Comment:
He may make things complicated during his lectures, but he is just trying to get everyone to understand the concept. I like his attitude against simply memorizing. He is EXTREMELY willing to help anyone after class for literally AS LONG as it takes.

Comment:
Like any other science or math class, physics is a course that many find challenging. Of course, it will be xtra hard if u dont prepare b4hand or review afterhand. So quit complaining, naggers! Prof. B.W. makes it interesting, fun,& possible to comprehend (he's helpful). Be responsible and dont be lazy, coz u make ur own grade; he just writes it!

Physics genius, knows his stuff well, I absolutely loved going to his class, makes it fun and interesting, he's very funny and charming, I think I fell in love with him in the process. Awesome guy and very helpful, but seriously no one in the class understands what he's talking about, completely incomprehensible! Gives a big curve though! Take him!

Comment:
Avoid Professor Whitecotton. He is a very nice and passionate teacher about the subject. But he did not adequately prepare the class. Very confusing. The whole class failed the test and he bailed us out with a big curve twice. The whole class seemed lost and confused. You may get a decent grade but you won't understand anything at the end.

Comment:
whitecotton sucks as a teacher..he teaches so fast that you can barely keep up with his lectures. the examples he does in class are useless since similar one don't show up on exams. Doing hw is a waste of time, since similar problems don't show up on exams either..so basically you're stuck teaching physics to yourself..

I hate physics before taking his class. He is so laid back and fun, I always look forward to attending his class and labs. He really knows his stuff so when he explains things I actually get it! Everyone knows he is awesome so make sure you register early for his class, spaces are going to fill up!

Comment:
He a cool guy. REALLY knows his stuff. Does a lot of theory and derivations. Something I have noticed is no examples in class so doing the h/w is a must. He is helpful if you ask him and has a lot of physics stories. labs are fun and USUALLY painless. If you don't mind learning a bit on your own take him

he is the best science course teacher i have ever had. He makes physics such an interesting subject,not boring. some parts of the tests are take-home. easy and fun labs. Do the problems and you will get an A or B for sure. if you got to take physics, take with him!

He's very ethusiastic and funny. Not available much for face-to-face help,too busy.He does try to make time, and doesnt throw questions on the tests that havent been covered.The trick is to do the book homework too, he'll test right out of it.

Awesome teacher, energetic..Takehome tests are no myth. If you can get away w/o taking the higher physics, this is almost painless. He is also great on theory. Classes are packed from Grossmont students crashing over here, that sucks

He is awesome! I loved taking his class because he is entertaining, funny, and very knowledgeable in the field of Physics! He also has a way of translating every concept into a "reallife" aspect making it easier to understand! He is by far my

He teaches class with his own way. Labs are easy and fun. Parts of the tests are take-home. You try hard and will get an A premed8@hotmail Do homework, turn in assigments on time and you'll be fine. Sometimes talking too fast.

Great person, teaches in his own style, goes off track during lecture, sometimes confusing, the book sux... Just remember, physics is hard work! Always ask him for help, and you should be ok.
