Comment:

Worst professor ever. He talks on and on. Most students in his classes can't follow his work. If you thought you were somewhat okay with physics well this man will destroy all interest and hope you have. Good thing he was fired by the RIT administration

Comment:

I would sooner quit RIT than take another one of his courses. He babbles on and on about the part of the material we understand and he never solves any problems in class with numbers he uses letters to make a long equation and plugs some numbers that he he comes up with in and gets an answer. He completely ignores the math aspect of physics.

Avoid at all costs. This is one of the most horrendous professors at RIT. His tests are way too hard and the way he teaches does not prepare you for them.

Comment:

He's an OK guy, and knows his physics. On the other hand, he can't really teach it well, and its usually very hard to stay focused through 2 straight hours of physics. Anyways, my vote goes for not having him as a professor (and my previous teacher for AP Physics was just as dry, but could at least get some more things across)

Comment:

very hard to follow. class is survivable if and only if he decides that enough people are doing poorly for there to be a curve. nice guy great at physics but cant teach. He knows the concepts so well that he doesn't understand how other people can have a hard time. physics background required for you to survive. DO NOT TAKE!!!

Comment:

He's nice but he can't teach. He rambles and mumbles. Hard to follow, I usual zone out for the entire class and then teach myself the stuff later form the book. Mastering phys will have stuff you havent gone over in class. He wont explain how to do problems that no one gets on the HW. Takes off random pts on assignments but the class is survivable

Comment:

Further confuses students when they ask sinple questions, feels the need to go through the entire process and often is slightly different than how the student tried to do it. Not very understanding if you can't make a class (winter quarter..bad weather and class at 8am..bad mix!)

Every week he assigns online quizzes on things that have not been taught in class. We do labs on things that are not on the tests.

Nice guy overall, but he is too damn intelligent for any student's knowledge. His lectures are boring, but if you go to office hours, you will know everything for webassign and exams.

he's not too good at teaching. however, he has plenty of office hours when you need help. a fairly nice guy but rambles most of the time. knows his physics, just not too great at teaching it.

Comment:

the prof knows his stuff. the first two weeks of school you will have no idea what he is talking about, but he offers extra help during his office hours. if you dont go to his office hours you will fail the test that he gives. his sense of humor is funny and he is always willing to help. the lectures suck, but office hours will be your luck to pass

Comment:

Is always willing to help you, but in doing so, he'll confuse you more. He makes analogies for everything even when they don't need them and it is impossible to ask him a Yes or No quesiton!!! His voice pierces your eardrums if you sit in front!!! If you already know some Physics, ignore him and just follow his examples!!!

He definitely knows his stuff and after taking the other physics teachers, he is so much better. The curve helps a lot and he is always willing to help you if you need it. Granted, he has a wierd sense of humor but overall he a good teacher.

Comment:

Knows his stuff, and the curve is a godsend. He's verbose, but really helpful and cares about how well you do. If you're respectful and make an attempt he'll bend over backwards to make sure that you're prepared and able to get all of the homeworks done. He's worth taking classes with (especially if physics is your thing).

Comment:

So Smart but he can't teach at all. Has great difficulty bringing down the concepts to your level. Very nice guy and fun to poke fun at... Also grades on a HUGE curve so it's not TOO hard. He makes fun of you all the time to. Some famous sayings... "That's so sad" "and stuff like that" "persay"...GOOFY!

Cant communicate for his life. If you get stuck with him,do something entertaining with his lectures and count the number of times he says 'and stuff' or 'persay'.

Rambles on and grades every little thing wrong that he can find. Will not cut you any slack, although he does know his stuff, ... and stuff. He will get on your nerves by the end of the quarter, and so on and stuff.
