, but he takes attendance. His lecture is problems from textbook, HW is problems from textbook, group quiz is problems from the textbook, and tests are problems from textbook. He isn't a great professor, but the problems are all super repetitive so once you get it, you're good for the rest of the semester. He tells you what will be on the tests which makes them really easy, but lectures are insanely boring.

Pindera excels as a professor. Very talented, Pindera does a good job teaching. Go to office hours where he really empowers students. English is adequate. He is very willing to stop in the middle of class and explain anything you do not understand.

Pindera is an amazing guy. Class isn't that important to attend, but statics is a great subject. Test questions are right out of the book. Study the homework and you'll do well

work hard from the beginning since the techniques you learn at the beginning are really important to do well in this course and the next ones

Very easy class if you just pay attention during lectures and do the HW. Exams are just 4 or 5 problems taken from the book and one is usually extra credit. Pindera is the man.
