Kris was amazing. I had him for hand-drafting, which was somewhat of a challenging course since I had never done it before. He would stay with me even after everyone left to make sure I understood the material. He really wants to make sure everyone gets it, and basically grades on effort. Even though he's only a grad student, he was one of the best professors I've had at Cal Poly.

This guy really knows his stuff, and he obviously enjoys taking time to get to know his students. If you have the opportunity to take him, I highly recommend it, but only if you're not an idiot because he will single you out for sure.

What a boring teacher. Take Alex Powers instead.

Only responds to "Dr. Lawrence". Definitely knows everything about Solid works and cares a lot about his students. Very confident in his own teaching prowess, but his confidence is well deserved.

Excellent teacher. He's a grad student but knows more about Solidworks than any professor I've had. He's a great guy, strongly recommend

I'd highly recommend taking Kris. He was extremely helpful during class and office hours. He was a smart guy and did a good job of making sure everyone truly understood the material and always recognized when the class was having difficulty. He gave quality real-world advice and had a great sense of humor. I always looked forward to going to this class every week. He is BY FAR the best grad student on the market.

During this entire quarter all I could think about was how this professor reminded me of that small little dog that runs through the back of scene 23 in The Incredibles by Pixar. Seriously, if you look it up you will only be able to see it...

Tyler is happy to have taken the Intermediate Dynamics activity with Kris. Tyler heard a lot of horrible things about this activity but Kris made it virtually stress free. Tyler gives Kris a 10/10.

Amazing TA. This is the person you want for matlab. Too bad it might be his last quarter here though.

Dr. Lawrence was the man. Great in office hours and always readily available to help. Was always excited to see his students succeed. Too bad his brownie addiction did him. #loveisasham2k16.
