Comment:

Took his class for physics minor. Obviously very passionate and loves what he does. His lectures can be hard to follow, but if you follow his notes online, it will be more clear. Don't be afraid to ask him questions after class if you don't understand his lecture, because he will be more than glad to clarify. Very willing to give deserving grades.

Comment:

Horrible professor. Never was able to bring his level of expertise down to a student level. Examples were close to none essentially causing us to learn the whole course on our own. Pleasd help yourself by not signing up for his classes. Really lacks the intent to want to help students.

Boring lectures but really nice guy. He wants the students to succeed but cannot relate to them. Not really accessible in office hours but the best way to pass this class is to use the study materials he will post online.

Comment:

This guy is by far one of the worst physics professors for this class. All he does in class is talk about his life stories and goes over the examples like he's talking to another physics professor. Be prepared to basically learn the stuff yourself cause he does not go over it well at all. He puts almost nothing on tests that we went over in class.

Comment:

AWFUL. He would write stuff on the board and then not explain anything and talk about how the non-physics students were going to change the world with physics. Be prepared to fail the class or go to another professor's office hours. He made up a midterm in the middle of the semester and the class average was below a 50%.

Comment:

He is a hard teacher and he really doesn't teach things to well. he will often get carried away on some random story and forget to teach all the material. I would say that he does care about our class and he defiantly is motivational. His tests are really hard be prepared to fail them. I love him as a person not much as a teacher.

Comment:

His class isn't the easiest but it wasn't the hardest class I've taken. I ended up getting a B but that was through hard work on the homework and tests. His tests are on the harder side; the average test grades are usually in the 60-70 range. He is pretty funny and he loves motivating his students. If you aren't failing the class, you'll enjoy it.

Comment:

I feel that the professor genuinely wants to see his students succeed. Every question you see on the test, you will have seen on homework. He kept telling us to "memorize the equations, practice the example problems, then tackle homework". If you do those 3 things, you will do just fine in the class! However, there is a good amount of homework.

Comment:

Avoid taking this teacher. He's extremely difficult and makes things harder then they need to be. He writes a lot of equations on the board without really explaining them. He moves on to the next topic even when the whole class is confused. 5 out of 30 people passed with a C or higher in my class. Choose another professor!

Comment:

He's a decent physics teacher. If physics/ math comes in any way naturally to you, take him. If you do the work and go to his office hours you will learn a lot. If you want an easy A, don't take him. His tests are hard. His motto is 'practice harder problems so the test seems easy'. The method works but the homework sucks! You must want to learn.

Comment:

Absolutely the worst teacher ever! I took him because he scored 3.9 here...BAD IDEA. He is not helpful, he gives quizzes almost every class, and 4-5 hour tests that have impossible questions. He doesnt teach out of our textbook because he says its an abomination to American society. I might lose my scholarship and have to leave because of him...

His tells you ever problem about the test before the test! VERY HELPFUL! You can approach him anytime and ask a question. One time I saw him at Starbucks and he helped me with the homework he had just assigned!

Comment:

Extremely difficult class. Hes the best of the ones that teach it but not very good. Does examples on the board before going over the equations so its easy to get lost. He gives out optional worksheets that have the same questions that are one the tests. Very helpful at office hours. Test averages are close to 60%. Learn the basics before taking!

Comment:

I highly don't recommend anyone taking him unless you have previous experience with Physics and you are taking Calculus 2 or 3. He teaches a lot of things like it is a review, so it is a very hard course if you are a freshman. He expects you to spend 2 hours a day to study Physics. Also, don't take Calculus with Physics. Bad combo.

He wrote his own textbook so you don't have to buy one. If you just memorize the formulas, his quizzes and tests are easy. Drops the lowest homework, quiz and test. If you don't try, you'll fail. Good guy and wants the best. Wicked smart.

Awesome teacher he is very helpful always there to help you pass. Has great examples even though sometimes he skips steps cause your already supposed to know but more than willing to go back and explain if your confused. The best physics professor I have seen yet. Take if possible. Takes time to help to

Comment:

He'd rather talk about the text book he's writing and everything that's wrong with the world and than teach the class. When he does decide to teach, there is no doubt the guy is smart, but he can't explain anything well. If you ask him for help he'll just tell you to look it over on your own. Curves nicely at the end, but not worth it.

2 ways to score in his class. Pay attention during lessons and work hard in your spare time. Extremely helpful if you bother to consult him during office hours.
