Doesn't go past what something is. Once he says it, he assumes you understand it. Nice guy and you can understand every word he says, but his clicker quiz after an unclear concept method is tough. Brace yourself.

Online course notes were not conducive to learning. Assignments and exams were similar in difficulty, and therefore difficult, but manageable. Lover of ambiguous and unanswerable iclicker questions.

Difficult to understand, made content harder than it actually was. Good person with good organization but does not convey material effectively

Comment:
Decent teacher. Involved, and usually through. Demos are pretty cool. The only negative i can recall is the time he spent deriving like 3 or 4 really long equations where the steps wern't explained throughly. (Would be easier if you could have these explaination on the slide so you can follow along as hes doing it on the blackboard. Cool name.

Smart teaching ideas, he is always trying to creat enthusiasm. Venus is one of my best professors this year. Serious about his work ethic, yet willing to add a few creative jokes to help us keep awake for the 8:30 shift (attendance jokes were classic)

Good prof. Lectures are adequate to do good on tests. Cracks jokes quite often to stir up the half asleep 8:30 classes ;-) !!

Providing the notes on the web way in advance of the class was one of the greatest tools to learning quantum mechanics without too much effort.
