Student review (2026-10-21): Mathew is just a terrible lecturer. . .
On Reddit: "This might seem a little blunt, but, as someone who's now in 4th year Engineering ... those are really really fundamental math courses. Even if you get your waiver, you're going to really struggle to proceed without a really solid understanding of them. I've taken AMME2500, and,…"
On Reddit: "Do practice problems from whichever the reference book was (meriam and kraige? Its been years i forgot) In terms of mechanics related units, yea imo AMME2500 and AMME2301 are prolly both harder. The AMME1802 stuff is hard because its your first time but the statics principles he…"
