Comment:

Best physics teacher at the school, not sure how much longer he'll be teaching but if you can, do yourself a favour and take his class! Wants you to know big ideas and doesn't pick on the details. On tests you can get 75% no problem, but to get an A you have to be able to answer the last one which is usually pretty hard.

Comment:

George is one of the best teachers I've ever had. He has great teaching skills and obviously really cares about his job. His completely random stories are hysterical, although I don't think he realizes that girls play pool and football now... George is fair and knows hat he's doing.

Comment:

Has wonderful stories and is obsessed with the long-term well-being of his molecules. Is sometimes unintentionally **** (i.e. assumes girls won't understand problems involving footballs). Extremely helpful/old.

Makes classes interesting with his hilarious stories, that quite often have nothing to do with anything being taught.

Excellent teacher, very helpful and encouraging. Teaches skills, not just facts and equations, so his class actually gives you useful knowledge. His instruction on the computer program Maple was very clear, concise and useful in the rest of my studies.

I graduated a couple years back and highly recommend George's classes. He is an ex high school teacher and thus has good teaching skills. Cares about what he does.
