Professor Suh is, overall, a teacher with a unique teaching style.
Suh teaches basic principals and doesn't use the book for the first two months of the class. He is an easy grader.
Suh doesn't assign homework problems for the first two months of the class, but gives lab exercises that are due the same day.
Suh assigns homework that is not time consuming for the last month of class.
The Engineering Drawings book is required and is used frequently in class during the last month of the class.
