Comment:

i believe dr. hunt is retiring this year. anyways, he was a really good at explaining how to do some of the homework questions that you didnt understand but his lectures are kinda boring. so i just read my textbook which was helpful. exams aren't too hard but, i got 2Bs and 1A on the exams and an A on the final.

Comment:

Don't listen to any reviews that said he's the worst teacher ever, they just didn't try hard enough. Dr. Hunt knows more about physics than anyone at ARC. To use an old cliche, he's tough but fair. Plus, the monkey test... that was awesome.

Comment:

This class was very hard and demanding but I managed to get a C. If you study, listen in class and attempt to work out the test problems you will pass. I had not taken a physics class since high school 27 years ago but managed to pass. Be sure to do your homework as this will help your grade. The tests are nothing like the homework so be ready.

Comment:

He is 1 of the nicest physics teachers on campus! I could NOT understand Physics no matter how hard I tried, but if you attempt test problems exactly the way he shows you, then you'll get good partial credit. I almost failed, but I passed with a B! HARD CLASS, but if you're good at Physics, you'll be fine! If not, maybe change your major? :(

DONT TAKE HIM TAKE SOMEONE ELSE. HIS LECTURES DONT MAKE SENSE HIS HOMEWORK IS OK. BEST ADVICE CHOOSE SOMEONE ELSE.

I would recommend him to anyone. Great teacher-- explains complex theories very well. Uses great examples and makes sure every student is following along. He is very goofy and has students' intrests as his top priority. Very knowledgable and makes learning fun with all the demos he uses.

Absolutely loved this class. Prof Hunt really knows what he is teaching and you wants to you to know it as well. He trys to keep you entertained with physics toys and experiements. I rec him to everyone. Exams are based on lecture topics and very similar to homework questions at the back of the book.

Professor Hunt is an extremely intelligent guy and a really fun teacher. He'll work with you as much as he can to make sure you get the grade that you want, but don't fool yourself into thinking that you can slack off and still get a good grade.

Took this class just to fill a requirement and found it to be really enjoyable. Even if u feel like u know nothing about his class he grades the test on such a huge curve. do the homework every night and kinda listen to lectures and bs the test and u can get a b. And he is such a nice smart guy unlike all the other egomaniac teachers.good teacher!

Absolutely wonderful professor. Loved his physics class. Lectures are very engaging and you get to play with lots of toys as activities. He understands and explains the subject very well. Very approachable; you can always discuss any questions you may have. 431 couldn't have possibly been better. I strongly recommend him.

The best and easy teacher that I've ever had. Lab is easy, it's a group lab 4 student each. He gives few extra credits. One exam at the end which is worth up to 20% of your grade. Definitely take him! you will be fine!

Comment:

science not my subject at all but still passed. do the homework and you get full credit. 3 exams and a final (=2 exams). he drops lowest test score. HUGE CURVE, 60-80% is a C and curves every exam as well. show up to the the important lectures (he lets you know which ones). also gives out extra credit. knows his stuff, ask him anything.

Professor Hunt is exceptionally brilliant, a great professor, and a good man. I'm a poly sci major and really enjoyed his class. If you're a poor student, you'll get by, but if you're a good student, you'll be engaged by his knowledge, experience, and enthusiasm.

Professor Hunt is an amazing teacher. He will help you out when ever you need it and explains things so that if you pay attention in class you will get an easy A on all the exams. Just paying attention in class I got 100 percent on all the tests. Plus he grades on a curve so it makes it a little more fair. Great Teacher!!!

Professor Hunt is an amazing teacher. I would recommend taking his physical science class. He makes it fun with tons of hands on experiments so that you get the material very easily. go to class and pay attention to the lectures. he bases most of his tests on the hands on material. Recommend this teacher 110 percent.

Comment:

He is a great teacher. A bit fast paced, but you get used to it. He is great person, too. I got a B, well deserved and proud of it, know more physics and am better prepared than most of my classmates that took the "easy teachers." Helped me when I continued to circuits and other classes. Great help in office. Exams are very fair. Recommended!
